Introduction
Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that also includes microwaves and radio waves. Light energy is made up of photons which shows the properties of a wave in that they oscillate up and down as they move through space (Fritzsch, 2005). The main factor that separates the different types of electromagnetic radiations is that each of them has a different wavelength. For instance, the visible light is comprised of radiation with wavelengths ranging from 400 to 700 nm. The difference in these wavelengths is perceived by the human ...
