Light is theorized as both a particle and a wave. Since it is similar to the electron in this way, the Double-Slit Experiment showed that there is a concentration of charge in many areas, but when closely examined, the electron only passes through one of the two slits. Light travels in both a wave and a particle in this sense. Things such as interference, diffraction and polarization cannot be explained by light being a particle as the photoelectric effect cannot be explained by light being a wave, in addition to reflection and refraction both able to be explained by either a wave or a particle.
light waves fast
In air, light waves travel about 871 thousand times faster than sound waves.
Light waves do not need a medium to propagate. Sound waves cannot travel without a medium. Light waves always travel at the speed of light that is 3*108m/s.
Light waves travel from sun to the earth.
yes it travels in waves.
You can see light waves (or particles . . .) but you cannot hear them. sound must travel thru matter , light can travel thru vacuum
All electromagnetic waves travel through space at the "speed of light". Light is one form of electromagnetic waves.
Radio-waves, like light, are electromagnetic waves and hence travel at the speed of light.
Yes. Light IS electromagnetic waves.
Light waves and electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space. Water waves can only travel through matter. Hope this helped!
