  1. HW #1 Due: Ch. 1: P11, P12, P13, P14, PM2 Ch.2: P7, P12

  2. This Lecture: Chapter 1 (review +) Fundamental Properties of Light Reading Assignment: All Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Geometric Optics Reading Assignment: All Chapter 2

  3. Properties of Light • How does it travel? • How fast does it travel? • What is it that travels? • Is it wave, particle, or just rays?

  4. Light travels in a straight line

  5. Light travels in a straight line • The intensity varies with the square of the distance

  6. Light has momentum (example: comets tail is always facing away from the sun)

  7. Reflection

  8. Refraction

  9. Diffraction silver lining

  10. Velocity (300,000,000 meters/sec) Frequency (Hertz) Wavelength (meters) Light is Wave What is a wave?! distance Harmonic wave: wavelength

  11. amplitude z frequency or wavelength z phase z

  12. Wavefront

  13. Light has color!! Color of the light depends on its wavelength …..

  14. *Ripple Tank Waves http://www.cbu.edu/%7Ejvarrian/applets/waves3/ripple.htm * Longitudinal and Transverse Waves -2 http://acad.ursinus.edu/%7Emtakats/gifcat/wavedemo.html *Waves, ElectroMagnetic http://microscopy.fsu.edu/primer/java/electromagnetic/index.html *Oscillating Charge Field http://www.colorado.edu/physics/2000/applets/fieldwaves.html

  15. Electromagnetic Spectrum

  16. Visible Light Spectrum

  17. Resonance • Spring • Strings (musical instruments) • Antenna • Radio or TV Tuner • Microwave Ovens • Atoms and Light Oscillations have natural frequency (= resonance frequency)

  18. Light sources (thermal) *Color Temperature (Vase) http://microscopy.fsu.edu/primer/java/colortemperature/index.html *Black Body http://jersey.uoregon.edu/vlab/PlankRadiationFormula/index.html

  19. Fluorescent Lamp Light Spectrum of various sources *Phosphorescence: E&M Radiation (Joblonski Diagram) http://microscopy.fsu.edu/primer/java/jablonski/index.html

  20. Laser (Ruby) *E&M Radiation (Absorption and Emission) http://microscopy.fsu.edu/primer/java/exciteemit/index.html * Ruby Laser http://microscopy.fsu.edu/primer/java/laser/index.html End of Chapter 1

  21. Geometrical Optics (Chapter 2) When objects are much larger than the wavelength Light Rays (Ray Optics)

  22. Shadows *Shadow-point source http://www.techxhome.com/lightsite/optics/shadows/pointShadow.html *Shadow: Extended Source http://www.techxhome.com/lightsite/optics/shadows/extendedShadow.html

  23. SUN Moon Earth Solar Eclipse: Aug. 11 1999

  24. The Lunar Eclipse

  25. Pinhole Camera *Pinhole Camera http://www.techxhome.com/lightsite/optics/pinholes/pinhole.html

  26. Depth of Image and more

  27. The effect of pinhole size

  28. Diffraction

  29. Reflection *Oscillating Charge Field http://www.colorado.edu/physics/2000/applets/fieldwaves.html

  30. Law of Reflection Normal

  31. Mirrors • Silvered (first surface, second surface) • Half silvered

  32. Grazing Incidence Reflection (glass windows, water surfaces, waxed floors, etc.) • Reflectivity (how much is reflected?)

  33. Sun Pillars and Sub Suns

  34. Ice Crystals

  35. Sub Sun A bright subsun looking downwards from 11,000m over Italy, late afternoon 18th July 1995. The halo was intermittently visible over the southern and central parts of the country covered by a thin cirrus sheet. The halo elongated and contracted as the tilts of the plate crystal mirrors changed. Reflections from lakes and rivers shine through the cloud. Video by Les Cowley.
