    Study Notes

    Light Propagation

    • Light travels in straight lines.
    • Objects cast sharp shadows due to the straight line propagation of light.
    • A camera obscura demonstrates this principle.
    • In a camera obscura, light from an object passes through a small hole, forming an inverted image on a screen.

    Speed of Light

    • Astronomers previously believed light traveled at infinite speed.
    • It was thought that events between distant stars were observed instantaneously throughout the universe.

    Propagation of Light in Straight Lines

    • Light travels in straight lines, a principle known as rectilinear propagation.
    • A demonstration of this principle is the sharp shadow cast by an object.
    • A camera obscura, where an image is formed on a film or plate by light passing through a small hole, also illustrates this principle.
    • In a camera obscura, light rays from a single point on the object travel in straight lines and converge at a corresponding point on the screen.
    • This results in an inverted image of the object.

    The Speed of Light

    • Astronomers historically held the belief that light traveled at an infinite speed.
    • This led to the understanding that any event occurring between distant stars would be seen instantaneously across the universe.
