   What type of light can you see?

   • Only visible light is what you can see. However, there are other types of light. X-rays, ultraviolet and infrared rays are all types of light. The shortest waves of light are gamma rays and radio waves are the longest wavelength of light. (From Ella at the Idaho Distance Education Academy)

   Is light a wave?

   • This difficulty gets greatly magnified for the case of light. We know that light is a wave based on how it behaves – it exhibits the same properties of other waves we have examined – it interferes with itself, it follows an inverse-square law for intensity (brightness), and so on.

   Is light a wave or a particle?

   • A Study Based on 8–4th Centuries BC Evidence In this International Year of Light, it is particularly appropriate to review the historical concept of what is light and the controversies surrounding the extent of the visible spectrum. Today we recognize that light possesses both a wave and particle nature.

   Is light a form of energy?

   • Light is a form of energy. What we call light is electromagnetic radiation that the human eye can see. It exists in tiny packets called photons. Scientists say that light has properties of both a particle and a wave. Light waves travel at a speed of about 186,282 miles (300,000 kilometers) per second.

   What are the different types of light?

   • Light is not just the type of light we see with our eyes. Only visible light is what you can see. However, there are other types of light. X-rays, ultraviolet and infrared rays are all types of light. The shortest waves of light are gamma rays and radio waves are the longest wavelength of light.

   How do light waves travel?

   • Light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the eye. It travels as a transverse wave. Unlike a sound waves, light waves do not need a medium to pass through, they can travel through a vacuum. Light from the Sun reaches Earth through the vacuum of space.
