In weight it is means it is not heavy.

In physics it is electromagnetic radiation that can produce a visual sensation.

Is light a wave, and if so, what are the properties and characteristics that define it as such?

Yes, light is a wave. It exhibits properties such as interference, diffraction, and polarization, which are characteristics of wave behavior. These properties help define light as a wave phenomenon.


HOW DOES wavelength define light?

Wavelength defines light by determining its color and energy. Shorter wavelengths correspond to higher energy light such as ultraviolet and x-rays, while longer wavelengths correspond to lower energy light such as infrared and radio waves. The wavelength of light also influences how it interacts with different materials and objects.


Define reflection of light. state the laws of reflection.?

Reflection of light is the bouncing back of light rays off a surface. The laws of reflection are: 1) The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, and 2) The incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface all lie in the same plane.


Which properties of light defines light as a wave?

It can be reflected, refracted and polarised. It also shows the phenomenon of interference. (Young's double slit experiment) The above are the properties of waves. Light shows these properties and thus, this defines light as a wave.


What kind of energy enables us to see?

Light, for humans "visible light" which is a form of electromagnetic radiation with a relatively wide range of wavelengths. The absorption or reflection of the various wavelengths of light by objects are what define their color.
