Four properties of light?
one of the properties of light is that light travel at straight line
What are the wave properties of light?

When electromagnetic waves are moving through matter the speed of electromagnetic waves depends on?
Velocity of light in a medium depends on the electric and magnetic properties of that medium, namely permittivity, and permeability.
The interaction of light beams with a surface is called?
The interaction of light beams with a surface is called regular reflection when the light beams reflect off all points of the surface at the same angle. When the light beams hit the surface and reflect off in different angles it is called diffuse reflection.
Is light an example of matter?
No, light is not an example of matter. It is an example of electromagnetic waves. However, it is considered that light is composed of photons (massless particles) and it is applied to it some theories of matter.
What branch of physics deals with light and the interaction of light with matter?
You're asking about two different branches of physics. Optics is the study of light. The interaction of light with matter is more properly Solid State Physics.
What interaction of light with matter cause light to change?
Reflection, refraction, absorption.
An interaction of light with matter that causes light to change direction?
Reflection or refraction.
What is the word that means an interaction of light with matter that causes light to change direction?
Refraction.
What does optical image mean?
optics deals with the behavior of light and optical deals with sight and the interaction of visible light
What are the properties of polyurethane?
The properties of polyurethane are resistance to explosive decompression and interaction with light. Polyurethane is also durable and makes a good insulator.
What are three defiencies of the wave model of light related to light's interaction with matter?
kayskyblu122=aim hit meh uhp!!! .o_O.
Which properties of light defines light as a particle?
Light has matter E= mc2 = hc/r thus m=h/cr.
How matter and energy interaction take light and turn it into glucose?
cookies are powerful they fall from the sun mixing with light creating glucose true story
An interaction of light with matter that causes light to change energy or motion?
um the bulb changes the heat and the motion is forced ou
What is the mechanism interaction that makes light slower in glass?
The speed of light in any substance is determined by the electrical properties of that substance, specifically the electrostatic permittivity and magnetic permeability of the substance. That's the only 'mechanism' it takes.
What is the discontinuity of matter?
Matter is discontinous and broken. It is composed of tiny discrete particles called atoms. These atoms are held together by strong attractive forces called bonds--this is what gives matter its appearance of continuity. This is the foundation for the dual nature of light. Just as Louis DeBroglie explains...matters such as base ball and soccer ball are two big to exhibit wavelike properties that's why their particulate properties are observed. And, particles such as elctrons, light, and energy are too small to exhibit particulate properties that's why their wavelike properties are observed. Hence: light, energy and electrons are all kinds of matter. Gideon Ifianayi Professor of Chemistry
