Electromagnetic Spectrum

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.

Interference and Diffraction

Interference and diffraction are terms that describe a wave interacting with something that changes its amplitude, such as another wave.

Planck's Quantum Theory

Max Planck suggested that the energy of light is proportional to its frequency, also showing that light exists in discrete quanta of energy.
