Light: Electromagnetic Waves
Light is a form of energy that propagates through space without the need for a material medium. It consists of electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation.
Key Features of Light
- It does not need a material medium for propagation.
- Electric (E) and magnetic (B) fields vary sinusoidally with position (x) and time (t).
- It is caused by accelerating electric charges, which lose energy that propagates as electromagnetic waves.
