Light

Question 1

type of electromagnetic radiation

has wave and particle properties

longer wavelength photons have less energy

Answer 1

light

Question 2

light shined at 2 slits in a screen show an interference pattern characteristics of waves of light, rather than particles

Answer 2

young’s double slit experiment

Question 3

speed of light

Answer 3

c = wavelength (in m) * frequency of wave (in s^-1 or H)

c (speed of light)

Answer 4

law of reflection

Question 5

states the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction

Answer 5

law of refraction

Question 6

angle where there is no transmitted or refracted wave

Answer 6

critical angle
