LIGHT CHARACTERISTIC 2

Light is an electromagnetic radiation, and the particle packet

called photon. In the all electromagnetic wave spectrum, light
have a small spectrum and very special. Light is the only
spectrum that human can see with the length of wave is 400
700 nm. The different wave length will make a different color

with 670 nm length will have a red
