    Questions related to Mysterious Light

    Q1. What is Light ?


    Ans. It is a form of Energy which gives sensation of Vision

    Q2. Is Light Itself Visible?


    Ans. NO, Otherwise Universe would not be black

    Q3. Is it a mechanical wave or non - mechanical wave?


    Ans. Non Mechanical Transverse Wave, that is why it travels in Vacuum

    Q4. What is Optics? How many types of Optics


    Ans. Study of light, Ray Optics : Particle Nature of Light , Wave Optics :
    Wave Nature of Light
    Q5. What is Dual Nature of LIght?
    Ans. It shows two behaviours of two different conceptualisations :
    Particle & Wave
    observing Phenomenon like Reflection, Refraction & Interference,
    Diffraction & Polarisation
    Particle Nature of Light

    Newton’s Corpuscles Theory :-

    Photon Theory by Einstein :-


    The Wave Theory : EM Wave

    Light refers to electromagnetic radiation


    that can be detected by the human eye.
    The entire electromagnetic spectrum is
    extremely broad, ranging from low
    energy radio waves with wavelengths,
    shows properties such as INTERFERENCE,
    DIFFRACTION & POLARISATION.
    Ray Nature of Light

    ⮚ Light also has the property of a particle. The intensity of the


    light varies depending on the number of particles. Bright light
    has many particles while dark light has fewer particles. These
    particles of light are called “photons”
    ⮚ Light travels at a speed of about 300,000 kilometers per second
    (c = 3 × 108 m/s).
    ⮚ When in a vacuum such as outer space where no matter is
    present, light travels straightforward, this is called Rectilinear
    Motion of Light
    ⮚ Several Photons in a single line constitute a Light Ray
    ⮚ Several Light Rays constitute a Beam of Light
    Ray Nature of Light & Related Laws
    ➢ Law of Rectilinear Propagation of Light

    ➢ Law of Independence

    ➢ Law of Reversibility of Light

    ➢ Law of Persistence of Vision (1/16th)


    Question

    What happened once a light ray is incident on a surface ?


    Question

    How do we see things?


    LAWS OF REFLECTION

    The laws of reflection determine the reflection of incident light rays on reflecting
    surfaces, like mirrors, smooth metal surfaces, and clear water.
    The laws of reflection states that
    ⮚ The Incident Ray, the Reflected Ray and the Normal all lie in the same plane
    ⮚ The Angle of Incidence (∠i) = The Angle of Reflection (∠r)
    OBJECT & IMAGE : THE CONCEPT
    REFLECTION THROUGH MIRROR
