Frequency, wavelength and amplitude of light waves depend on types of photon differing, according to the number of paramānus, they have.
Photons of all types of visible and invisible light rays belong to the Taijas Vargaạä. Taijas means light or electricity. Since all electromagnetic waves are created with electricity, they also belong to Taijas Vargaņā. And where there is electricity, there are positive and negative electric charges. An electric current gives rise to magnetic field when it passes through steel. In short electricity and magnetism are so closely interconnected that they cannot be separated.
Paramaņu-units of all electromagnetic waves belong to Taijas vargaņa, while paramäņu-units of all sound waves, belong to Bhaşa Vargaņā. Light waves and electromagnetic waves propagate in a straight line, while sound waves do not always propagate in a straight line, but they bend in all directions at the edges of holes, doors, windows etc: Walls etc. do not therefore, obstruct them. Since ionospheric layers reflect radio waves, no satellite is needed for broadcasting of radio programmes. For broadcasting of T.V. programmes scientists put a satellite in the orbit which is at the height of 36,000 kms from the earth because T.V. waves always propagate in a straight line.
Sound waves bend because paramaņu-units of Bhaşa Vargaņā have a very low velocity of 330 metres/sec. Light waves and
