- Light is a transverse, electromagnetic wave that can be seen by the typical human.

Light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the eye. It travels as a transverse wave. Unlike a sound waves, light waves do not need a medium to pass through, they can...
May 24, 2024 · We know that light is a wave based on how it behaves – it exhibits the same properties of other waves we have examined – it interferes with itself, it follows an inverse-square law for intensity (brightness), and so on.
Light has dual nature , it is considered as a particle nature and as well as wave nature …. Some phenomenon of light is explained by its particle nature ,e.g reflection, refraction and some by its wave nature, e.g diffraction, polarization etc…

- Has Light Been Seen as Both?
Physicists debated for years whether light was a particle or wave. Isaac Newtonhad argued that light was composed of particles, yet other prominent scientists at the time argued that light was a wave. In 1801, physicist Thomas Young performed the double-slit experiment to determine whether or not light was a particle or wave. The double-slit experi...
Although most scientists had concluded that light was a wave and not a particle after the double-slit experiment, the story was not yet over. In the early 20th century, our understanding of the universe experienced one of its largest shifts in history due to the discovery of quantum mechanics. An entirely new area of physics opened up, and new theo...
The wave-particle duality of light is one of the strangest things about our universe. Although light has been seen as both particle and wave, it has never been seen as both at the same time. Every experiment devised to try and see both has resulted in one or the other. No matter how hard scientists try, light will simply change its behaviour from w...
Light exhibits certain behaviors that are characteristic of any wave and would be difficult to explain with a purely particle-view. Light reflects in the same manner that any wave would reflect. Light refracts in the same manner that any wave would refract.
A. A light wave is a type of electromagnetic wave that is visible to the human eye. It is responsible for sight and its properties and behaviour govern our understanding of colours and visual perception. B. A light wave is a neural wave that is transmitted through neurons in the human brain.

Using a light source that emits a single wavelength of light (known as monochromatic, as it only has one wavelength of light present), the presence of interference fringes (patterns of dark and light spots) can be used to determine the flatness of a gap between two surfaces.
