Light can be described as electromagnetic waves, with color resulting from how different wavelengths interact with the light-sensitive cells in our eyes. While light exhibits particle-like properties as photons, it does not conform to the traditional concept of particles, as it lacks mass and cannot be precisely localized. The pressure exerted by light on surfaces, such as planets, is a consequence of its wave nature. Classical theories of electromagnetism explain most optical phenomena, but quantum theory, introduced by Planck, accounts for behaviors that classical physics cannot. Understanding light and color involves both physics and physiology, highlighting the complex nature of these phenomena.
