module 3 and 4 Flashcards
is one of known forms of radiant electromagnetic energy which travel in wave motion.
light
is the number of waves passing in given point in one second.
frequency
is the distance from crest(highest crest) to the wave of the next succeeding crest.
wavelength
what are the two types of theory?
wavelength theory and quantum theory
is the most pertinent, particularly in the design of lenses.
wavelength theory
theorized that light might be made up of little bundles of energy named quanta.
quantum theory
radiation having a wavelength between 01-30 nanometer or milli-microns.
X-ray
radiation having a wavelength from 30 to 400 milli-microns.
ultra-violet rays
rays having a wavelength of 400 to 700 milli-microns.
white light
radiation having a wavelength of 700 to 1000 milli-microns.
infra-red rays
RAT LAW
Reflected, Absorbed, and Transmitted
it is the deflection or bouncing back of light when it hits a surface.
Reflection
two types of reflection
Regular and Irregular
happens when light hits a flat, smooth and shiny surface.
regular
occurs when light hits a rough or uneven but glossy object.
irregular
