What is light in scientific and religious terms? Just want people to see different sides of the same thing^^?

Scientific - Light, or visible light, is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength that is visible to the human eye (about 400–700 nm). In a scientific context, the word light is sometimes used to refer to the entire electromagnetic spectrum.[1] Light is composed of elementary particles called photons.

Three primary properties of light are:

Intensity;

Frequency or wavelength and;

Polarization.

Light can exhibit properties of both waves and particles. This property is referred to as wave-particle duality. The study of light, known as optics, is an important research area in modern physics.

christian perspective:

What light is, on a physical plane, God is on every level of human experience. If you want to understand the character of God, then observe what light is. What light does, God does. Darkness conceals, but light reveals. Light measures. God is a measuring stick, a point of reference. You can use God to measure everything else. Light not only reveals and measures, but light energizes too.

Just to say, you can only give 10 points to one person, so you've made a false promise from the start. :P

Light is electromagnetic radiation. It's still somewhat an anomaly, because while it exists in discreet 'packets' or particles known as photons, at the same time it is a continuous electromagnetic wave. Wave/particle duality is one of the most fascinating mysteries humans have discovered thus far.

It is the bridge.

Science tells us that light is a wave-particle. Spiritually light is physical-spirit.

So it is the boundary between opposites and is the key to understanding God / The theory of ever thing.

I AM NOT ANSWERING FOR YOUR POINTS.

I don't need that- but I want to let you know that

:-- Science says light is PHOTON ( pack of energy) Which is having higher frequencies. Light

is the only source of life in the earth. Without it everything will be doomed.

I am Hindu,from that point of view Light is life to all the universe , to us it is sun. We worship sun

everyday for its greatness , and call him GOD of light. SURYA BIGGAN or Science of the sun

is a very ancient book of India which states that

there is nothing lifeless in the universe.

AND now Scientist Eddington says after Millions of year of SURYA BIGGAN that " THE WORLD IS MADE OF MIND STUFF"- means it is a living thing.

AS SCIENCE GROWS DAY BY DAY

I CAN SEE ALL THOUGHTS OF OUR RISHI,MUNI AND THEIR TEACHINGS OF ANCIENT HINDU WERE SO MUCH PERFECT.

DON'T FORGET NUMERICS,CONCEPT OF ZERO WHICH ARE BASE OF SCIENTIFIC CALCULATION WERE GIVEN BY INDIA ,TO THE WORLD.

We are worshiping light form of energy for millions of year and Science is jumping from physics to meta-physics, Quantum physics to Quantum Kinetics-----...............................

Electromagnetic radiation in the spectrum that our eyes can perceive.

Light is visible electromagnetic radiation.
