Light is electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the human eye. Light is typically defined by its intensity (brightness), and wavelength (color).

Wave theory

In the wave theory, light is described as a propagating wave of energy, similar to an ocean wave.

  • Amplitude - The total energy carried by the wave is amplitude
  • Wavelength - The distance propagated between troughs or peaks
