Abstract

Light is electromagnetic radiation in the visible region, which includes light of colors violet, blue, green, yellow, orange and red, in order of increasing wavelength from 0.4 to 0.7 pm. The visible region only constitutes a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes γ-rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwave and radio (TV) radiation, in order of increasing wavelength from 10−14 to 104 m, as shown in Figure 8.1.
