उत्तर
- Light is a form of energy.
- Light always travels along a straight line.
- Light does not need any medium for its propagation. It can even travel through a vacuum.
- The speed of light in a vacuum or air is c = 3 × 108 ms-1.
- Since light is in the form of waves, it is characterized by a wavelength (k) and a frequency (v), which are related by the following equation: c = v λ (c – velocity of light).
- Different coloured light has different wavelength and frequency.
- Among the visible light, violet light has the lowest wavelength and red light has the highest wavelength.
- When light is incident on the interface between two media, it is partly reflected and partly refracted.
