Why is the light moving throuh space like a wave ? Is there any article that says WHY ?
Still no WHY.Arman777 said:
Light acts wavelike because it is a wave. If you look at Maxwell's equations for the behavior of electrical and magnetic fields, one of the solutions is electromagnetic waves propagating through space - and these waves are the thing that we call light.Mevludin Licina said:Why is the light moving throuh space like a wave ?

Light is an electromagnetic wave that is propagated through space and carries energy. It is also referred to as a particle or a photon due to its dual nature.
Light is considered to be a wave because it displays all the characteristics of a wave, such as wavelength, frequency, and interference patterns. It can also be diffracted and polarized, which are properties of waves.
Light behaves like a wave because it can be described by the wave equation and exhibits properties such as interference and diffraction. It also has a characteristic frequency and wavelength, just like other types of waves.
Light exhibits wavelike behavior due to its electromagnetic nature. This means that light is made up of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of the wave's propagation.
Yes, light is always wavelike in nature. However, it can also exhibit particle-like behavior in certain situations, such as the photoelectric effect. This is known as the wave-particle duality of light.
