   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.

   • 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 ...

   Wave properties of light. Light is energy whose wavelength is the distance traveled in order to complete one cycle. The frequency of light refers to the number of cycles in one second. Low-energy light has a long wavelength and a low frequency.

   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.

   Is light a wave?

   • This difficulty gets greatly magnified for the case of light. 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.

   What elements of light can be a wave?

   • Let's address a couple other elements of light as a wave. First, a medium is not needed, as electric and magnetic field can exist in a vacuum. The presence of a medium (such as air or water) does effect the electric and magnetic fields, because media are made up of atoms, which are composed of positive and negative electric charges.

   Does light obey the wave equation?

   • Both sound and light are wave phenomena and thus can be presumed to obey the wave equation we previously derived or at least one similar to it1. However, the connection between light and the propagating degrees of freedom responsible for its properties is not as clear as the connection between sound and pressure waves.
