What else can I help you with?
What kind of wave has matter at right angles to direction wave travels?
Transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. Examples include light and electromagnetic waves.
What properties of light cannot be described by using the wave model of light?
The particle nature of light, as described by the photon theory, cannot be fully explained by the wave model of light. The wave model also cannot account for certain phenomena such as the photoelectric effect and the behavior of light in very small scales, which require a particle-like description of light.
What type of wave is a light wave an example of?
Light is an example of a electromagnetic wave.
Is light an electromagnetic wave?
Yes, light is an electromagnetic wave.
A light waves brightness depends on the?
A light wave's brightness depends on its amplitude, which determines the intensity of the wave. The greater the amplitude, the brighter the light wave will appear.

What type of wave does light travel as?
A sonic wave.
Does a laser make use of the wave nature of light or the particle nature of light or both?
Lasers don't really "make use" of either the wave or particle nature of light. Or they make use of both. But because a laser emits what is called coherent light, it could be argued that the wave nature of light is best at describing the light the laser emits.Lasers make use of Boltzmann energy distribution statistics, which doesn't have anything to do with the particle or wave description of light. Lasers work by creating a population inversion in a chemical compound which creates stimulated emission when excited.Light has both wave-like and particle-like properties at the same time. It is said to exhibit particle-wave duality. Light is what it is -- the fact that we describe it using both a particle and a wave description is only a reflection of our inability to fully describe light in using one single intuitive model (because we have no intuitive experience with things that have both wave and particle properties simultaneously).
What kind of wave does light have?
I would rather say that light IS a wave, not that it HAS a wave. It is a type of electromagnetic wave.
Light travels as a longitudal wave?
No, light is a transverse wave.No, light is a transverse wave.No, light is a transverse wave.No, light is a transverse wave.
Which of the following describes light as a wave?
Light is a transverse wave
What kind of wave does light travel as?
Light is an electromagnetic wave.
Is the light wave electromagnetic or no?
The light wave is electromagnetic yes.
Is light an electromagnetic wave?
Yes, light is an electromagnetic wave.

A light wave's brightness depends on its amplitude, which determines the intensity of the wave. The greater the amplitude, the brighter the light wave will appear.
