Why is light called electromagnetic radiation?
Light is known as electromagnetic radiation because it has two complementary components which were found to be a magnetic field wave in synchronous motion with an electric field wave.
What two properties of light confirm that light is wave?
Polarization and Interference confirm light is a wave.
What are two things that determine the color of a light wave?
the two things that determine the color of a light wave are its wavelength and the material it reflects from.
What are two ways that light moves?
A particle & a wave
What is the propagating wave in space with electric and magnetic components?
That is called an electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves include visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma rays, and radio waves. If both the electric and the magnetic components are standstill (do not move) there will be no propagating waves. The wave will be created if either the electric or the magnetic moves or disturbed. The electromagnetic wave will spread out everywhere on the plane with a frequency perpendicular to its direction. In vacuum, the wave travels at the speed of light. In other mediums, the speed will be less than the speed of light. The wave will spread out uniformly an all direction if the density if the medium in uniform.
What are the two components of a wave of light?
Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel (light, radio).
Light wave is composed of two components an electrical component and a component?
the answer is: magnetic...magnetic and electrical

What is the disappearance of a sound wave or a light ray into a surface?
components
What are two essential components of a modulated wave?
amplitudefrequencyphase
What two properties of light confirm that light is wave?

What the two natures of light?
Light has two natures that can be thought of as both a wave and a particle.

What are two things that light gets classified as?
particle and wave
What are two different ways light can travel?
As a particle or as a wave.
