Of course‚ we live in an imperfect world and not all surfaces are smooth. When light strikes a rough surface‚ incoming light rays reflect at all sorts of angles because the surface is uneven. This scattering occurs in many of the objects we encounter every day. The surface of paper is a good example. You can see just how rough it is if you peer at it under a microscope. When light hits paper‚ the waves are reflected in all directions. This is what makes paper so incredibly useful -- you can read

Students are not expected to know the answers to the Prior Knowledge Questions.] • To survive‚ what gas do we need to breathe in? Oxygen • Where is this gas produced? In plants Gizmo Warm-up During photosynthesis‚ plants use the energy of light to produce glucose (C6H12O6) from carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ and water (H2O). Glucose is a simple sugar that plants use for energy and as a building block for larger molecules. A by-product of photosynthesis is oxygen. Plants use some of the oxygen they

Dispersion Of White Light by a Glass Prism: When a beam of white light is passed through a glass prism‚ it is split up into a band of colours called spectrum. This is called dispersion of white light. The spectrum of white has the colours violet‚ indigo‚ blue‚ green‚ yellow‚ orange and red (VIBGYOR). The red light bends the least and the violet light bends the most. A rainbow is a natural spectrum appearing in the sky after a rain shower. It is caused by the dispersion of sunlight by water

Light is just one portion of the various electromagnetic waves flying through space. The electromagnetic spectrum covers an extremely broad range‚ from radio waves with wavelengths of a meter or more‚ down to x-rays with wavelengths of less than a billionth of a meter. Optical radiation lies between radio waves and x-rays on the spectrum‚ exhibiting a unique mix of ray‚ wave‚ and quantum properties. At x-ray and shorter wavelengths‚ electromagnetic radiation tends to be quite particle like

Properties of Light Purpose: The ideal purpose of this lab activity is to investigate the relationship between the frequency of the light (color) and the energy produced by different colors of light. Other purposes of this experiment include calculating the proper current for each LED‚ measuring the evaporation rate of rubbing alcohol‚ and being able to discuss the outcome of the relationship in light energy and the color of the light producing the energy. Materials: Light Emitting Diodes

THE NATURE OF LIGHT Until the time of Isaac Newton (1642–1727)‚ most scientists thought that light consisted of streams of particles (called corpuscles) emitted by light sources. Galileo and others tried (unsuccessfully) to measure the speed of light. Around 1665‚ evidence of wave properties of light began to be discovered. By the early 19th century‚ evidence that light is a wave had grown very persuasive. In 1873‚ James Clerk Maxwell predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves and calculated

Chapter II Light and Matter The Inner Workings of the Cosmos 2.4 The Distribution of Radiation All microscopic objects – fires‚ cubes‚ people‚ and stars – emit radiation at all times. They radiate because the microscopic charged particles in them are in constant random motion‚ and whenever charges change their state of motion‚ electromagnetic radiation is emitted. The temperature of an object is a direct measure of the amount of microscopic motion within it. The hotter the object

An essay on light bulb While many learned professors have abandoned hope of ever discovering the truth behind light bulb‚ I for one feel that it is still a worthy cause for examination. In depth analysis of light bulb can be an enriching experience. Cited by many as the single most important influence on post modern micro eco compartmentalism‚ it is yet to receive proper recognition for laying the foundations of democracy. Often it is seen as both a help and a hinderence to those most reliant on
