Light Wave Trio:
A: Wavelength (λ): The wavelength of light is the spatial period of the wave – the distance over which the wave's shape repeats. Wavelength is a measure of distance for a wave, not entirely unlike the distance between two peaks of a mountain.
B: Frequency (f): The frequency of light wave is the number of wave periods that pass a given point per unit of time. It is the number of cycles per second, and the unit of frequency is the hertz (Hz).
C: Speed of Light (c): The speed at which light waves propagate through different materials. In vacuum, the speed of light is 299,792 kilometers per second.
Traditional Understanding: The wavelength, frequency, and speed of light are interconnected and governed by the equation c = λf. The speed of light is a constant in a specific medium, and it is the product of the frequency and wavelength of the light.
Simplified Triadic Interpretations:
1. **Coexistence Triad and Light Properties**: The Coexistence Triad ( λ ↔ f ) ∧ ( f ↔ c ) ∧ ( λ ↔ c ) captures how wavelength (λ), frequency (f), and speed of light (c) coexist. Given the speed of light in a medium is a constant, an increase in frequency necessitates a decrease in wavelength and vice versa.
2. **Causal Triad and Light Behaviour**: The Causal Triad ( λ → f ) ∧ ( f → c ) ∧ ( ¬λ → ¬c ) may be seen in the behavior of light in various mediums. An increase in wavelength (λ) leads to a decrease in frequency (f), and this doesn’t change the speed of light (c). If there is no wavelength (¬λ), then there is no light, hence no speed of light (¬c).
3. **Counterbalance Triad and Wave Adjustment**: The Counterbalance Triad ( ¬f → ¬λ ) ∧ ( ¬c → ¬f ) ∧ ( ¬λ → ¬c ) indicates that the absence of one wave property infers the absence of the others. The lack of frequency or wavelength means no propagation of light waves. This triad can also represent the adjustment process of waves when light moves between different media, maintaining the balance of the equation c = λf.
