What two waves can light be described as?
Light can be described as both an electromagnetic wave and a transverse wave. Its behavior can be explained by both wave theories.
A series of evenly timed pulses create a wave that can be described as a what kind of wave?
A periodic wave.
Why is light considered a wave?
Light is considered a wave because it exhibits properties of a wave, such as interference and diffraction, and can be described using wave equations.
What trait wave is described by its wavelength?
The distance from one wave peak to the next wave peak
What is the distance between a wavelength and a wave dependent on?
The distance between a wavelength and a wave is dependent on the speed of the wave and the frequency of the wave. This relationship is described by the equation: wavelength = speed of the wave / frequency.

Which type of wave is described as a wave that is not confined to the space along the medium?
Traveling wave
Which type of wave is described as a wave that is not confined to the spaces along the medium?
Traveling wave
What are way's a wave can be described?
Butt
How can a traveling wave be described mathematically?
A harmonic may be described by a sine function graphically, and the components of a wave (amplitude, frequency etc...) may be described by their corresponding physics formulas.

Is an electromagnetic a compresinal wave?
No, an electromagnetic wave is NOT a compressional wave. An electromagnetic wave is best described as a transverse wave. Remember that in a compressional wave, the energy moves parallel to the medium of the wave, while in a transverse wave, the energy moves perpendicular to the medium.
Why do lights sometimes described as a wave and sometimes as a particle?
Light exhibits both wave-like and particle-like behavior depending on the experimental setup. In the wave theory of light, it is described as an electromagnetic wave with properties like interference and diffraction. In the particle theory of light, it is described as a stream of particles known as photons that exhibit properties of both particles and waves. This duality is captured in the wave-particle duality principle in quantum mechanics.
