wave theory of light
The wave theory of light is an explanation that states that light is a form of electromagnetic waves that propagates through space, characterized by specific properties such as wavelength, frequency, and amplitude. According to this theory, light can exhibit phenomena such as interference and diffraction, similar to other types of waves.
