Light:
Light is a natural energy form that enables sight and makes objects visible. The path of light becomes visible only when it is scattered by dust particles in the air. This scattering allows the light’s movement to be detected. Light itself is not visible to the human eye. It simply illuminates objects, allowing them to be seen. Light and the eyes both are necessary to see things. The sensation that helps us to see things is called sight or vision.
Sources of Light:
- Sun
- Stars
- Candle flame
- Fire
- Lightning
- Oil lamps
- LED lights
- Laser
- electric torch
