Mr Light

Don't take me Lightly (Poem on Light) I am Mr. Light Listen to my plight Physicists call me diplomatic But still, for them, I am aristocratic Sometimes, I am a corpuscle Casting Shadow for an obstacle. I also behave like a wave. For communication to be my naive. At very high speeds, I travel For atomic riddles to unravel. New phenomena I detect Invisible things are in my closet. My energy lies in a photon Believe me, I knock out an electron. I do reflect, I scatter but never loiter. I diffract, I refract But never retract. When there is a path difference I cannot stop interference. In phase constructive, Out of phase destructive. Nevertheless, I am a detective. I get reflected, absorbed and transmitted But still, I am located. Old phenomena I signet. Unknown Crystals I detect. Ruby makes me doubly refracting To leave me ordinarily and extraordinarily illuminating. My vibrations can be confined to a plane. For polarization to find a lain Without me exploring thing can remain at bay Nature relies on me to make me a hopeful ray. Author Dr. Patankar K. K. Physicist Rajaram College. Kolhapur.
