Nature of Light
Light is understood as a self-sustaining combination of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, traveling at the speed of light. These fields are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of wave propagation, illustrating the intricate relationship described by Maxwell's equations. Importantly, electromagnetic radiation is fundamentally energy, not a material substance, allowing it to traverse various mediums depending on its frequency.In this clip
