- Within tissue, photons interact with biological matter via various processes, which can be broadly categorized into scattering and absorption (Fig. 1a and Box 1). Scattering can alter the propagation path, polarization and spectrum of scattered light. The states of the scattered light can be analysed and mapped for diagnosis and imaging.

Light has some interesting properties, many of which are used in medicine: - The speed of light changes when it goes from material into another. The ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to its speed in a given material is called the index of refraction.

The use of light in medicine is an extension of light’s evolutionary role in biology. Color perception is mediated by the absorption of light by three types of cones (blue, green and red, with respective wavelengths of 400–450 nm, 500–570 nm and 610–750 nm).
I. Introduction to Electromagnetic Properties of Light. Light is electromagnetic radiation that consists of waves of electric and magnetic fields traveling through space. These waves carry energy and travel through a vacuum without needing a medium. Studying light's electromagnetic properties helps us understand a range of phenomena, from how ...

These different colours of light have different wavelengths and frequencies. Red light has the longest wavelength, and the lowest frequency of the visible spectrum. Violet has the shortest wavelength, and the highest frequency of the visible spectrum.
Mixing coloured materials, such as paint, is an example of subtractive colour mixing. Red paint appears red to us because when white light strikes it, the red pigments reflect the red wavelengths of light and absorball of the wavelengths. This reflected light is what is seen by our eyes. The same is true for all of the other colours. So what about ...

LIGHT IN MEDICINE. Light has some interesting properties, many of which are used in medicine: The speed of light changes when it goes from one material into another. The ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to its speed in a given material is called the index of refraction. Light behaves both as a wave and a particle.
