The properties of light as an electromagnetic wave.
Light is a transverse electromagnetic wave consisting of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. It exhibits wave-particle duality.
This unit covers the electromagnetic spectrum, the universal speed of light constant, wave polarization filters, and the quantum particle nature of photons.
Light behaves as a continuous wave when propagating (diffraction, interference) and as quantized packets of energy called photons when interacting with matter (photoelectric effect).
•Photon energy: E = h * f, where h is Planck's constant.
•Wavelength is inversely proportional to photon energy.
The continuum of all electromagnetic wave frequencies.
•Visible light represents a tiny band between 400 nm (violet) and 700 nm (red).
•Shorter wavelengths (UV, X-rays, Gamma) carry higher energy and are ionizing.
Energy of a photon (E) equals Planck's constant (h = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s) multiplied by frequency (f).
In vacuum, light speed (c) is constant at 299,792,458 m/s, equal to frequency times wavelength.

Step-by-step Solution:
Unpolarized light vibrates in all directions perpendicular to the direction of travel. Polarization occurs when light passes through a filter (polaroid sheet) that absorbs all oscillations except those along a single alignment axis, outputting linearly polarized light.
