Light can occur at different frequencies. These frequencies lie on a spectrum, if you want an idea of what the frequencies look like, have a look at a rainbow, with red at the lowest frequency and blue/violet at the highest for visible light. When all of these frequencies are mixed together (like the light created from the "white hot" sun) white light is the result.

Light is white when it REFLECTS every single color on an object(when all the colors are absorbed, it's black).
