| Light is electromagnetic
radiation that travels as a wave. The wave travels quickly, at the speed of
light. |
|
| Light waves vary in
height or amplitude (which affects brightness) and in wavelength (which
affects color) or distance between peaks. |
|
| Light can also vary in
its purity, which has to do with how many different wavelengths are mixed
together. |
|
| Purity influences the
perception of saturation, or richness of colors. |
