The wave theory of light is the representation of light as an electromagnetic wave. In this theory, light is represented as a spectrum of frequencies, some of which we can see ( visible light) and some of which we can't ( ultraviolet and infrared light).

Wave modelThe wave model of the atom uses the basic idea of the Bohr model of the atom, where there is a small, dense nucleus surrounded by electrons, but the electrons are represented by a probability distribution, instead of by discrete mathematical points. Thus,	WavelengthThe wavelength is the distance between repeating units of a wave pattern. It is commonly designated by the greek letter lambda (λ). In a sine wave, the wavelength is the distance between peaks: The x axis represents distance, and I would be some va	Wave-particle dualityIn physics, wave-particle duality holds that light and matter simultaneously exhibit properties of waves and of particles (or photons). This concept is a consequence of quantum mechanics. Fresnel, Maxwell, and Young In the early 1800s, the double-slit exp
WaveA wave is a disturbance that propagates. Apart from electromagnetic radiation, and probably gravitational radiation, which can travel through vacuum, waves exist in a medium (which on deformation is capable of producing elastic restoring forces) through w	Wave equationPartial differential equations The wave equation is an important partial differential equation which generally describes all kinds of waves, such as sound waves, light waves and water waves. It arises in many different fields, such as acoustics, electroma	WaveguideIn telecommunication, a waveguide is a material medium that confines and guides a propagating electromagnetic wave. In the microwave regime, a waveguide normally consists of a hollow metallic conductor, usually rectangular, elliptical, or circular in cros
