how does light makes things visible to us.

A particle of light, called a photon, travels at the speed of light toward the object. The photon hits an

atom, or particle of matter, on the object. The atom absorbs the energy from the light and releases a

new frequency of light. Basically, some wavelengths of light are absorbed and some are reflected off.

The new photon travels toward your eye, hits your eye, and sends a signal to your brain for

processing. FACT: A small portion of the spectrum of light is what we see, the rest of the light

surrounding us is in the form of radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, and x-rays.
