- Transfers Energy, not matter, from one place to another
- Light is invisible until it interacts with matter
- Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum (at the speed of light - "c" or 300,000 km/sec) as well as mediums such as air and water
- Has properties of waves and particles {when it contacts matter}
We can study visible light safely, and it helps us understand the other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum
