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.
Light is a transverse, electromagnetic wave that can be seen by a typical human. Wavelengths in the range of 400–700 nm are normally thought of as light.
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.
