Physics

4 0

Answer: Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation because it has the ability to travel from one type of medium to another and can also carry some energy along with it. A light wave has two components, namely the electric field component as well as the magnetic field component that are both perpendicular to the propagating direction.

The visible light lies between the ultraviolet and the infrared lights, with wavelength from 400 nm to 700 nm respectively. This is collectively known as the visible spectrum of light.

Latent heat of fusion is associated with freezing a liquid or melting a solid.

<span>"Time is like wax, dripping from a candle flame. In the moment, it is molten and falling, with the capability to transform into any shape. Then the moment passes, and the wax hits the table top and solidifies into the shape it will always be. It becomes the past, a solid single record of what happened, still holding in its wild curves and contours the potential of every shape it could have held."</span>
