What is the wave aspect of light?
Light has the usual attributes of waves, namely frequency, wavelength and speed. The speed of light (c) in a vacuum has been measured at 3.00 x 108 ms–1 . In any material other than vacuum light travels at a speed less than c.
What is light wave interference?
Interference of light is the phenomena of multiple light waves interacting with one another under certain circumstances, causing the combined amplitudes of the waves to either increase or decrease.
What aspect of light is affected by wavelength?
Light can also be associated with energy, and there also is a simple relationship of energy and wavelength. The longer the wavelength, the less the energy, and vice versa. Visible light is less energetic than, say, ultraviolet light or X-rays, and more energetic than infrared radiation or radio waves.
What are the 3 light waves interaction?
The types of interactions are reflection, refraction, and diffraction. An echo is an example of wave reflection. Refraction is when waves bend as they enter a new medium at an angle. Diffraction occurs when waves spread out as they travel through an opening in an obstacle.
