Firework Neon light Aurora borealis
All these events related to the generation of light and its transmission through space
WAVE NATURE OF LIGHT
• Light travel through space as a wave.
• Study of light emitted or absorbed by
substances has led to the understanding
of the electronic structure of atoms
• Characteristics of light →All waves
have a characteristic wavelength, λ, and
amplitude, A.
• Wavelength (λ) is the distance between
