A short, incomplete list...what are the properties of light?
From the electromagnetic point of view, light is an oscillating magnetic field that creates an oscillating electric field, that creates an oscillating magnetic field, etc. This is called "propogation".does light have magnetic field?
Light is composed of electromagnetic radiation, which consists of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to each other and travel in a straight line.
The primary colors of light are red, green, and blue. These colors are often referred to as the RGB colors and can be combined to create any other color in the visible spectrum.
The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second, or 186,282 miles per second. This is considered to be the fastest speed that anything can travel in the universe.
Light travels in a straight line, known as a ray. It can also be described as a wave, as it exhibits properties of both particles and waves.
The units used to measure light include wavelength (in meters or nanometers), frequency (in Hertz), and energy (in Joules or electron volts). Other units such as candela and lux are used to measure the intensity or brightness of light.
