Light, is the connection between us and the universe.Through light, we could experience distant stars and look back at the beginning of existence itself.But, what is light?In a nutshellLight, is the smallest quantity of energy that can be transportedA photon, an elementary particle without a real sizeThat can't be split, only created or destroyed.Light also has a wave-particle dualitybeing kind of a particle and a wave at the same time (although this is a lie)Also when we say light, we actually mean visible lightwhich is a tiny part of the electromagnetic spectrum:energy in form of electromagnetic radiation.Electromagnetic radiation consist of an enormous range of wavelengths and frequencies.Gamma rays have the smallest wave lengthsbecause they are the highest...
