Is light a part of electromagnetic radiation? What is color? What are radio waves and x-rays? What is a laser? How does a rainbow work? Is light a wave or a particle? Is an electron a wave or a particle? This video illustrates how electromagnetic waves cause colorful rainbows, while they also behave as particles (“objects”). It complements the book “Everyday Physics: Waves – from Sounds and Light to Tsunamis and Gravitation”, by Michel A. Van Hove, pub. World Scientific 2024.
