\section{Introduction}
Light is ubiquitous, shaping our perception of the world and driving technological advancements. In physics, light is studied as electromagnetic radiation, exhibiting both wave-like and particle-like properties. This article explores the nature of light, its historical development, theoretical frameworks, and modern applications, providing a foundation for understanding its role in the universe.
Figure 1 highlights the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum [5].
