Recall from Chapters 25 and 26…
A changing electric field creates a field, which then changes in just the right way to recreate the field, which then changes in just the right way to again recreate the field, and so on.
This is an electromagnetic wave.

Selective Reflection
A red ball seen under white light.
Only is reflected, other colors are absorbed.

A red ball seen under green light.
There is no source of red light to reflect!
Mixing Colored Light
The spectrum of sunlight is a graph of brightness versus frequency.
Somehow, this mix looks “ ” to us.

Why the Sky Is BlueFor small scattering particles, like nitrogen or oxygen molecules, frequency blue light is scattered much more readily than lower frequency red light.

A. orange.
B. yellow.
C. green.
D. blue.

Doppler Shift for Light
• When a light source is moving from you, the spectrum is shifted toward the red.
• When a light source is moving you, the spectrum is shifted toward the blue.
Doppler Shift for Light
• The Doppler shift can be observed with carefully obtained spectra of very fast moving objects like stars
• There is a slight shift in “absorption lines”
Why Sunsets Are RedLight that is least scattered is light of low frequencies, which best travel straight through air.
If molecules in the sky scattered orange light instead of blue light, sunsets would be
A. orange.
B. yellow.
C. green.
D. blue.

Why Clouds Are White
• Clouds are clusters of various sizes of water droplets
Why Clouds Are White
Size of clusters determines scattered cloud color.
• Tiny clusters produce bluish clouds.• Slightly large clusters produce greenish clouds.• Larger clusters produce reddish clouds.• Overall result is white clouds.• Slightly larger clusters produce a deep gray.• Still larger clusters produce raindrops.
What does a white sky indicate?
A. The atmosphere has mostly particles smaller than the wavelength of light
B. The atmosphere has mostly particles larger than the wavelength of light
C. The atmosphere has a mixture of particle sizes
D. The atmosphere has a lot of water vapour
E. The atmosphere is filled with pollutants.

Law of ReflectionThe angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence.

Mirror
• A dentist uses a mirror to look at the back of a second molar (A).
• Next, she wishes to look at the back of a lateral incisor (B), which is 90° away.
• By what angle should she rotate her mirror?
A. 90°B. 45°C. 180°

B
Virtual Image Formation
No light rays actually pass through or even near the image, so it is “virtual”.
Two plane mirrors form a right angle. How many images of the ball can the observer see in the mirrors?
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
• Which picture is most likely a mirror image of Harlow?
A B
C D
• Alice looks at Bob’s image a mirror and sees he has a red shoe on the foot to Alice’s left.
• Then she asks Bob to turn and face her, so she can compare the image to what Bob looks like in real life.
• Bob takes a couple of steps forward, turns around and faces Alice.
Virtual Image Formation
• Alice notes that the red shoe is now on the foot on the .
• Alice concludes: “Mirrors reverse left and right, not up and down.” Is this true? Can you see any flaws in Alice’s reasoning?
mirror real
Bob in Mirror
Bob turns to face Alice
• Bob chooses to rotate around a vertical axis, and therefore he looks flipped left-to-right.
• But if Bob wants to turn to face Alice, is there any other way to do it?
Virtual Image Formation
• What really happens is the image is reversed front-to-back
Refraction
When light bends in going obliquely from one medium to another, we call this process refraction.
Cause of Refraction• Bending of light when it passes from one medium
to another• Caused by change in of light

A soldier wants to get from point 1 to Point 2 in the shortest amount of time. Marching through mud is much slower than marching on dry land. Which might be the best path?
A B C
Refraction
Light travels in glass than in air, so it minimizes the time it spends in the glass.

A. a greater depth than it really is.B. its true depth.C. a smaller depth than it really is.

Dispersion
• Process of separation of light into colors arranged by frequency
• Components of white light are dispersed in a prism (and in a diffraction grating).
RainbowsRainbows are a result of dispersion by many drops.• Dispersion of light by a single drop
Rainbows
Antisun
Radius of circle is about 41°
Double-rainbow
The second rainbow has blue on the top, and a radius of about 53°
Total Internal Reflection
• Total reflection of light traveling within a medium that strikes the boundary of another medium at an angle at, or greater than, the angle
Discussion Question

• For what condition is total internal reflection possible?
A. v2 > v1
B. v2 < v1
C. v2 = v1
D. All of the above

NOTE: Focal length is defined for initially parallel rays.
Diverging Lens
Virtual Focal Point
Negative , -f
Rays appear to emerge from Virtual Focal Point
Diverging rays through a Converging Lens
, f
If an object emits rays at the focal point, they end up being parallel on the other side of the converging lens.
What will happen to the rays emerging to the right of the lens if the face is moved a little further away from the lens?
A. They will remain parallel.B. They will diverge (spread out).C.They will converge (toward a focus).
f
Real Image Formation
, f
Light rays actually pass through the image, and a screen can be placed there, so it is “real”.
image
The Camera• A camera “takes a picture” by
using a lens to form a real, inverted image on a light-sensitive detector in a light-tight box.
• We can model a combination lens as a single lens with an
focal length (usually called simply “the focal length”)
• A zoom lens changes the effective focal length by varying the spacing between the converging lens and the diverging lens.
