Q

Ray Diagrams

A

show the path of a few important light rays
θi = angle of incidence
θr = angle of reflection
a normal is an imaginary line perpendicular to the point of reflection
when measuring angles, measure from the normal to the light ray

Q

visible light

A

visible light is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths between 400nm and 700nm
white light is actually composed of ROYGBIV

Q

colours

A

each colour has its on frequencies and wavelengths

red = long, slow wave (low energy)
violet = short, fast wave (high energy)
objects appear coloured due to the wavelengths of light that they reflect
in a vacuum, all wavelengths in white light travel together and are indistinguishable

conduction

A

transfer of heat by fast particles hitting slower ones, speeding them up
requires a medium

Q

convection

A

as a fluid is heated its particles push further apart and it expands
this reduces the fluids density so it rises, conversely, cooler fluids sink by the opposite process
requires a medium
