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.
