What else can I help you with?
Can light wave travel through air?
Yes, light waves can travel through air because air is a medium through which electromagnetic waves can propagate. Light travels at different speeds through different mediums, but it can definitely travel through air.
Is light an example of mechanical wave?
No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which can travel through a vacuum. Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, and cannot travel through a vacuum.
Is a Red light a longitudinal wave?
No, a red light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which is a transverse wave. It does not require a medium to propagate and oscillates perpendicular to the direction of its travel. Longitudinal waves, on the other hand, oscillate parallel to the direction of travel.
What kind of wave is light considered?
Light a general term for a specific range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, is not strictly just a wave, it shows particle and wave like properties, hence it being able to travel in a vacuum without a medium. However as a wave light is considered to be a transverse wave.
What is light classiified as when electrical and magnetic fields vibrate in a light wave?
Light is classified as an electromagnetic wave when electrical and magnetic fields vibrate in a light wave. This type of wave does not require a medium to propagate and can travel through empty space.
What type of wave does light travel as?
A sonic wave.
What kind of wave does light travel as?
Light is an electromagnetic wave.
Light wave travel faster than gamma wave?
No, they travel at the same speed
How does the light travel in the air?
As an electromagnetic wave.
Can light wave travel through air?
Yes, light waves can travel through air because air is a medium through which electromagnetic waves can propagate. Light travels at different speeds through different mediums, but it can definitely travel through air.
Is light an example of mechanical wave?
No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which can travel through a vacuum. Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, and cannot travel through a vacuum.
What does light travel in?
The simplest answer is that light consists of particles with wave properties. Elementary particles also have wave properties. This is how light travels.
Does light travel through a transparent wave?
Yes!!
Can a wave travel faster than the speed of light?
No
Why transverse wave cannot travel through air or gas?
A transverse wave of light can travel through air or gas.
What law explains dual nature of light?
The wave-particle duality theory. This explains why sometimes light appears to travel as a wave, and why sometimes it appears to travel as a particle.
Is a Red light a longitudinal wave?
No, a red light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which is a transverse wave. It does not require a medium to propagate and oscillates perpendicular to the direction of its travel. Longitudinal waves, on the other hand, oscillate parallel to the direction of travel.
