Light, an electromagnetic wave, travels in straight lines and interacts with materials to create fascinating effects like refraction and reflection. Refraction occurs when light changes speed and direction as it moves between different substances, showcasing the colors of a rainbow due to dispersion. Each color's wavelength and frequency contribute to this sequence—remembered as ROY G BIV—forming what we see as visible light. Light also reflects off surfaces, like mirrors and water, allowing us to perceive our surroundings. These properties highlight light's ability to dazzle with colors and reveal the beauty of our universe through its interactions with matter.
