  • The nature of light is a different theories were proposed the behaivour of light
  • stream of particles are called corposcles
  • Newtoon believed that light behaves like a particles
  • christian huggens proposed that light behaves like a wave
  • Max planck proposed a theory know as Dual-nature of light
  • Light behaves both as a wave and as a particle
  • light travels in a straight path
  • Shadows are formed when an object blocks the path of light
  • Luminous have their own source of light
  • Luminous can be natural light or artificial light
  • Nonluminous is an object that only reflect light from a light source for it to be seen
  • Transmission of light occurs light wave passes through bounces off or absorbs by object
  • Opaque is an object that do not allow light to pass through, But absorbs it instead
  • Translucent is an object that allow light to pass through them partially
  • Transparent is an object that allow light to pass through them completely
  • Brightness of light is called intensity
  • brightness of light is dependent on the source and distance from the source
  • The nature of light as a particles explains why intensity changes with distance
  • Photons are the particles of light
  • photons are closer at the light source
