The Wave-Particle Duality for Light So is Light a Wave or a Particle
... are complementary, an experiment that clearly illustrates one concept will obscure the other. For example, an experiment that illustrates the particle properties of light will not show any of the wave properties of light. Complementarity is not a compromise with the truth being somewhere in between ...

Electromagnetic Waves
... This is the exception to the rule that says that all waves in a given medium travel at the same speed (we learned this for sound waves in a previous chapter). In a material medium, EM waves exhibit a phenomenon called DISPERSION, where the index of refraction depends on the frequency of the light. H ...

Wave Chaos in Electromagnetism and Quantum Mechanics
... Chaos is a ubiquitous phenomenon in everyday life. It is seen in dripping faucets, population dynamics, the weather, electrical circuits, heart arrhythmia, and many other places. These are all manifestations of what we might call “classical” chaos, because they involve the evolution of classical det ...
