What are the properties of light? Can you solve for the frequency or wavelength given the other? Can you describe various uses for the different wavelengths/frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum? How does the Doppler Effect apply to light? How does the speed of light depend on the speed of the observer?
23-7 An Example Problem In Chapter 22, we looked at how light is an electromagnetic wave, made up of oscillating electric and magnetic fields propagating through space. In this chapter, we look at the reflection of light, how light interacts with mirrors, and how mirrors can be used to form images. To
Light also helps you identify objects both near and far. But what is light? In this module you will learn about the nature and properties of light in the following lessons: Lesson 1 – The Nature of Light Lesson 2 – Reflection and Mirrors Lesson 3 – Refraction and Lenses Lesson 4 – Colors, Interference and Polarization.
Light may refract into a material where its speed is lower. The angle of refraction is less than the angle of incidence. The ray bends toward the normal. Snell’s Law. ––. Example. Light is refracted into a crown glass slab. θ1 = 30.0o, θ2 = ? n1 = 1.00 and n2 = 1.52. From Table 23.1 (page 844) θ2 = sin-1(n1 / n2) sin θ1 = 19.2o.
Light from the lamps along the edges of the sheet enters the plastic. Then it is totally internally reflected by the front and back faces of the plastic, wherever the plastic has an interface with air.
