How can light be defined in simplest form?

The common definition of 'light' (visible) is electromagnetic radiation visible to the human eye. It is only a small part of what is known as the 'electromagnetic spectrum' - which is the range of wavelengths of all possible electromagnetic radiation. Light is electromagnetic radiation, as reported. But, even though it behaves like a wave, it also behaves as a particle. We can call a particle of light a photon. Light has two identities, a "duality" of sorts, that is called wave-particle duality. That's about as simple as it can get. Light is called a "wavicle" by some, and for reason that it displays qualities of both a wave and a particle.


How does different light affects things?

Visible light consists of a number of wavelengths. Blue light is the most energetic, red light the least energetic. Green plants grow best in red or blue light (sunlight is a mixture of wavelengths) and do not grow in green or yellow light. Light intensity will affect the growth of plants. Laser light (high intensity with very narrow wavelength) can be used to cut and obviously hurt if used incorrectly. Some people are photo sensitive and light can cause them pain. Green plants are photo sensitive and will grow towards the light.
