  • Light

    A Very Short Introduction

    by Ian A. Walmsley ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions
    Light enables us to see the world around us. Our sense of sight provides us with direct information about space and time, the physical arrangement of the world, and how it changes. This almost universal shared sensation of vision has led to a fascination with the nature and properties of light across the ages. But the light we see is just a small part of the whole spectrum of electromagnetic ... Read more
