Mahogany

Mahogany is a straight‑grained, reddish‑brown timber produced by three tropical hardwood species of the genus Swietenia, native to the Americas and belonging to the pantropical chinaberry family, Meliaceae. The term refers specifically to wood from Swietenia macrophylla, Swietenia mahagoni, and Swietenia humilis. Of these, S. macrophylla is the most widespread and the only species widely grown commercially.

Light

Light, visible light, or visible radiation is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived by the human eye. Visible light spans the visible spectrum and is usually defined as having wavelengths in the range of 400–700 nanometers (nm), corresponding to frequencies of 750–420 terahertz. The visible band sits adjacent to the infrared and the ultraviolet, called collectively optical radiation.
