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. 1.2: The Law of Reflection

- 1: The Nature of Light
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.

1: The Nature of Light. 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.
Understanding the Nature of Light. as ordinary people, for thousands of years. The light seemed something ordinary and at the s. me time something very mysterious, magical. According to today's criteria, a truly scienti c approach to the nature of light was initiated about 350 years ago by two great scholars - the Englishman Isaa.
INTRODUCTION. ght and quanta. Hoffmann’s amusing and in-formative account—involving in part the wave-particle twins “tweedledum” and “tweedledee”—captured nicely the level of frustration felt in those days about the true . ature of light. And today, some 60 years later, the puzzle of tweedledum and tweedledee linger. .What is light? W.
Our investigation of light revolves around two questions of fundamental importance: What is the nature of light, and; how does light behave under various circumstances? Answers to these questions can be found in Maxwell’s equations, which predict the existence of electromagnetic waves and their behavior. Examples of light include radio and ...
