The document discusses the visible light spectrum and related optical phenomena. It defines light as visible energy radiated by charged particles. The visible spectrum ranges from red to violet wavelengths and provides energy for plant and animal life through photosynthesis. Prisms separate white light into spectrum colors through refraction, bending light at different angles based on wavelength. Reflection and refraction are also used in optical devices like telescopes to direct and focus light, with reflecting telescopes using mirrors and refracting telescopes using lenses. The Hubble Space Telescope specifically collects light reflected off large mirrors in space.
