what is visible light and how does it travel?
Brief Explanations
Visible light is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is the range of wavelengths that the human eye can detect. Light travels in straight lines as rays. It can also be described as traveling in waves. In a vacuum, light travels at a constant speed of approximately \(3\times10^{8}\) meters per second.
