    Light As A Form of Wave: (According To The Presence of Medium)

    Uploaded by

    Angelica Camilon
    The document discusses light as a wave, describing it as an electromagnetic wave that is transverse in nature, with its components vibrating perpendicular to the direction of propagation. It also references the wave-particle duality of light, which holds that light exhibits properties of both waves and particles. The document then lists some properties of light and defines optics as the branch of physics studying light and its interactions.

    LIGHT AS A FORM OF WAVE

    (According to the Presence of Medium)

    ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE

    MECHANICAL WAVE
    LIGHT AS A FORM OF WAVE
    (According to the Presence of Medium)

    ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE

    Light is composed of an oscillating electric and


    magnetic fields
    LIGHT AS A FORM OF WAVE
    (According to the Direction of Propagation)

    LONGITUDINAL WAVE

    TRANSVERSE WAVE
    LIGHT AS A FORM OF WAVE
    (According to the Direction of Propagation)

    TRANSVERSE WAVE

    Light is a transverse wave because its components


    vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation
    WAVE-PARTICLE DUALITY

    Holds the idea that light exhibit properties


    of both waves and of particles.
    VISIBLE LIGHT
    Refers to the visible region of the
    electromagnetic spectrum

    It lies between UV and infrared


    radiation.
    White light is nothing but colorless
    daylight.

    This contains all the wavelengths of


    the visible spectrum at equal intensity.
    Different Properties of Light
    1. Light travels very fast
    2. Light has a dual nature
    3. Light travels in straight lines
    4. Light can very in intensity
    5. Light is comprised of many colors
    6. Light interacts with matter
    7. Light carries energy and information
    Optics is the branch of physics that studies the
    behavior and properties of light, including its
    interactions with matter and the construction of
    instruments that use or detect it.
    LIGHT
    WHY IS THE SKY BLUE?
    SUNSET
    RAINBOW
    What comes to mind when you think of light?
    Brightness? Discovery? Knowledge? Hope? Joy?
    Light has many meanings.
