Light waves are classified as what waves?
Optical light waves are "Electromagnetic" waves. The colour seen is dependent on the wavelength of the light. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves where the oscillation is 90 degrees to the direction of travel (unlike sound waves which are longitudinal).
Where do light waves originate?
Light waves originate from vibrating electrons.
Which waves can be separated into different wavelengths of colored light?
visible light waves
Why do electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light?
Radio-waves, like light, are electromagnetic waves and hence travel at the speed of light.
Light and sound waves have many similar properties however light waves are what while sound waves are what?
Light waves are eletromagnetic waves and sound waves are mechanical waves. Additionally, a light wave is a transverse wave that does not require a medium through which to travel. Sound waves, on the other hand, are longitudinal waves where the source transfers the mechanical energy of the sound wave into the medium so it can travel.
What does light do in a kaleidoscope?
In a kaleidoscope, light is used to make make the colors and shapes inside visible.
Does the color of a laser affect the velocity of the light waves projected by the laser?
does the color of a lease affect the velocity of the light waves projected by the laser?
How do light waves affect matter?
light waves travel through a matter, such as air water and others
How does a kaleidoscope use light?
its doesnt!!!
Can light waves always travel in staight lines?
You mean "can light waves travel in nonstraight lines?"? Yes, if they are diffracted or pass through different materials. Gravity can also affect light waves and curve them.
How do physics waves affect color?
There are many types of waves covered by physics. Only electromagnetic waves in the visible light band have the property that we call "color".
What is the instrument which changes the direction of light using plane mirrors?
kaleidoscope?????
What principle of light does the kaleidoscope use?
im pretty sure it only uses the reflection of light. (mirror)
The intensity of light waves is a measure of what?
The intensity of light waves is a measure of the energy that is carried by the waves. Light waves are electromagnetic waves.
How are light waves created?
light is not composed of waves .it is a form of energy . i think the waves in light are not created because there is no reason for the creation of waves in light
How are ultraviolet waves different from light waves?
Ultraviolet waves are smaller than light waves.
How do light waves differ from seismic waves?
light waves are transversal, seismic waves are longitudinal.
