What are the characteristics of light waves?

Answer 1

AnswerIntensity How bright the light is. This is obviously of great importance when you're trying to make sure your scene will meter properly, but it's also significant from a design point of view: highly intense lights are much more attention-getting than dim ones, obviously, and you can use this to direct your viewers. Quality Whether the light is "hard" (sharp shadows) or "soft" (diffuse). Volumetric behavior, like beams of light through fog and haze, is also an aspect of quality. Direction Where is the source of the light in relation to the object it's lighting? Is it coming from the front, the side, from behind? Color This one's more subtle than you think. Is the light in your home white? If so, what about sunlight? Note that even sunlight varies greatly, from warm yellows all the way to clear blues. In addition to being red, green, or blue, we can think of light as varying from "warm" (reddish/orange/yellow) to "cool" (blue/white).

Answer 2

Newton proposed the particle theory of light to explain the bending of light upon reflection from a mirror or upon refraction when passing from air into water. In his view, light was a stream of particles emitted from a light source, entering the eye to stimulate sight. Newton's contemporary Christian Huygens showed that a wave theory of light could explain the laws of reflection and refraction. In the late 1800s, James Clerk Maxwell predicted, and then Gustav Ludwig Hertz verified, the existence of electromagnetic waves traveling at the speed of light. A complete conceptualization of the nature of light includes light as a particle, as a wave, and as electromagnetic radiation.

On a more concrete level, the properties of light include

*light travels in straight lines

*light can be reflected

*light can be bent (refracted)

*light is a form of energy

*light can be diffracted

*light shows interference.

Answer 3

Light waves, sound waves, X-rays and ocean waves are some examples of waves. All of them share three basic characteristics: wavelength, frequency and amplitude.
