Dual Nature of Light
Light, contrary to its apparent simplicity, exhibits a dual nature,
behaving both as a wave and a particle. The wave nature is
characterized by its ability to undergo interference and diffraction,
while the particle nature manifests in discrete packets called
photons. This duality, elucidated by the field of quantum
mechanics, paved the way for revolutionary discoveries in physics.

Refraction
Refraction refers to the bending of light as it passes through
different media, such as air, water, or glass. This phenomenon
occurs due to the change in the speed of light when transitioning
from one medium to another. Snell's law governs the relationship
between the angles of incidence and refraction. The bending of
light through a prism and the creation of rainbows are examples of
refraction in action.

Diffraction
.
Diffraction
Diffraction is the bending and spreading of light waves as they
encounter an obstacle or pass through a narrow aperture. This
phenomenon is a result of light waves interfering with each other.
It explains why we can observe patterns of light and dark regions
when light passes through narrow slits or encounters objects with
sharp edges. Diffraction also plays a significant role in optical
instruments such as telescopes and microscopes.

Electromagnetic Spectrum
The behavior of light extends beyond what is visible to the human
eye. The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses a broad range of
electromagnetic waves, including radio waves, microwaves,
infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. Each
portion of the spectrum exhibits unique characteristics and
behavior , from the ability to transmit information wirelessly to the
ability to penetrate objects or trigger chemical reactions.
Summary
The behavior of light is a captivating subject, blending physics,
optics, and quantum mechanics. Its dual nature, wave-particle
duality, and its interactions with various media through reflection,
refraction, and diffraction offer endless possibilities for scientific
exploration and technological advancements. Understanding and
harnessing the behaviors of light has revolutionized fields such as
telecommunications, medicine, and astronomy, pushing the
boundaries of our knowledge and allowing us to peer into the
deepest corners of the universe.
