How Light Works
Colour is all around us and without light there would be no colour.
Light waves are in four different categories:
Reflection
Refraction
Diffraction
Interference
Sunlight doesn't just have one colour, it's a white light that is made from all the colours being mixed together. This makes individual colours once that light is projected onto all objects. The wavelengths of light are not coloured, and are part of the visible light spectrum. There is a lot of Science involved in understanding the way light splits up, but we can experiment with a camera and see the colour around us.
