Alternating current oscillation

39
Q

The Rat Law

A

Reflected
Absorbed
Transmitted

40
Q

It occurs whenever an object changes the direction of a light wave but does not allow the wave to pass through it.

A

Reflection

41
Q

It is the change in direction of a wave due to a change in it’s speed. This is most commonly observed when a wave passes from one medium to another

A

Refraction

42
Q

It is described as the apparent bending of waves around small obstacles and the spreading out of waves past small openings

A

Diffraction

43
Q

Who discovered the speed of Light

A

Ole Romer 300k km/s

44
Q

This type of lighting happens when the sun strikes the subject from behind or when the sun is directly in front of the photographer.

A

Back Lighting

45
Q

Reflected light maybe?

A

Specular or Diffused

46
Q

When the light strikes the surface and rebound it is said to be reflected, and it is called?

A

Incident light

47
Q

The angle which it strikes is called?

A

Incident angle

48
Q

Mediums of Light

A
  1. Transparent Objects
  2. Translucent Objects
  3. Opaque Objects
49
Q

It allows sufficient visible light to pass through them that the object on the other side may be clearly seen. It transmits 90% or more of the incident Light

A

Transparent Objects

50
Q

It allows light to pass, however diffuse it sufficiently that objects on the other side may not be clearly distinguished. It transmits 50% or less of the incident light

A

Translucent Objects

51
Q

It is go greatly diffuse the light that recognizing the object on the other side is very difficult if not impossible. It divert or absorb light.
