The electromagnetic spectrum is the name of the spectrum they're all on. Radio waves and visible light are different parts of that spectrum, along with microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, x-ray and gamma waves. You cannot interchangeablly use different parts of the spectrum to communicate. Radio waves have information encoded into the amplitude of the waves, light is used to communicate by turning it on and off very fast. The mechanism that trasnmits information is funamenally different.
