Synopsis

This book demystifies the composition and properties of light. The author meticulously explains how light refracts to form a spectrum, and then goes on to explore what this means. From the discovery that white light is not pure, to the development of tools that can analyze light, this book charts the evolution of our understanding of the very nature of light itself. The author shows how the spectroscope has unlocked countless mysteries of the universe, shining a light on the composition of stars and planets and leading to new insights into the very nature of matter.
