Light is an energy that
behaves in the form of
a wave. Light waves
resemble waves in wa-
ter. But unlike the en-
ergy in water, this en-
ergy here has no need
of a medium to travel
through. It can move
within a total vacuum.
Thus light energy can
be found where there
is no matter.

Light waves, understandably, are rather more complicated
than waves in water and do not require a medium in order to trav-
el. They can travel through an empty vacuum. Light is dependent
31
on matter only at the initial stage. Once light has been emitted, it
can move independently with no material element. Light energy
can be found even where there is no matter at all.
Light and heat are different forms of the energy known as
electromagnetic radiation. All the various forms of electromagnet-
ic radiation act in the form of energy waves in space. Again, this
can be compared—albeit simplistically—to ripples created when a
stone is thrown into a lake. In the same way that those ripples may
be of different width and amplitude, so electromagnetic radiation
