I learned about plato's allegory of the cave history of light. and in this process I learned throught the 18 century all the way up to now light bulbs and soo mucsh more was created for the way we see things. what i've learned is how the throught the 1800's when thomas edison created the first light bulb he was just playing around and discovered that he can make light.all the way from.
1879- the first incodesent light bulb was created
1934 the first HID light bulb was created

QUOTE; Genius is one percent inspirational and nintey-nine percent perspiration *~Edison~*
with wisdom there is knowldge and when the lightsb shine you should'nt block it you should let your little shine!
Well the first thing that I learned about light is that its made up of multiple things such as;
1). electromagnetic
2). radiation
and those parts are also made up of multiple parts themselves such as;
radiation is made up of
a). electric
B). micro
C). x-rays
when you look at thing the eyes are most sensitive to the color yellow.
I know that lumen is the measure of visible radiation and I know that when you calculate lumens you give much more weight to the yellow portion of the spectrum and much les weight to the blue and red regions. which means that if the light is reflecting and is angled on a specific object than the light shows the yellow in a more complex way.
