   Jul 16, 2024 · Determine if light is absorbed, transmitted, or emitted in a given interaction with matter. What happens when an electromagnetic wave impinges on a material? There are a variety of possibilities depending on the characteristics of that material as well as the frequency of the electromagnetic wave.

   This simulation demonstrates most of the wave phenomena discussed in this section. First, observe interference between two sources of electromagnetic radiation without adding slits. See how water waves, sound, and light all show interference patterns. Stay with light waves and use only one source.

   How does a light ray travel through water?

   • Once the light ray enters the water, it travels in a straight line until it reaches the second boundary. At the second boundary, the light ray is approaching along the normal to the curved surface (this stems from the geometry of circles).

   How does a light refract in water?

   • The light continues through the water along a straight line until it reaches the boundary with air (at the flat side of the dish). The angle of incidence in the water is approximately 39°. At this angle, the light refracts out of the water into the surrounding air bending away from the normal.

   Why does light behave like a ray?

   • As is true for all waves, light travels in straight lines and acts like a ray when it interacts with objects several times as large as its wavelength. However, when it interacts with smaller objects, it displays its wave characteristics prominently. Interference is the identifying behavior of a wave.

   What happens if light passes through water?

   • The rest of the light passes through the water but it bends (or refracts) as it enters the water. The same thing happens when light hits glass or any other transparent material. Some light is reflected off the object whereas the rest passes through and is refracted.

   How does light affect water evaporation?

   • Researchers at MIT have discovered that evaporation can occur through exposure to light, not just heat. This process, observed on various water surfaces, has profound implications for climate modeling and innovative technologies like solar-driven water purification. (Artist’s concept.)

    Laser light is shown passing into and out of a hemi-cylindrical dish filled with water. The light enters the water (at the curved side of the dish) along the normal line; no bending occurs upon entry. The light continues through the water along a straight line until it reaches the boundary with air (at the flat side of the dish).
