Document Summary
Physics of light: light as a wave and its interaction with matter i. Recap: intensity spectrum by light-emitting source: so far we have examined how hot, dense glowing objects produce their own light they glow" due to their immense heat. (e. g. : the. A graph of intensity of light generated by a source versus wavelength is called an intensity. Different models of light: we can explain different light phenomena with the help of different models of how light behaves, depending (roughly) on the sizes of objects and wavelengths of light interacting with these objects. Ray model: tracing the path of light: the ray model of light is an easy and convenient model to trace the path taken by light, from various perspectives. Ultimately, the path that we really care" about is the one that makes it into the viewer"s eye, to.
