Light, visible light, or visible radiation is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived by the human eye. [1][2] Visible light spans the visible spectrum and is usually defined as having wavelengths in the range of 400–700 nanometres (nm), corresponding to frequencies of 750–420 terahertz.
Light: Science and Applications is an open access journal that publishes the highest quality articles in basic and applied optics and photonics.
Light is a primary tool for perceiving the world and interacting with it for many organisms. Light from the Sun warms the Earth, drives global weather patterns, and initiates the life-sustaining process of photosynthesis; about 10 22 joules of solar radiant energy reach Earth each day.
And what are some of the common properties of light, such as absorption, reflection, refraction and diffraction? You might think scientists know all the answers, but light continues to surprise them.
In most situations, light behaves like a wave with properties like wavelength and frequency, and is subject to diffraction and interference. In some situations, light can be considered to behave like a particle called a photon. This particle has no mass, but carries a fixed amount of energy.
