Is light Interference a wave or participle?
It "is" neither; however, light interference is related to light's wave-like properties, not to its particle-like properties. Interference is something that affects all sorts of waves.
Why was wave theory of light inadequate and was rejected?
In some experiments, light appeared to have wave properties, but in others, it appeared to have particle properties. The two ideas were believed to be in conflict - light was believed to be either one or the other. However, today it is accepted that light has both particle and wave properties.
Four properties of light?
one of the properties of light is that light travel at straight line
What are the common properties and characteristic of light?
wheat are the common properties and characteristic of light
What else is like light?
Anything that is electromagnetic radiation has similar properties to light. This can be radio waves, microwaves, infa-red radiation, light, ultra-violet radiation, x-rays, or gamma rays.
Who discovered properties of light?
Sir W. Crookes discovered the Properties of Light in 1879.
What does light travel in?
The simplest answer is that light consists of particles with wave properties. Elementary particles also have wave properties. This is how light travels.
Is a wave a properties of light?
Not exactly - light has wave properties. That means that it behaves like a wave.
Which properties of light defines light as a wave?
It can be reflected, refracted and polarised. It also shows the phenomenon of interference. (Young's double slit experiment) The above are the properties of waves. Light shows these properties and thus, this defines light as a wave.
The behavior and properties of light and the interaction of light with matter is?
optics
Write down different properties of light and sound?
Write down different properties of light and sound?
Which of the following properties of sound is the most similar to the brightness of light?
Both sound and light waves reflect. Sound waves reflect off of objects to create an echo. Light waves reflect off of objects and point the light in another direction.
