Solution

Light is an electromagnetic wave emitted by hot objects like lasers, bulbs, and the sun. Light is a type of kinetic energy that allows us to see or make objects visible with our eyes. The human eye can see light energy, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation. Photons are tiny energy packets that make up light.

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