Elemental Philosophy

After reading about light and shadow, I particularly was interested in the scientific aspect of it. Light is described as electromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength visible to the eye. Light is said to have properties of waves and particles. Like particles, it can show intensity like brightness. There are also many different kinds of light such as natural and artificial light, which corresponds to radiant and ambient light. Radiant light comes from a given source of energy and has an infinite amount of rays. Ambient light on the other hand is an effect of illumination. It gathers at the middle of observation and has structure. An example of radiant light would be the sun and an example of ambient light would be the light given off by a lamp, for example.

After reading the section on night, I was reminded most of morning and night people. Some people are wide awake really early in the morning and are full of energy. They are ready to start their day really early! On the other hand, there are night people. They wake up later in the day and have the most energy at night, which can be really late. Personally, as a kid, I was a morning person. I was wide awake at 5 am and loved to watch cartoons. But as I grew older, I developed more into a night person. Now, I love sleeping in late and find I get most things done at night. I find it interesting how people can change between being a morning and night person and wonder what makes this change happen.
