What do you know about light?- What is light ?- How can you model light beam? - How do you know your model of light is
correct?- How can you see things around you?- Light source
16.116.1 LIGHT: What Is It?LIGHT: What Is It?
Light is a range of electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the human eye.
It is as changing electric and magnetic fields which propagate through space, forming an electromagnetic wave. Light is a transverse wave.
EM radiation has a dual nature as both particles and waves.
Speed in vacuum is 300,000 km/sec or 186,000 mi/sec
Speed in other materials - slower in Air, Water, Glass, and etc

How can you model the path of light through How can you model the path of light through air?air?
Light is presented as a ray that travels in a straight pathRay model of light helps us to study
how light interact with matter.
16.1 Sources of light 16.1 Sources of light
Rays of light come from sources of light.
2 types of light sources.Natural Artificial - man made
Incandescence - the vibration of entire atoms. luminescence involves only the electrons.
Luminous source
Incandescent light is produced when atoms are heated and release some of their thermal vibration as EM radiation.
Example: the sun, fire and light bulbs.
Depending on how hot the material is, the photon released have different energies, and therefore, different colors.
16.1 Sources of light 16.1 Sources of light
Example: Fluorescent lampLaser
TV screenLEDs (light-emitting diodes)
computer monitors, chemical reactions as Halloween light sticks
and fire-flies, radioactivity as in luminous paints
luminescence is produced when an electron releases some of its energy to EM radiation, not an entire atom.

Luminous flux (P) – the rate at which light energy [lm]
Example: 100 W incandescent bulb emits app. 1750 lm.
illuminance (E) – a measure of how much luminous flux is spread
over a given area. [Lx]Inverse-square law
Luminous intensity (I) – the luminous flux that falls on 1 square meter
of the inside of 1 m radius sphere. [Cd] candela

Explaining Common candle emits light with roughly 1 cd luminous intensity. A 25 W
compact fluorescent light bulb puts out around 1700 lumens; if that light is
radiated equally in all directions, it will have an intensity of around 135 cd.
Focused into a 20° beam, it will have an intensity of around 18 000 cd.
Electromagnetic Electromagnetic SpectrumSpectrum Visible Spectrum – Light we can
see Red, Orange, Yellow, Green,
Blue, Indigo, & Violet.Largest to Smallest Wavelength.
Each different color of light refracts at different angle.This uneven refraction causes the white light to be spread into spectrum.
Spectrum
Color by addition of Color by addition of light light
The white light formed from colored light in variety of way.
Complementary colors - two colors of light that can be combined to make white light.

Color by subtraction of light
Objects can reflect and transmit light. Also they can absorb light.
A object not only depends on wavelength present in light that illuminates the object, but also depends on what wavelengths are observed and what wavelengths are reflected.

Polarization of lightThe polarization of light is described by specifying the
orientation of the wave's electric field at a point in space over one
period of the oscillation.
16.2 PolarizationA light wave that is vibrating in more than one plane is referred to as unpolarized light.
The electric field may be oriented in a single direction (linear
polarization)
Polarized light waves are light waves in which the vibrations occur in a single plane.

Doppler effect in light:Doppler effect in light:
Redshift and BlueshiftDoppler’s shift is of great use in
astronomy. A light source moving away from
the observer would provide .
It is called Redshift.
Doppler effect in light: Redshift and Blueshift
• When the light source is moving toward the observer, then
It is called Blueshift
How You SeeHow You SeeRetina –
Lens refracts light to converge on the retina. Nerves transmit the image
Rods – Nerve cells in the retina. Very sensitive to light & dark
Cones – Nerve cells help to see light/color
