Light phenomena like reflection, refraction, and diffraction are associated with the nature of light, which can be described as both a wave and a particle. The Law of Reflection states that light is reflected at the same angle as the incident angle, with reflection and refraction occurring based on the velocity of light in different mediums.
Insights
- Light behaves as both a wave and a particle, with phenomena like reflection, refraction, and diffraction showcasing its dual nature.
- The Law of Reflection dictates that light reflects at the same angle as the incident angle, while polarization and interference further illustrate the complex behavior of light in different mediums and conditions.

Light: Wave-Particle Nature and Phenomena Explained
- Light phenomena like reflection, refraction, and diffraction are associated with the nature of light, which can be described as both a wave and a particle.
- Reflection of light involves light traveling in the form of a wave and can also be described as a particle, with reflection occurring on reflecting surfaces.
- The Law of Reflection states that light is reflected at the same angle as the incident angle, with reflection and refraction occurring based on the velocity of light in different mediums.
- The process of converting unpolarized light into polarized light is called polarization, where light vibrates in a specific direction.
- Interference of light involves constructive and destructive interference, resulting in dark and bright bands based on the phase difference and path lengths of interfering waves.
- Diffraction of light occurs when light passes through a slit, resulting in two types of diffraction patterns based on the size of the slit and the wavelength of light.
