Light is a type of energy. It is a form of electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength which can be detected by the human eye. It is a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum and radiation given off by stars like the sun. See the fact file below for more information about light or download the comprehensive worksheet pack which can be utilised within the classroom or home environment.

Light is the name for a range of electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the human eye. Because light has both electric and magnetic fields, it is also referred to as electromagnetic radiation.

Light is a beam of energy that moves in a wave.

A light wave consists of energy in the form of electric and magnetic fields. The fields vibrate at right angles to the direction of movement of the wave, and at right angles to each other.

Light waves come in many sizes. The size of the wave, the distance between two wave peaks, is called a wavelength.

The wavelengths of the light that most people can see ranges from 400 to 700 billionths of a meter.

The human eye needs light to see.

Light travels very fast and in a straight line, until something bends it. The straight waves of light are called light rays.

Light travels at about 186,000 miles per second [300,000 kilometers per second]. Light from the sun takes about 8 minutes to go 93 million miles (149 million kilometers) to earth. Really long distances can be measured in light years. This would be the distance that light can travel in a year, or 5,865,696,000,000 miles (9,460,800,000,000 kilometers).

Light is produced and controlled in many ways. A lens helps to control light that comes into the eye and into the lens of a camera. Light is also used in copymachines, televisions, satellites, telescopes, and medical system.

Plants convert light energy from the sun into food. This process is called photosynthesis.

Light Energy Facts

The potential for light to perform work is called light energy. Light energy is the only form of energy that we can actually see directly. It is formed through chemical, radiation, and mechanical means. Light energy can also be converted into other forms of energy.

Light travels at a speed of about 300,000 km/s.

The sunlight that we see here on Earth actually left the Sun 10 minutes before.

During photosynthesis, plants use light energy to create chemical energy.

UV lights are often used by forensic scientists to see details that are not seen by the naked eye.

Although humans cannot see UV light, some insects have the ability to see it.

Optics is the study of light.

The speed of light changes when traveling through different objects.

Light is a type of electromagnetic energy.

Light is made of tiny photons which contain lots of energy.

The intensity of photons is dependent upon the amount of energy they contain.

Space is dark because light is only visible when it has an object of which to bounce off.

Light energy is always moving and can therefore not be stored.

Light is also called electromagnetic radiation when speaking of light other than visible light.

Of all the forms of radiation and light on the electromagnetic spectrum, humans can only visibly see a very small amount of light.

The reason we see different colors of light is because each color has a different wavelength.
