What phenomena are transmissions of light?

Answer 1

Gamma rays - X-Rays - UV light - visible light- Ifrared light - Microwave - Radio wave - Long Radio wave

All of these things are radiation in different frequencies, visible light is all the different colors we can see, but its just a tiny part of the spectrum.

One Phenomenon that comes to mind is the northern lights which is a result of radiation from solar flares that interact with the gravity fields at the north and south poles, which changes the frequencies of some of the radiation into visible light.

The fact that the sky looks blue, when it in fact it is black, is because our atmosphere lets more of the blue spectre of the light through than the rest of the colors.

Rainbows are white light that is refracted (split up) by droplets of water, (white light contains all the visible colors but is not really a color itself)

The color black is actually not a color, but rather a lack of color, and you cant really see it, the only reason you think you can see it, is because of what is around it.

Microwaves that interacts with objects create heat, because it makes atoms move and the friction in the atoms turn the energy into heat, which is why sunlight heats up things, and the same thing happens in a microwave oven.

All radiation (which light is a tiny part of) can in some degree appear to move through solid objects, but 99.99999999% of an atom is empty space, so in fact it moves "around" atoms (or through if you count the empty space as a part of the atom) but when it does it can change frequency, and change color or change from visible to invisible light or vice versa.

Hope this was the kind of answers you were looking for :P
