Expanded Definition

We experience it as waves with varying wavelengths, sneaking into your eyes via your retinas and allowing you to see everything from the rainbow to your morning cereal.

Light encompasses a range of electromagnetic radiation visible to the human eye – and some invisible, like ultra-violet (beach tan defier) and infrared (night vision aficionado).
