Particle wave Duality

• a material through which a wave travels

• the wave part of light, two transverse waves perpendicular to eachother, one in an electric field, one in a magnetic field 

• a single wave that travels through its medium

• light behavior can be modeled/thought of as both particles as well as waves, both are needed to describe how light behaves

Color addition

• a single wave that travels through its medium 

• the combining of different primary colors of light to make many different colors of light like in TVs or phone screens 

• waves that require a medium to travel through, sound and water waves are examples

• the passing of a wave from one medium that it can travel through to another that it can travel through, without complete absorption, can occur partially with reflection and absorption. 

Electromagnetic wave

• the passing of a wave from one medium that it can travel through to another that it can travel through, without complete absorption, can occur partially with reflection and absorption.

• light behavior can be modeled/thought of as both particles as well as waves, both are needed to describe how light behaves

• the wave part of light, two transverse waves perpendicular to eachother, one in an electric field, one in a magnetic field 

• the conversion of some or all of a waves energy into other forms of energy.

Mechanical Wave

• waves that require a medium to travel through, sound and water waves are examples

• a single wave that travels through its medium

• Repeating waves at a regular internal of time

• the generation of a wave that bounces off the boundary between two mediums and travels back into the first medium, can occur partially with transmission

Medium
