Why are light waves are able to travel through vacuum?
Light "waves" are able to travel through a vacuum because light is only halfway "wavy". Light is actually a collection of particles, known as photons. Photons, because they are particles, are able to travel through a vacuum; unlike waves, they don't need a medium to travel from place to place. If you're interested in what I mean by "halfway wavy" look up the quantum particle-wave duality nature of light on Wikipedia.
Dose light travel in strait lines?
yes hehe
Why do light rays travel in straight lines?
It does not, it travels as a wave
What properties of light define it as a wave?
An experiment was conducted in relation to this theory. A extremely small object (dot0 was placed in the path of light. If light is considered to be traveling in straight lines, then a small shadow should have been formed. However, in this case no shadow is formed. Meaning that light has bypassed the object... Such bypass is only possible when light is wavy in nature... How light is both wavy and particle in nature.
Why do you think gamma rays are drawn as wavy lines?
because they have no charge
Can you bend light?
Yes, but only with the help of mirrors otherwise light would be bknown to travel in wavy lines!
What do the wavy lines in math mean?
One wavy line (~) represents similarity. Two wavy lines (≈) means "approximately." THree wavy lines (≋) would most likely mean approximately identical to.
