light is the natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible.
Light is what's called an "electromagnetic wave", just like radio waves, microwaves, X-ray waves, etc. Electromagnetic waves typically start when an electric charge jiggles back and forth. Depending on the "frequency" of the electromagnetic wave (or how scrunched together the peaks in the wave are), you get different kinds of waves. For example, radio waves have a pretty low frequency - that is, the peaks in a radio wave are pretty far apart. Next comes microwaves, then infrared light. Next is the visible spectrum (i.e. the different colors of light that people can see), followed by ultraviolet light. Then waves with higher frequency are called X-rays and still higher are gamma rays - these have the peaks closest together. Sometimes you'll hear that light is made of photons. What that means is that when light is absorbed or emitted, the energy in the wave comes in lumps. The size of those lumps (or "quanta") of energy depends on the frequency. The higher the frequency the more energy per photon.

Einstein called this energy packets photons, and these are now recognised as a fundamental particle.
visible light is carried by photons and so are all the other kinds of electromagnetic radiation, like X rays microwaves and their radio waves, In other words life is a particle.
