The Spectrum we see Apr 22 6:50 AM THEORIES OF LIGHT Newton's theory light consists of particles called corpuscles; this theory only explained reflection and refraction. Wave theory of light (Maxwell's theory) light behaves like a wave; this explained all the properties of light such as reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference and polarization; it did not explain the photoelectric effect or radiation produced by an incandescent light. Quantum theory light has a dual nature: when light is transmitted through space or matter, it behaves like a wave; when light is emitted or absorbed, it behaves like a particle called a photon.

Apr 22 9:39 AM Ray model of light The ray model of light was introduced as a way to study how light interacts with matter, regardless of whether light is a particle or a wave. Apr 23 9:37 PM

REFLECTION OF LIGHT Light obeys the law of reflection that states that: "The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection." Angles are measured with respect to the normal line Apr 23 9:57 PM Apr 23 10:00 PM
Light reflection from a smooth surface is called regular or specular reflection. Light reflection from a rough or irregular surface is called diffuse reflection. Apr 23 10:02 PM Ray diagram for plane mirror images Left Right reversal Same size Upright Virtual Apr 23 10:15 PM
The image is the same size as the object and the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror. The images formed by a plane mirror are, in truth, reflections of real objects. The images themselves are not real because no light passes through them. These images which appear to the eye to be formed by rays of light but which in truth do not exist are called virtual images. On the other hand real images are formed when rays of light actually intersect at a single point. Apr 23 10:33 PM Curved mirrors CURVED MIRRORS A curved mirror is a mirror that may be thought of as a portion of a reflecting sphere. If the inside of the spherical surface is the reflecting surface, the mirror is said to be concave or converging. If the outside portion is the reflecting surface, the mirror is convex or diverging.

Apr 26 12:30 AM THE (Curved) MIRROR EQUATION The mirror equation can be used to locate the image Where d o is the object s distance, d i is the image distance and f is the focal length. The ratio M is called the magnification, h o is the object s size and h i is the image size. Apr 27 2:08 PM
