Solution

Light is made up of photons, which are like tiny packets of energy. Visible light is created when electrons that are located inside atoms return to their ground state after being in an excited state with the emission of the photons. Light is radiant energy, meaning it is electromagnetic radiation that can be seen with the human eye.
