    S4-5)PS4.A: Wave PropertiesThe wavelength and frequency of a wave are related to one another by the speed of travel of the wave, which depends on the type of wave and the medium. through wh. Information can be digitized (e.g., a picture stored as the values of an array of pixels); in this form, it can be stored.

    Light is absorbed (propagation is stopped) Medium is opaque. If light wave frequency ≠ molecules resonant frequency. Light is reradiated and propagated forward through medium. Medium is transparent. In a solid or liquid, propagation is in straight line. In a gas, propagation is less organized and scatter increases.

    • To Summarise

    These different colours of light have different wavelengths and frequencies. Red light has the longest wavelength, and the lowest frequency of the visible spectrum. Violet has the shortest wavelength, and the highest frequency of the visible spectrum.

    Mixing coloured materials, such as paint, is an example of subtractive colour mixing. Red paint appears red to us because when white light strikes it, the red pigments reflect the red wavelengths of light and absorball of the wavelengths. This reflected light is what is seen by our eyes. The same is true for all of the other colours. So what about ...

    makes a shadow, but light does bend around obstacles. The bending of light around edges or around small slits is called diffraction and makes patterns of bands or fringes. All light can be traced to certain energy sources, like the Sun, an electric bulb, or a match, but most of what hits the eye is reflected light. When light strikes some ...

    ight and Optics:We just learned that light is a wave (an "electromagnetic wave", with very s. all wavelength).But in many cases, you can safely ignore the wave. nature of light!Light was studied for a long time (obviously), long before Maxwell, and very. well understood. People thought about light as sort of like a stream of "particles" that ...

    Electromagnetic waves are distinguished from each other by their differences in wavelengths and frequencies (wavelength is inversely related to frequency). c=fλ c = speed of light = 3.0 x 10 8 m/s in a vacuum = 300,000 km/s = 186,000 miles/s. A light year is the distance that light travels in one year in a vacuum.
