Is there any other proof that light is an electromagnetic wave other than its speed has the same value as the inverse square root of the permittivity and permeability constants of vacuum product?


Comment2 the fifth inventor, October 8, 2009 at 3:02 p.m.:

i have made eletricity flow through the air in a flat stream of light


Comment3 srikanth, February 6, 2010 at 7:10 a.m.:

it's good but it should be accurate


Comment4 medo, February 11, 2011 at 8:32 p.m.:

excellant


Comment5 kevin kraydich, December 7, 2016 at 2:50 p.m.:

yes, abdurrazzak ajaja, i found proof that light is an electromagnetic wave other than its speed. I thought this video was full of rock solid information

How come Walt stopped teaching physics? He makes physics fun, playful and user friendly!I love watching him.


Comment7 anonymous, December 7, 2016 at 3:13 p.m.:

Wow, kevin Kraydich, I totally agree. Walt was the only reason i started to learn physics. We should totally meet and discuss him one day!!!!
