What else can I help you with?
What is it called when light waves that travel in straight lines?
The phenomenon where light waves travel in straight lines is called rectilinear propagation. This means that light travels in a straight path unless it encounters a medium that causes it to change direction.
What is it called when electromagnetic energy that travels in waves down a straight path?
That is called a light ray or an electromagnetic wave.
Do light waves travel in straight paths called rays?
google it lazy bum. No, light waves are just that-- waves. The color of the wave is determined by it's frequency- normal light is white because it is low frequency. The frequency is how fast the light "waves". But a laser pointer has red light, which has a higher frequency, and therefore is only one color. Hope this helps!
What kind of wave does light travel in?
I have the straight answer from the Internet and my science teacher that light travels in the motion of waves.
Does color travel in waves?
No it doesn't. Sound travels in waves, but light tavels in straight lines.
What are light energy moves as waves are called?
Light energy moves as waves are called electromagnetic waves. These waves are characterized by their amplitude, wavelength, and frequency, and can travel through a vacuum at the speed of light.
Heat waves traveling at the speed of light are called?
Heat waves traveling at the speed of light are called RADIATION! :)
Moving light waves are called what kind of waves?
Electromagnetic waves. Otherwise known as light radiation.
What are Light Waves also called?
Light waves are also called electromagnetic waves. These waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that travel through space at the speed of light.
How do light rays travel light ray?
Light rays travel in straight lines called rays or beams. They propagate by transferring energy and momentum through particles or fields, such as photons in a vacuum or electromagnetic waves in a medium. Light rays can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed when interacting with different materials.
What are the waves called that have more energy than light you can see?
Sound because it has more waves than light.
Two accepted theories on how light travels?
Wave theory: Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that travels in waves. Particle theory: Light consists of particles called photons that travel in straight lines.
