Light from our Sun and other sources is all around, bringing colour, heat and energy. Over time, humans have harnessed light to create fire, fluorescent light and even scientific equipment like lasers. But light and colour are tricky. Too much or too little light changes our body chemistry, when it bends it can fool our eyes, and it can even act like a wave or a particle. 

Explore what First Australians and scientists have learned about the incredible properties of light and colour.

About the Author

Australian Geographic captures the spirit of Australia, and strives to inspire, entertain and educate children with engaging stories, fascinating facts and amazing photography. Australian Geographic endeavours to leave our planet a better place, supporting conservation efforts, adventure and community projects – but most importantly they encourage the next generation to love the world we live in.

Founded by proud Kamilaroi man Corey Tutt OAM, DeadlyScience emerged with a powerful mission: to address the inequalities in educational resources and opportunities that discourage First Nations youth from pursuing their passions in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were the First Scientists of this land, and DeadlyScience is dedicated to celebrating and preserving that legacy. Through their programs and resources, DeadlyScience are breaking down barriers for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students across Australia and inspiring the next generation of deadly scientists, innovators, engineers, and mathematicians.
