Study Notes

Light and Electromagnetic Radiation

Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation.
Electromagnetic radiation is a type of wave.
Waves are a way energy is transferred through a medium.

Mediums

A medium is the substance or material through which a wave travels.
Examples include air, water, solids, and vacuum.
The properties of the medium influence the wave's behavior.
The speed of sound varies significantly depending on the medium (e.g., air to water).
Different wave types (e.g., sound, light, electromagnetic waves) interact with different mediums in different ways.
