PPT-Light Waves What is light?

Light Light Properties and Interactions What is Light Light is a form of energy emitted by the Sun   What is Light Light is a type of energy that travels as an electromagnetic wave. Students . will explore the wave nature of sound and electromagnetic radiation. . Identify . the characteristics of electromagnetic and . mechanical waves. . . b. Describe how the behavior of light waves . Junior Science. Waves transfer energy. 1a. Waves are a means of transferring energy from one place to another without also transferring matter. Some waves need a medium (matter) to travel through and are known as . Learning Objectives. Know why light is said to travel in waves.. Know what polarisation is.. Know how diffraction patterns occur.. Success criteria. Explain how experiments show that light travels in waves. . What is it and how does it work. a. type of electromagnetic radiation of a specific wavelength. Some of these wavelengths we can see (visible light) . Some wavelengths we cannot see (x-rays, infrared, ultraviolet). Dennis Stewart. November. Smu. Modern Physics. 1. Outline for this talk. Einstein . Einsteins Contribution. Joseph Weber. LIGO.

Section 1. Objectives. 1. Explain the relationship among waves, energy, and matter. 2. Describe the difference between transverse waves and compressional waves. A. Waves Carry Energy. Waves (rhythmic disturbances that carry energy without carrying matter) can carry energy by itself or with matter. Please pick up second midterm from the front of the class if you have not already…. Note: . Teacher evaluation period has begun. Please check your email for instructions from Hunter. . Light: preliminaries. Mechanical Waves. A mechanical wave is created when a source of energy causes a vibration to travel through a medium.. A mechanical wave is a disturbance in matter that carries energy from one place to another.. LIGHT WAVES HIT THE LIGHT DETECTORNormally the light returns unchanged to the beam splitter from both arms and the light waves cancel each other outIf the arms are disturbed by a will have travelled d
