18. Which properties of light define light as a wave? (Points:5)

OpenStudy (rajat97):

the amplitude, wavelength , period , frequency and the speed define light as a wave i dont know much about this

OpenStudy (ryjhbl):

Light exhibits certain behaviors that are characteristic of any wave and would be difficult to explain with a purely particle-view. Light reflects in the same manner that any wave would reflect. Light refracts in the same manner that any wave would refract. Light diffracts in the same manner that any wave would diffract. Light undergoes interference in the same manner that any wave would interfere. And light exhibits the Doppler effect just as any wave would exhibit the Doppler effect. Light behaves in a way that is consistent with our conceptual and mathematical understanding of waves. Since light behaves like a wave, one would have good reason to believe that it might be a wave . for more reading http://www.physicsclassroom.com/CLASS/light/u12l1a.cfm
