1. Interference: The wave model of light explains interference as the result of two or more waves overlapping and either reinforcing or cancelling each other out. This is why light can be diffracted and produce patterns of light and dark bands.
2. Polarization: The wave model of light explains polarization as the result of light waves vibrating in a single plane. This is why light can be filtered through a polarizing filter and only allow light waves vibrating in a single plane to pass through.
Identify 2 observable properties of light that can be explained by the wave model of light. Include an explanation of how it does so?
