Q

mnemonics

A

23
Q

The energy carried by an electromagnetic wave is proportional to the frequency of the wave. The wavelength and frequency of the wave are connected via the speed of light; this relationship is summarized by the wave equation:

A

Wave Equation

24
Q

Maxwell theorized in 1865 that an electromagnetic disturbance must happen in vacuum such that its speed is equivalent to the speed of light.

A

true
Light as an Electromagnetic Wave

25
By using the Four Equations, he was able to establish the electromagnetic nature of light.

PROPERTIES OF LIGHT
1) Light travels in straight line. 2) Light travels faster than sound 3) We see things because it reflects into our eyes. 4) Shadows are formed when light is blocked by an object. 5) When light is incident upon an object some are absorbed and some are reflected.
