Some photons’ frequencies lie
between those of ultra-violet and
infra-red rays. When these fall on
the retinal layer at the back of our
eyes, the cells there turn them into
electrical signals. We then perceive
these photons, which are actually
particles, as "light." If the cells in
our eyes perceived photons as
"heat," then what we refer to as
light, color and darkness would not

"hot" or "cold."

It Is Not the Eye That Sees

We provide this technical information about various forms of radiation
simply to explain that they don’t give rise to the effect known as "light."
These radioactive particles strike, bounce, and give rise to physical and
chemical effects that sometimes cause damage. Yet the effects they cause
can never be referred to as light.

The only reason we describe some of these particles as "light rays" is that
they’re perceived by our eyes. Photons falling on our eyes’ retinal layer are
turned into electrical impulses by the receptor cells there. The optical nerves
carry this electrical current to the visual center at the rear of the brain. This
center interprets the current and gives rise to images.
