There can be no light without darkness

Visible light is made up of the colours like we see in a rainbow. You can remember the colours using the acronym ROYGBIV, red-orange-yellow-green-blue-indigo-violet. Different colours have different wavelengths with red having a longest wavelength and violet having the shortest wavelength. Beyond visible light there is ultra-violet to x-rays with very short wavelengths and radio waves and microwaves with longer wavelengths. If you know a frequency, you can determine the wavelength by dividing 1 by the frequency e.g. 1/freq. That is all I know.
