Do all planets receive the same wavelengths of light from their star?

We observe our world through the light visible to our eyes, however there are know organisms who see different wavelengths, bees for example can see ultraviolet light. Could there be planets where potential lifeforms might have to evolv to see x-rays or microwaves in order to observe their world?

If some planets received a different composition of light waves than ours I suspect it might be possible but I don't know if that is physically accurate. 

I know there are different types of stars and I know that the consensus is that a planet needs to be in the 'goldilocks zone' of a star to support life.

Thought I might ask here and hope it's not a completely stupid question haha thanks.

The "spectrum" of a star is what we call the distribution of brightness over different wavelengths. Hot blue stars have a spectrum that has more on the blue/ultraviolent end, and cool red stars lack the blue/UV but still have red/infrared.

In the "main sequence", where stars spend most of their lives, the blue stars are brighter and the red stars are dimmer, with yellow in the middle. The goldilocks zone is where the light from the star is bright that the planet is warm enough for liquid water to exist, but not so warm that it boils the water away instantly. You have a goldilocks zone around any type of star - it's just closer to a dim red dwarf than it is to a bright blue star.

So yes, a planet can be in the goldilocks zone of a star with a totally different spectrum. Even though your temperature might be the same, if you're in the goldilocks zone of a bright blue star, you'd getting hit with a "hard" spectrum with lots of UV - more UV than you'd get from being closer to a red dwarf star. If you're near a red dwarf star, you don't get as much visible light, even though it's fairly warm. This could have a big effect on the viability of life and its evolution.

(Side note: there are also bright red stars, i.e. red giants. But these are a short lived phase at the end of a star's life. Here the star gets a "softer" spectrum as it gets redder, but also becomes a lot brighter, enough that it would shift the goldilocks zone.)
