    Introduction<\/h3>\r\nLight is one of the most important resources for civilization, it provides energy as it pass along by the sun. Light influence our everyday live. Living organisms sense light from the environment by photoreceptors. Light, as waves carry energy, contains energy by different wavelength. In vision, light is the stimulus input.\u00a0 Light energy goes into eyes stimulate photoreceptor in eyes.\u00a0 However, as an energy wave, energy is passed on through light at different wavelength.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
