What type of wave is a light wave an example of?
Light is an example of a electromagnetic wave.
Does light have frequencies?
Light exhibits the qualities of both a particle and a wave. Wave-particle duality is a fundamental concept of quantum mechanics, and it is used to assist in explaining the nature of, in this case, light. Light does, indeed, exhibit both the qualities of a particle and those of a wave. And why is light a wave? Because it is. It is a wave because being a wave is an integral part of its fundamental nature. We cannot separate the wave characteristic from light and still have light. Light behaves like a wave, and that is why it is a wave. Perhaps it might be more helpful to say light behaves as it does, and "wave" is the word we use to describe its behavior. Perhaps that perspective, the view that light does its thing and we call what it does a wave, will make it easier to understand and accept that light is a wave.

What is the wave model of light?
its a light behaviour that represents light travelling as a wave
What describes light traveling as a wave?
a wave model of light.
What describes light travelling as wave?
a wave model of light.
What wave energy is used with spectroscopes?
Visible Light is used with Spectroscopes.
What type of wave is used for a laser?
A laser generates an electromagnetic wave operating at light frequencies.
If you create a wave that is opposite to the light wave can you remove the light?
Absolutely. Devices called interferometers are used to measure small distances in exactly that way.
What type of wave does light travel as?
A sonic wave.
What is the purpose of a spectroscope?
The spectorscope is used to mark wave lengths of light. :)
What kind of wave does light have?
I would rather say that light IS a wave, not that it HAS a wave. It is a type of electromagnetic wave.
Light travels as a longitudal wave?
