More Information about Light
Electromagnetic radiation waves, as their names indicate, can carry energy from one place to the next, with variations in electrical and magnetic field.
The visible light is not distinguished from the other aspects of the electromagnetic spectrum, except that visible waves can be observed in the human eye.
It is possible to classify electromagnetic radiation also as a stream of photons that are particulate matter that travel at light speed with wavelike properties.
A photon is the smallest amount (quantum), and the discovery that light travelled to a quantity was the root of quantum theory.
The vacuum light speed is a basic physical constant, and currently stands at 299,792.458 meters, or around 186,282 miles per second. The study of light and the interaction of light and matter is called optics.
Light is produced by one of two methods. The emission of light from hot matter is Incandescence. Luminescence is light emission when electrons lose energy and fall towards lower energy orbits.
Light is the only energy that we can see with eyes and it has numerous uses. Dark is the opposite word of light. Some types of light have cool effects for eyes like moonlight and some have hot effects like candle light.
It’s nice for us to see. This helps plants produce and grow food. It is used in satellites and in wind farms. It is used in a large number of electronic equipment.
Sunlight can be collected into solar panels and used for domestic purposes as it is both environmentally friendly and economically efficient.
Plants and other autotrophs use light to synthesize their own nutrients. The sun drops on the leaves and other greenish plant surfaces.
The stored energy is transformed by a process called photosynthesis to conserve energy in the form of food. Vitamin-D is a type of vitamin which is needed to be supplied from the external source it is provided by sun.
There are many ways to say light in different languages. The sun has powerful shining light. Going out under bright light of sun is dangerous for skin.
