Light Is An Electromagnetic Wave Quotes & Sayings

Now, since the time of Newton there had been a debate about whether light was a wave
that is, a traveling disturbance in some background medium
or a particle, which travels regardless of the presence of a background medium. The observation of Maxwell that electromagnetic waves must exist and that their speed was identical to that of light ended the debate: light was an electromagnetic wave. — Lawrence M. Krauss

I am bold enough to say that a man-made Moon voyage will never occur regardless of all scientific advances. — Lee De Forest

Little things make the difference. Everyone is well prepared in the big things, but only the winners perfect the little things. — Bear Bryant

It ain't that he's not interested in, like, persuasiveness, get me? He's interested in it. Like something in a jar. — China Mieville

At the head of these new discoveries and insights comes the establishment of the facts that electricity is composed of discrete particles of equal size, or quanta, and that light is an electromagnetic wave motion. — Johannes Stark

No sane person, I hope, would accuse me of saying that every Distributist must drink beer; especially if he could brew his own cider or found claret better for his health. But I do most emphatically scorn and scout the vulgar refinement that regards beer as something unseemly and humiliating. And I would shout the name of beer a hundred times a day, to shock all the snobs who have so shameful a sense of shame. — Gilbert K. Chesterton

Know that I am extremely proud of all that is 'Ween.' — Gene Ween

A visionary is someone who can see the future, or thinks he sees the future. In my case, I use it and it comes out right.

Shadow wondered whether the path of comforting lies would have been a better one to walk. — Anonymous

Be firm in your decisions.
Have your own rhythm for life. — Lailah Gifty Akita

These electric and magnetic fields can be elegantly unified into what's known as the electromagnetic field, represented by six numbers at each point in spacetime. As we discussed in Chapter 7, light is simply a wave rippling through the electromagnetic field, so if our physical world is a mathematical structure, then all the light in our Universe (which feels quite physical) corresponds to six numbers at each point in spacetime (which feels quite mathematical). These numbers obey the mathematical relations that we know as Maxwell's equations, shown in Figure 10.4. — Max Tegmark

Careful what you hunt, lest you catch it. — Lev Grossman

When you're writing fiction or poetry ... it really comes down to this: indifference to everything except what you're doing ... A young writer could do worse than follow the advice given in those lines. — Raymond Carver
