the sun, light bulbs, and microwaves

. The light sources that StellarNet offers fall into three categories: lasers, lamps, and LEDs.

What are light properties?

The primary properties of visible light are

intensity, propagation-direction, frequency or wavelength spectrum and polarization

. … The absorbed energy of the electromagnetic waves is called a photon and represents the quanta of light.

Do light waves diffract?

Diffraction of light occurs when a

light wave

passes by a corner or through an opening or slit that is physically the approximate size of, or even smaller than that light’s wavelength. … The parallel lines are actually diffraction patterns.

What is light energy?

In fact visible ‘light’ is

a form of radiation

, which can be defined as an energy that travels in the form of electromagnetic waves. It can also be described as a flow of particle-like ‘wave-packets’, called photons, that travel constantly at the speed of light (about 300 000 kilometres per second).

How do you pick a light?

  1. Measure the length and width of the room in feet. Example: 10 feet by 12 feet.
