Some properties are:
• Light travels in straight lines
• Light can be reflected
• Light can be bent
• Light is a form of Energy
Light does travel in straight lines at the level of classical physics. In true Universal strictness all motion is curved. Light not only can be reflected, but it can be absorbed so to speak. All light, which is classified as electromagnetic radiation, exerts forward impact pressure when it hits matter. Light can enter into matter causing atomic and molecular increased activity. This activity is usually in the infrared frequency, which we know as heat. This increase in activity is shown as electrons bumped up to higher levels of activity. The photon disappears, or hidden by being idle, almost mass-less. The matter will cool, and decrease its activity, and the electrons will drop back down a notch, and when this happens a photon will be now kicked out of the matter again as heat. If electrons are kicked loose within the matter it is called the photoelectric effect. This is only done with specific frequencies that sync in with the electrons.
It is my belief that light is not a form of energy. The basic definition of energy was for a long time and still is for some... "the ability of matter to do work as measured by work done." Max Planck, and especially Albert Einstein twisted this into mathematics and use the values of measurements, as entities. When light photons come from the Sun, it is their forward motion pressure that give us heat and visible light. Technically we don't see anything. Photons as different frequencies enter our eyes and hit the rod and cone cells that send EM signal to the brain to map out a picture for us. Actually blind children sometimes hit themselves in the eyes to "see" flashes that are sort of like a sighted person sees when rubbing our eyes. I will also mention that when we see a frequency of light that gives us a particular color, as from a red rose... it is the light reflected from the rose! The light we don't see is absorbed into the matter of the rose... and it is speculation as to what color the rose really is... If the rose is black... all the light was absorbed, and none reflected, and we are seeing the absence of light, or just not seeing, for that particular area.
I also want to mention here; that science has now measured the radiated particle called a neutrino, at a speed faster than the speed of light.
Back to the straight line trajectory... There is an extremely high probability that all the stars in the sky are not exactly in straight lines from where we view them. Most are many, many light years away, and gravitation is all inclusive to our Universe, thus bending space (probably) causing curvature of light coming to us.
What else can I help you with?
Scientific study of nature and properties of light called?
== == Study of Light & Nature of Light is called " OPTICS "
Do light and blood have the same properties?
Light and blood are very different substances with distinct properties. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that travels through space, while blood is a bodily fluid that carries nutrients, oxygen, and waste products throughout the body. Their properties and functions are not related.
Are isotopes different in terms of their chemical properties?
A difference of chemical properties is observed for light elements; for other elements these differences are extremely small.
Which properties of a substance contribute to its colour?
Color derives from the spectrum of light (distribution of light power versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the light receptors. Color categories and physical specifications of color are also associated with objects or materials based on their physical properties such as light absorption, reflection, or emission spectra.
What are three visible properties of minerals?
Three visible properties of minerals are color, luster (appearance of the surface in light), and crystal shape or habit.
What are the common properties and characteristic of light?
wheat are the common properties and characteristic of light
Four properties of light?
one of the properties of light is that light travel at straight line
Who discovered properties of light?
Sir W. Crookes discovered the Properties of Light in 1879.
Is a wave a properties of light?
Not exactly - light has wave properties. That means that it behaves like a wave.
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 all light the same, or are there differences in its properties and characteristics?
Light is not all the same; there are differences in its properties and characteristics.
Is light a wave, and if so, what are the properties and characteristics that define it as such?
Yes, light is a wave. It exhibits properties such as interference, diffraction, and polarization, which are characteristics of wave behavior. These properties help define light as a wave phenomenon.
The behavior and properties of light and the interaction of light with matter is?
optics

How is light a wave and what are its properties that make it behave like one?
Light is a wave because it exhibits properties such as interference, diffraction, and polarization. These properties show that light can exhibit wave-like behavior, such as bending around obstacles and combining to create patterns of light and dark.
Does light have energy and how is it related to its properties and behavior?
Yes, light does have energy. The energy of light is related to its properties and behavior through concepts such as wavelength, frequency, and intensity. These properties determine how light interacts with matter, such as being absorbed, reflected, or refracted. The behavior of light, such as its speed and direction, is also influenced by its energy.
