Light and colour
Light is a form of energy that travels in waves, visible to the human eye. It allows us to see the world around us. Color is the way our brains interpret different wavelengths of light; each wavelength appears as a different color. For example, short wavelengths correspond to blue and violet, while longer wavelengths appear red. When light hits an object, specific wavelengths are absorbed and others are reflected; the reflected light determines the color we perceive. Thus, light and color are interconnected, shaping our visual experiences and understanding of the environment.
