Light is caused by high energy electrons that move from higher energy shells to lower energy shells. The bundle of energy that they give off is called a “photon”.
Photons travel through a vacuum at 3x108 m/s

Sources of LightSources of Light
Luminous sources are objects that emit light waves . The sun is a luminous body.
Illuminated objects reflect or transmit light that is incident upon them. The Moon is an illuminated body.
Transparent - transmits light Translucent - transmit, but reflects some light. Opaque - reflects all light

Wins Nobel prize for explaining that light is a particle AND a wave at the same time.
States that light is carried in packets of different energies. Called quanta.
Blue has more energy than red no matter the intensity. Why electrons are ejected for blue but not red.

Color works by absorption or reflection of specific wavelengths of light.
Green objects reflect green light and absorb all others. Magenta objects absorb all green and reflect blue and red.
