Weapon has potential to help protect against drone threats as nature of warfare changes.

You see the light waves reflected off of various materials.

That’s it. And, indeed, you see light. That’s what your eyes do.

Little smart ass knowhow: With your hands, you can feel light.

You feel infrared light as heat. Not visible light though. Just heat up your cooker stove and it emits a bit visible red and a lot infrared light. Don’t touch just keep your hand close to the stove. Now you feel the IR-„light“.

Or just take an IR-lamp for your neck pain. You‘ll feel the light that’s emitting with your hands.
