Identify 2 observable properties of light that can be explained by the wave model of light. Include an explanation of how it does so?
1. Interference: Light waves can interfere with each other, creating patterns of constructive and destructive interference. This is explained by the wave model of light because when two waves meet, they can either add together (constructive interference) or cancel each other out (destructive interference).
2. Diffraction: Light waves can bend around corners, which is explained by the wave model of light because the wave can spread out and bend around the edges of an obstacle.
