What is the difference between visible light and infrared light?

Back

Visible light is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen by the human eye, while infrared light is not visible and is felt as heat.

Front

Can light change the state of a material?

Back

Yes, light can change the state of a material by providing energy that causes physical or chemical changes, such as color change or heating.
