Science

Light is a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, ranging from radio waves to gamma rays. Understanding this is crucial in fields like astronomy, where telescopes observe celestial objects in different wavelengths. Moreover, advancements in optics and photonics have revolutionized industries.
