   Nov 14, 2024 · In its simplest form, quantum theory describes light as consisting of discrete packets of energy, called photons. However, neither a classical wave model nor a classical particle model correctly describes light; light has a dual nature that is revealed only in quantum mechanics.

   In many cases, the properties of light can be explained as a wave, as was shown in Young’s double-slit experiment. Discuss how wave motion arises and its measurable properties, noting the conclusions of Young’s double slit experiment. Wave motion arises when a periodic disturbance of some kind is propagated through an elastic medium.

   What are the properties of light waves?

   • Light has the properties of waves. Like ocean waves, light waves have crests and troughs. The distance between one crest and the next, which is the same as the distance between one trough and the next, is called the wavelength. The frequency of a wave is the number of crests (or troughs) that pass a point in one second.

   Who formulated the wave theory of light?

   • In his Traité de la Lumière (1690; “Treatise on Light”), the Dutch mathematician-astronomer Christiaan Huygens formulated the first detailed wave theory of light, in the context of which he was also able to derive the laws of reflection and refraction. The most prominent advocate of a particle theory of light was Isaac Newton.

   What are the three measurable properties of wave motion?

   • There are three measurable properties of wave motion: amplitude, wavelength, and frequency. A definitive experiment was Young’s double slit experiment, which demonstrated that light shined at two slits in a screen show an interference pattern characteristic of waves of light, rather than particles.

   What is the wavelength of visible light?

   • Visible light, which is electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the human eye, has wavelengths between about 7 × 10 −7 m (700 nm, or 4.3 × 10 14 Hz) and 4 × 10 −7 m (400 nm, or 7.5 × 10 14 Hz). Note that when frequency increases, wavelength decreases; c being a constant stays the same.

   Jul 27, 2023 · Light is called electromagnetic radiation, which basically means that it radiates (travels) and the wave part is oscillating electric and magnetic fields. You don't need to worry about the details of this now. The properties of different types of light depend on their wavelength.
