Why do different objects appear to the naked human eye in different colors under white light or normal light condition?
Each material reflect different the light waves.
Why do light waves scatter?
Each colour of light has a different wave length which are affected differently by refraction so they spread out and 'scatter'.
What is a light wave?
Visible light waves are the only electromagnetic waves we can see. We see these waves as the colors of the rainbow. Each color has a different wavelength. Red has the longest wavelength and violet has the shortest wavelength. When all the waves are seen together, they make white light.
Does the same wave travel at different speeds in different mediums?
Short Answer:The speed of a wave depends very much on the type of the wave and the medium though which it moves.More:Sound waves in air, water waves in the ocean and light waves in space are waves different waves in different mediums and with vastly different speeds. Each of these types of waves changes speed dramatically in different media. Ripples move at a different speed than ocean waves. Light in glass travels at about two thirds of the speed of light in a vacuum and sound waves in metal are much faster than sound waves in air. Another good example is waves from an earthquake, which occur in two different forms and which are regularly experienced as separate shocks from an earthquake.
Can light waves and sound waves interfere with each other if yes why?
They can't interfere.
Are light waves longitudinal or tranverse?
light waves are transverse waves in which both electric and magnetic fields are mutually perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation
Photons are vibrating so some photon which are moving with a velocity of light and also vibreting in direction of moving light so photon tavell faster than light?
Light waves are made up of electrical waves and magnetic waves that are perpendicular to each other and support each other, they are also perpendicular to the direction the waves are traveling so there are no vibrations in the direction the light travels.
What is a wave theory?
The wave theory, originally proposed by Robert Hooke in the 1600s, proposes that light can act as waves as opposed to particles. It claims that waves can interfere with each other as well as have additive effects. Also, different colors are different wavelengths.
How do the various kinds of em waves different from each other?
There are two main types of EM waves. Magnetic waves and Electronic waves. They exist at orthogonal relationships with M waves and E waves at 90 degrees to each other.
What is wave guide?
A waveguide is a structure that guides waves, such as electromagnetic waves or sound waves. There are different types of waveguides for each type of wave.
What properties do light waves and waves in a fishpond share?
There are TWO THEORIES of light propagation, WAVE and PARTICLE. The WAVE theory shares commonality with waves in a Pond in that they are both represented by a SINE Wave. They each have an Amplitude and a Frequency.
How are the light waves of colours different from each other?
Each color has a different frequency and wavelength; with red having the longest wavelength and lowest frequency of all the visible colors & violet having the shortest wavelength and highest frequency of the colors humans can see.
