Light is a form of energy. It can come from many sources, for example: the Sun; light bulbs; lightning; candles; glow sticks. Some animals, such as fireflies and glow-worms, are also...

Using the energy of light, plants combine a gas in the air called carbon dioxide with water in the soil. Through this process, called photosynthesis, plants make their own food. People and other animals then use plants for food. As plants make food, they also give off a gas called oxygen.

When we're very young, we have a very simple idea about light: theworld is either light or dark and we can change from one to the otherjust by flicking a switch on the wall. But we soon learn that light ismore complex than this. Light arrives on our planet after a speedy trip from the Sun, 149 million km (93 million miles away). Light travels at186...
For hundreds of years, scientists have argued over whether light isreally a wave at all. Back in the 17th century, the brilliant Englishscientist Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727)—one of the first people to studythe matter in detail—thought light was a stream of "corpuscles" or particles.But his great rival, a no-less-brilliant Dutchman named Christiaan...
Light waves (let's assume they are indeed waves for now) behave infour particularly interesting and useful ways that we describe asreflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference.
Light energy from the Sun is transferred into electrical energy (another form of energy) by a solar panel. Heat energy from a hot water bottle is transfers to a bed (another object). The...

Torches, candles, and oil lamps are all sources of light. They depend on a chemical reaction—burning—to release the energy we see as light. Plants and animals that glow in the dark—glowworms, fireflies, and some mushrooms—change the chemical energy stored in their tissues to light energy.
