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.
