Light waves are formed through the vibration of electric and magnetic fields, creating electromagnetic radiation. This radiation travels in waves, moving in a straight line until it interacts with something, such as matter or other waves. The frequency and wavelength of these waves determine their characteristics, such as color and energy.

How is light formed and what are the factors that contribute to its creation?

Light is formed when energy is released in the form of electromagnetic waves. Factors that contribute to the creation of light include the movement of electrons within atoms, temperature, and the type of material emitting the light.


Difference between interference and differaction frige?

Interference fringes are formed when two or more coherent light waves overlap and produce alternating light and dark bands due to constructive and destructive interference. Diffraction fringes, on the other hand, are formed when light waves encounter an obstruction or aperture, causing them to bend and interfere with each other, resulting in a pattern of alternating light and dark regions. In essence, interference fringes arise from the superposition of multiple light waves, while diffraction fringes result from the bending of light waves around obstacles.


What are 2 examples of waves you can see?

Two examples of waves you can see are ocean waves, which are formed by wind blowing over the surface of the water, and light waves, which allow us to see objects by reflecting off them into our eyes.


The intensity of light waves is a measure of what?

The intensity of light waves is a measure of the energy carried by the waves. It is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the waves. The intensity of light waves determines how bright the light appears to us.


What are strong light waves?

Strong light waves refer to light waves that have a high intensity or brightness. These waves have a higher amplitude and carry more energy compared to weaker light waves. Strong light waves can be produced by sources such as the sun, lasers, or powerful light bulbs.

Why shadow is formed behind you when the sun shines?

The sun emits light waves, these light waves hit you and are reflected away (and also absorbed) from their destination, which would have been the objects behind you.

Is shawdow formed in a straight line?

If its light from the sun, yes, its vast distance from us means the light waves are essentially parallel

How is surf formed?

A surf is formed when the waves get to high and cause waves to "break."

How are ultraviolet waves different from light waves?

Ultraviolet waves are smaller than light waves.


Are sound waves stronger than light waves?

No because light waves are stronger and brighter and sound waves are light and dull


What is a laser formed out of?

It is formed of electromagnetic radiation - light, with only one wavelength, (one colour); highly directional and focused, that is, the rays of the light of a laser don't disperse much; and all the waves are moving in sinchrony, in phase.


Do all light waves emit radiation?

Light waves do not emit radiation, light waves are radiation.
