Light waves are electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum. They have properties such as wavelength, frequency, amplitude, and speed. Light waves can exhibit behaviors like reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference.
The three properties of light waves are: reflection (bouncing off a surface), refraction (bending as it passes through different mediums), and diffraction (bending around obstacles).
Sound waves and light waves are both forms of energy that travel in waves, but they have different properties and behaviors. Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through, while light waves are electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum. Sound waves travel slower than light waves and can be reflected, refracted, and diffracted, while light waves can also be polarized and undergo interference. Sound waves are longitudinal waves, meaning they travel by compressing and expanding the medium, while light waves are transverse waves, with oscillations perpendicular to the direction of travel.
Both light waves and sound waves are forms of energy that travel in waves, they can be reflected, refracted and diffracted. Both can also exhibit properties like interference and polarization.
If you set up an experiment with equipment that detects and measures wave properties and then run light through it, light behaves like waves. If you set up an experiment with equipment that detects and measures particle properties and then run light through it, light behaves like particles. Light exhibits the propertiers of both waves and particles.
Unpolarized light is composed of waves vibrating in all directions perpendicular to the direction of propagation. It has random orientations and phases. Polarized light, on the other hand, has waves vibrating in a single plane. This results in light waves that are aligned in a specific direction, which allows for certain properties like filtering and blocking of light.
light has properties of both a wave and a particle whereas sound travels exclusively as a waves. i think Einstein did some work with light waves
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 wave model of light and the particle model of light.
Light travels in waves as electromagnetic radiation. These waves have properties such as wavelength, frequency, amplitude, and speed. Wavelength is the distance between wave peaks, frequency is the number of wave cycles per second, amplitude is the height of the wave, and speed is the rate at which the wave travels. These properties determine the behavior of light waves, including how they interact with matter and how they are perceived by our eyes.
