How Light Works
What is light scientifically?
Light, is the smallest quantity of energy that can be transported. A photon,
an elementary particle without a real size. That can't be split, only
created or destroyed.
When we say light, we actually mean visible light which is a tiny part of
the electromagnetic spectrum: energy in form of electromagnetic
radiation.
Electromagnetic radiation consist of an enormous range of wavelengths and
frequencies. Gamma rays have the smallest wave lengths because they are the
highest energy photons. Visible light is in the middle of the spectrum
and on the other end of the spectrum are radio waves.
