Properties!
➢Travels in straight lines
➢Monochromatic wavelength, or one color
○ White light have different wavelengths, or many
colors.
➢Directional light
○ Sun light, light bulbs, and candles spread light in
all directions.

Properties!
➢Coherent light
○ Laser light travels at the same speed,
amplitude, wavelength, etc.
➢Can get hot quickly!
○ Lasers can send lots of energy to an area very
fast
