Light is a form of energy. Energy can be transported by waves. Use waves as a tool to understand light.

WAVE PARAMETERS Wavelength () is the length from crest to crest or trough to trough. Frequency (f) is the number of waves passing a point per second. Higher Frequency  Shorter Wavelength Lower Frequency  Longer Wavelength Speed of a wave (v) = Wavelength x Frequency

Light as a WAVE As a wave, Light can be described as having a Frequency Wavelength Speed Wave Speed = Wavelength x Frequency

What does a light wave look like? To answer this, must first know how light is produced. Start with an electron  has an electric field (example is static cling; or battery)has an electric field Also a moving electron produces a magnetic field.

Accelerate an electron and both electric and magnetic fields are produced  called an electromagnetic wave

The Nature of Light Light is an electromagnetic wave that travels at the speed of light Light is an electromagnetic wave that travels at the speed of light The speed of light is related to the wave’s frequency and wavelength The speed of light is related to the wave’s frequency and wavelength c = f = 300,000 km/sec (or 186,000 mi/sec)

As a wave, light may have any wavelength (and frequency), but its speed remains constant. As a wave, light may have any wavelength (and frequency), but its speed remains constant. An electromagnetic wave with a long wavelength has a low frequency and one with a short wavelength has a high frequency. An electromagnetic wave with a long wavelength has a low frequency and one with a short wavelength has a high frequency. Visible light is an electromagnetic wave Visible light is an electromagnetic wave that has wavelengths between 400 and 700 nanometers! (That is, 300 billionths to 700 billionths of a meter!)

When you have your teeth x-rayed, the dentist is shining an electromagnetic wave with a wavelength more than 1,000 times shorter than visible light When you listen to the radio, your radio is picking up electromagnetic waves almost a million times longer than visible light, or about 0.1 meters. The range wavelengths (or frequencies) of electromagnetic waves is called the electromagnetic spectrum.
