How is wave length of light determined?
To measure the wavlength of light or sound, you measure the distance from ther crest (hump) of the wave to the trough (dip) of the wave.
How do you measure a longitudinal wave?
The details depend on what type of wave you are talking about, and what exactly you want to measure about the wave.
What type of wave is a light wave an example of?
Light is an example of a electromagnetic wave.
What is the wave model of light?
its a light behaviour that represents light travelling as a wave
What describes light traveling as a wave?
a wave model of light.
How is wave length of light determined?
To measure the wavlength of light or sound, you measure the distance from ther crest (hump) of the wave to the trough (dip) of the wave.
If you create a wave that is opposite to the light wave can you remove the light?
Absolutely. Devices called interferometers are used to measure small distances in exactly that way.
How do you know the speed of light is correct since a light wave has no beginning or end it would seem impossible to measure?
Turn your flashlight on and off. The light wave begins and ends. The light wave from your flashlight will take 1 nanosecond to travel one foot from your flashlight.
What light property you can measure to estimate a light wave's temporal coherence and spatial coherence?
It is the phase, which can be measuerd with these type of coherence.
How do you measure a longitudinal wave?
The details depend on what type of wave you are talking about, and what exactly you want to measure about the wave.
What type of wave does light travel as?
A sonic wave.
How do you measure the speed of the wave?
To measure the speed of a wave, you multiply the frequency by the wavelength.
What kind of wave does light have?
I would rather say that light IS a wave, not that it HAS a wave. It is a type of electromagnetic wave.
The Doppler Effect is a phenomenon that allows one to measure an object's?
The doppler effect is the change in frequency of a wave for an observer moving relative to the source of the wave. You can measure the location and velocity of a locomotive moving towards or away from your. You can measure a star's location and velocity vector regarding the shift and color emanating from the star light. This is calculated via doppler light equations.
Light travels as a longitudal wave?
No, light is a transverse wave.No, light is a transverse wave.No, light is a transverse wave.No, light is a transverse wave.
What is the wave model of light?

What type of wave is a light wave an example of?
