because light bounces off the leaf to our eyes to
tell us that it is green. But what is light? Which
are the sources of light from which light is
originated?
Light is electromagnetic radiation. A particular
frequency of this radiation (around 390-700
nm) is visible to the human eye. Everything that
we see around us is because of light. Light is a
form of energy and like all energies, it is
produced from a source. In physics, these are
called Light sources.
