Answer:
7 properties of Light :
- Light is an electromagnetic wave.
- Light travels in a straight line.
- Light is a transverse wave and does not need a medium to travel. Light can travel through a vacuum. Its speed in vacuum is 3 × 10⁸ m/s.
- The speed of light changes as it moves from one medium to another.
- The wavelength (λ) of light changes when passing from one medium to another.
- The frequency (f) of a light wave remains the same in all media.
- Light is reflected back from polished surfaces such as mirrors, polished metal surfaces, etc.
Three more properties of light:
- Light undergoes refraction (bending) as it travels from one transparent medium to another.
- Light does not need a material medium to travel, that is, it can also travel through a vacuum. Scientists have given the speed of light in a vacuum as 299, 792, 458 m/s.
- According to current scientific theories, no particle of matter can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.
