This document discusses properties of visible light. It states that light is a form of electromagnetic energy that allows us to see objects. Light travels in straight lines at about 300,000 km/s through space from a light source. Objects can be luminous sources that emit light, like the sun, or reflective objects that appear luminous by reflecting light, like the moon. Light interacts with objects in different ways - it can pass through transparent objects, be partially transmitted through translucent objects, or be blocked by opaque objects. Shadows are formed when light rays do not travel in straight lines.
