     A Summary of my Project: Light and Colours is a website about light and colours. The site will teach you many things about light, from how light is created, the behaviours of light, and why we see colour. Light and Colours also teach you about the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum is a arrangement of invisible waves, like microwaves, and visible waves like light. Basically, the electromagnetic spectrum is light and beyond.
