Light, form of electromagnetic radiation similar to radiant heat, radio waves, and X rays. Light consists of extremely fast oscillations of an electromagnetic field in a particular range of frequencies that can be detected by the human eye. Different colour sensations are produced by light vibrating at different frequencies, ranging from about 4 × 1014 vibrations per second for red light to about 7.5 × 1014 vibrations per second for violet light. The visible spectrum of light is usually defined by its wavelength, ranging from the smallest visible wavelength for violet, about 40 millionths of a centimetre (16 millionths of an inch), to 75 millionths of a centimetre (about 30 millionths of an inch) for red. Higher frequencies, corresponding to shorter wavelengths, comprise ultraviolet radiation, and still higher frequencies are associated with X-rays. Lower frequencies, which are at longer wavelengths, are called infrared radiation, and still lower frequencies are characteristic of radio waves. Most light comes from electrons that vibrate at these high frequencies when heated to a high temperature. The higher the temperature, the greater the frequency of vibration and the bluer the light produced.\nLight is emitted from a source in straight lines and spreads out over a larger and larger area as it travels; the light per unit area diminishes as the square of the distance. When light strikes an object, it is either absorbed or reflected; light reflected from a rough surface is scattered in all directions. Some frequencies are reflected more strongly than others, and this gives objects their characteristic colour. White surfaces scatter light of all wavelengths equally, and black surfaces absorb nearly all light. Image-forming reflection, on the other hand, requires a highly polished surface such as that of a mirror.\n\nDefining the nature of light has always been a fundamental problem in physics. The English mathematician and physicist Sir Isaac Newton described light as an emission of particles, and the Dutch astronomer, mathematician, and physicist Christiaan Huygens developed the theory that light travels by a wave motion.\n\nIt is now believed that these two theories are essentially complementary, and the development of quantum theory has led to the recognition that in some experiments light acts like a series of particles and in other experiments it acts like a wave. In those situations in which it travels in wave motion, the wave vibrates at right angles to the direction of travel; therefore light can be polarized in two mutually perpendicular planes (see Optics).\n\nIII  VELOCITY \n\nThe speed of light was first measured in a laboratory experiment by the French physicist Armand Hippolyte Louis Fizeau, although earlier astronomical observations had yielded approximately the right velocity. By the 1970s the speed of light had been measured very precisely as 299,792,458 m/sec (186,282.397 mi/sec) in a vacuum, and could be used to measure large distances by the time it took for a pulse of light or radio waves to reach a target and return. This is the principle of radar and sonar. Accurate knowledge of the speed and the wavelength of light also permits accurate measurement of length. In fact, in 1983 the metre was redefined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second. The velocity of light in air varies slightly with wavelength, averaging about 3 per cent less than in vacuum; the speed in water is about 25 per cent less, and in glass, 33 per cent less.\n\nLight has an important effect on many chemicals. Sunlight, for example, is used by plants to carry out photosynthesis, and the exposure of certain silver-containing chemicals to light causes them to turn dark in the presence of other chemicals, as is the case in photography.

It is true. \nLight is a radiation- simply said  it is an energy that flying away from something.What we call light is just a certain range that electromagnetic radiation that we can perceive with our eyes. in reality the frequency of that radiation is much greater that we can see with our eyes. on the low end of it- there the length of the waves are longer are the heat waves. On the high end where we stop seeing violet light - radiation doesn't stop, just waves get shorter and shorter and we call it ultra violet light. Just because we don't see it, it doesn't mean that nature doesn't use it. Flowers have their elaborate patterns in Ultra Violet colors that bees see, that lead them to nectar.

Light is both a wave and a particle at the same time.\n\nLight is a form of energy, and depending on how you observe it, it exibits both properties of an electromagnetic wave or a particle (photon).\n\nElectromagnetic waves do not require a medium in which to propigate, they are a self propigating electric and magnetic field, allowing it to travel through a vacuum.\nEvidence of this can been seen in diffraction patterns, such as when you look at the rainbow effect on a CD.\n\nPhotons are a "quantized" amount of light.  These light partciles are absorbed or given off by atoms in something called the "photoelectric effect" (which Einstien received a nobel prize for).\nEvidence for this can be seen in things like LEDs or when you study the structure of the atom.

Light is emitted by objects that are very hot.\nLight is emitted by objects that are at very high temperatures.

Light is the only thing we see with our eyes. Electromagnetic waves are light wave, of which we see a very small branch of frequency.

Astronomy:The life of Stars. You can get some awesome pictures for that and there is plenty to write about, like (i am not completely sure about this number)did u know that light takes almost 250,000 years to travel from the center of our sun to the surface.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star

Light is a form of atomic radiation.  When an electron drops to a lower shell it releases a photon.  \n\nOther radiation can stimuate the energy in atoms and cause electrons to bounce up and down levels creating photons as well.

ok, you could choose how light waves chance in different colors, and make it interesting with examples of real life. You could also talk about the light properties like reflection, refraction, dispersion, diffraction and interference. Always remember to show an example from day to day life.
