The ray model of light describes the path of light as straight lines. The part of optics dealing with the ray aspect of light is called geometric optics. Light can travel in three ways from a source to another location: (1) directly from the source through empty space; (2) through various media; and (3) after being reflected from a mirror.

Summary. Light is a transverse, electromagnetic wave that can be seen by the typical human. The wave nature of light was first illustrated through experiments on diffraction and interference. Like all electromagnetic waves, light can travel through a vacuum. The transverse nature of light can be demonstrated through polarization.

In this chapter, we study the basic properties of light. In the next few chapters, we investigate the behavior of light when it interacts with optical devices such as mirrors, lenses, and apertures.
21 Οκτ 2024 · What is light in physics? What is the speed of light? What is a rainbow? Why is light important for life on Earth? What is colour's relation to light? light, electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the human eye.
Explain the basic behavior of waves, including traveling waves and standing waves. Describe the wave nature of light. Use appropriate equations to calculate related light-wave properties such as period, frequency, wavelength, and energy.
As we saw in the general introduction to the series of SparkNotes on Optics, the question of the nature of light is the foremost problem in optics. In order to best understand this problem, we must first familiarize ourselves with the concept of a wave and how it behaves.
