Spherical Mirrors Concave mirrors look like a cave. They
reflect on the inside of the sphere. Convex mirrors look like a
bump or blister. They reflect on the outside of the mirror.

Slide 46
Representations of EM Waves Electromagnetic waves are
oscillations of electric and magnetic fields which propagate
through space at the speed of light.

The Speed of Light
Slide 51
The story starts with: Galileo Galilei First to hypothesize
that light has a finite speed (1564 1642)
Slide 52
The Speed of Light (1644 1710) Determined the relative speed of
light by viewing the orbital period of Io. The period varied by 14
seconds, depending on Earths approach. Jupiter Earth Orbit From
this he calculated it took 22 minutes for light to travel across
the orbit of the Earth. Todays accepted value is about 16 minutes.

Albert Michelson (1852 1931) In 1926 Michelson was working at
the Mount Wilson Observatory in Pasadena California, when he
calculated the time light required to make a round trip between two
California Mountains 35 Km apart. Determined the speed of light to
be: First American to receive the Nobel Prize The Speed of
Light
