Introduction                    If you had a camera with you in an unlit room and took a photo of your surroundings, upon looking at it later you would observe a black photo, void of dimension, color, texture, or any properties that we commonly observe composing reality with our eyes. For the camera to be capable of producing an image of the world, it requires light, and our eyes are no different. It's hard to imagine, but everything that we see is ultimately only visible in the context of vision, which arises due to light and how our eyes interact with it. What exactly is light? It is one of those things that is hard to define, and the true extent to which this phenomena can be dissected is beyond the scope of this website. However, in the following pages, I will attempt an elementary explanation of some of the key observations we have made overtime that help define our current understand of visible light. By highlighting these attributes, I hope to build a deeper understanding for the reader of how light woks and what is happening when we interact with it.                                                          ~As pictured above: Left we see a low lit room where objects are hard to make out due to an absence of light.         On the right, a well illuminated room shows the rich colors and dimensions of the world we are visually familiar with.             <index   2> , 3> , 4> , reference>
