    Study Notes

    Electromagnetic Spectrum

    • Includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, UV light, X-rays, and gamma rays.
    • Visible light spectrum is ROY G. BIV (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet).

    Luminous vs. Non-luminous Objects

    • Luminous objects generate their own light (e.g., sun, light bulb, fireflies).
    • Non-luminous objects do not generate their own light but reflect light from a source (e.g., moon, a book).

    Types of Light

    • Incandescent: Copper coil heats up to produce light (not efficient).
    • Fluorescent: Argon gas and mercury in a bulb react, creating light (more efficient but contains toxic mercury).
    • LED (Light-Emitting Diodes): Very efficient and produce little heat.
    • Chemiluminescence: Chemical reactions produce light.
    • Bioluminescence: Organisms generate their own light (e.g., fireflies, jellyfish).

    Primary Colors of Light

    • Red, green, and blue combine to produce white light.

    Secondary Colors of Light

    • Red + Blue = Magenta
    • Red + Green = Yellow
    • Blue + Green = Cyan

    True Color

    • The color of an object as seen under white light (no filtered light).

    Combining Primary Colors of Light

    • Combining primary colors produces white light.

    Combining Secondary Colors of Light

    • Combining secondary colors produces white light (as secondary colors are combinations of primary colors).

    Transparent, Translucent, Opaque

    • Transparent: Light passes completely through.
    • Translucent: Some light passes through, but it is scattered.
    • Opaque: No light passes through.

    Complementary Colors

    • Complementary colors (when combined) produce white light.

    Plane Mirrors

    • Flat mirror
    • Same size image
    • Upright
    • Equal distance from object but reversed
    • Virtual image

    Converging Mirrors

    • Concave mirror
    • Small object far from mirror=magnified image
    • Small object close to mirror=upright image
    • Real image when object far from mirror, virtual when close
    • Image inverted when far, upright when close

    Diverging Mirrors

    • Convex mirror
    • Smaller image than the object
    • Upright
    • Virtual image
    • Behind the mirror

    Angle of Reflection

    • The angle between the reflected ray and the normal equals the angle of incidence.

    Image Size in a Plane Mirror

    • Same size as the object.

    Image Type in a Plane Mirror

    • Virtual image (behind the mirror).

    SALT (Image Characteristics)

    • Size
    • Attitude, (orientation of the image)
    • Location (where the image is located relative to the mirror)
    • Type (real or virtual)

    Uses of Converging Mirrors

    • Shaving mirrors, head mirrors, ophthalmoscopes, astronomical telescopes, headlights, solar furnaces.

    Uses of Diverging Mirrors

    • Side-view mirrors on cars, security mirrors in stores.

    Light Bulb Efficiency

    • Governments promote fluorescent and LED light bulbs over incandescent bulbs due to increased efficiency and longer lifespan.
