### In the lessons

In science lessons, visible light is the light our eyes can see, made of the colours of the rainbow; some things, like germs and air, are not visible to the eye. In safety, wearing bright or reflective clothes makes you visible to drivers at night. Phrases: «visible to the naked eye», «clearly visible», «make yourself visible», «visible light».
