What does the frequency of a light wave tell you?
The frequency of a light wave determines its color. Refer to the electromagnetic spectrum to see the exact wavelengths of certain waves and what their colors would be.
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.
What describes light travelling as wave?
a wave model of light.
What is exactly that travel in a light waves?
Light. Note that light is a special case of electromagnetic waves; but if it isn't visible light, you wouldn't call it a "light wave", just an "electromagnetic wave".
What does the frequency of a light wave tell you?
The frequency of a light wave determines its color. Refer to the electromagnetic spectrum to see the exact wavelengths of certain waves and what their colors would be.
How does the eye perceive different wave lengths?
as different colors
How does color work?
Humans perceive different wave lengths of light as different colors. Objects are struck by all the colors.If all the colors are reflected off the object, it is perceived as a white object.If all the light gets absorbed by the object and none is reflected, Then the object is perceived as black.If the object is blue, only the blue light will be reflected and all other wave lengths will be absorbed by the object. The eye would then perceive the object as blue.That is why black clothing can sometimes be hot to wear.
What type of wave does light travel as?
A sonic wave.
What is related to the amplitude of sound?
The amplitude of a sound wave is what we perceive as volume. It is the amount of energy "carried" within each period of the wave.
How high or low you perceive a sound to be depending on the frequency of the sound wave is defined as the?
Pitch
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.
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.
How do you refer to a wave?
By it's frequency
Which characteristic of sound is associated with frequency?
We perceive the loudness of a sound wave as a consequence of its amplitude. The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch we perceive.
What is the wave model of light?
its a light behaviour that represents light travelling as a wave
