Definition: Electromagnetic radiation or energy transmitted through space or a material medium in the form of electromagnetic waves (definition in physics) Light is defined as visually evaluated radiant energy – light is that part of the electromagnetic spectrum visible by the human eye (illuminating engineering definition). SETAS - AMAT: EET-314 Lecture #1 3 Definition of Light: What is Light? Light is known to exhibit the properties of both electromagnetic waves and discrete particles Wave-particle duality We will examine the two cases: Light as Electromagnetic Waves Light as quantized particles (photons) SETAS - AMAT: Course Code Lecture #1 4 Definition of Light: What is Light? As a wave… As a particle… A small disturbance in an Particles of light (photons) travel electric field creates a small through space. magnetic field, which in turn These photons have very creates a small electric field, specific energies that is, light is and so on… quantized. Light waves can interfere with Photons strike your eye (or other other light waves, canceling or sensors) like a very small bullet, amplifying them! and are detected. The color of light is determined by its wavelength. SETAS - AMAT: Course Code Lecture #1 5 Physics of Light: Electromagnetic Waves James Clerk Maxwell described light as electromagnetic radiation that consists of waves and travels from its source in all directions Unlike sound waves that consist of material particles, light consists of perpendicular electric and magnetic field waves SETAS - AMAT: EET-314 Lecture #1 6 Physics of Light: Electromagnetic Waves These waves are known as Transverse Waves Wavelength (λ) Equation: λ = v/f, where v is the velocity and f is the frequency of the wave Wavelengths of light are typically measured in nanometers (nm), or billionths of a meter SETAS - AMAT: EET-314 Lecture #1 7 Physics of Light: Electromagnetic Waves Interesting facts of EM waves: Can travel through vacuum, empty space and matter EM waves do not transfer energy through vibration but rather through electromagnetic radiation Speed of an EM wave is dependent upon the material through which it is traveling EM waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum SETAS - AMAT: EET-314 Lecture #1 8 Physics of Light: Electromagnetic Spectrum Electromagnetic spectrum is a complete range of EM waves Visible light only represents a small band of the spectrum SETAS - AMAT: EET-314 Lecture #1 9 Physics of Light: Electromagnetic Spectrum White Light Violet 380-435 nm Blue 435-500 nm Green 500-565 nm Yellow 565-600 nm Orange 600-630 nm Red 630-780 nm White light emitted by the sun or an incandescent lamps is a mixture of all wavelengths in the visible spectrum White light can be separated into its components by means of a prism SETAS - AMAT: EET-314 Lecture #1 10 Physics of Light: Wave-Particle Duality, Photoelectric Effect Electrons are emitted when light shines on a material. This is known as the Photoelectric Effect. Electrons become dislodged when wave-like particles strike the surface. This phenomena led scientists like Max Plank and Albert Einstein to hypothesize that light exists as discrete wave packets. SETAS - AMAT: EET-314 Lecture #1 11  Physics of Light: Electromagnetic Quantum Theory In 1900, Max Plank assumed that energy of radiation is emitted in discrete indivisible portions called quanta For visible radiation (light) the term photons is used Courtesy of PVEducation.com http://www.pveducation.org/pvcdrom/properties-of-sunlight/properties-of-light Phillips: Theory of Light and Lighting http://www.pveducation.org/pvcdrom/properties-of-sunlight/properties-of-light SETAS - AMAT: EET-314 Lecture #1 12 Physics of Light: Electromagnetic Quantum Theory The energy content of a quantum of radiation is directly related to its frequency or wavelength: E = h * f or E = h * c / λ where: E = energy (Joules) f = frequency (Hz) h = Planck’s constant (6.626 x 10-34 J * sec) c = speed of light in a vacuum (2.998 x 108 m/sec) λ = wavelength (m) Equation shows that shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy of radiation (e.g. UV rays, X rays and gamma ray).

SETAS - AMAT: EET-314 Lecture #1 14 Physics of Light: Interaction of Light and Surfaces When light strikes a surface, it can either be transmitted, reflected, refracted or absorbed SETAS - AMAT: EET-314 Lecture #1 15  Physics of Light: Reflection On a smooth surface, the angle of incidence (θi) equals the angle of reflection (θr) When precise light control is required, high efficiency mirror reflectors are used Depending on shape of mirror and position of light source different beam patterns can be produced Phillips: Theory of Light and Lighting http://www.pveducation.org/pvcdrom/properties-of-sunlight/properties-of-light SETAS - AMAT: EET-314 Lecture #1 16 Physics of Light: Transmission and Absorption Light falling on a surface that is not reflected is either absorbed or transmitted Absorption For non-transparent surfaces, light that ‘disappears’ in the surface and is converted to heat energy Percentage of absorption depends on the angle of light beam and wavelength (eg. Red surface reflects red light but absorbs most other colours) Transmission Transparent material will allow part of the light to pass through it (eg. Glass, clear water etc.) Transmission is wavelength dependant SETAS - AMAT: EET-314 Lecture #1 17 Physics of Light: Refraction Refraction is the bending of a light ray as is passes from one medium into another of different density Created by the change in the speed of light from one medium to another Index of refraction (n) is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum (c) and the speed of light in a medium (v) n = c/v Material n Vacuum 1.000 Different material have different Air 1.000277 index of refraction Water 4/3 Crown glass 1.50-1.62 Diamond 2.417 SETAS - AMAT: EET-314 Lecture #1 18 Physics of Light: Refraction Snell’s Law relates indices of refraction of two media to the direction of propagation n1 sinθ1 = n2 sinθ2 capuphysics.ca Example 2: A ray of light is incident on an air-to-glass boundary at an angle of 30°with the normal. If the index of refraction of the glass is 1.65, what is the angle of the refracted ray with respect to the normal?

Tasks of high contrast Tasks of high contrast generally require less light generally require less light SETAS - AMAT: EET-314 Lecture #1 30  Vision: Glare There are two main types of glare: Direct ▪ Bright light directly in employee’s field of view Reflected (or indirect) ▪ Caused by light bouncing off nearby surfaces into the worker’s eyes (Adapted from: Computer Ergonomics: Workstation Layout and Lighting, 2004, p.10.)

What is the z value? SETAS - AMAT: EET-314 Lecture #1 43  Colour: Colour Rendering Index (CRI) Another property of lamps that is related to how we see different colors under its light. The CRI is a number between 0 and 100. ▪ The reference standard is a very special incandescent lamp at a lighting laboratory. ▪ The light output of this lamp sets the standard for CRI as 100. Users can find data on the CRI of lamps in catalog or product specifications 44 Colour: Colour Rendering Index (CRI) The CRI is generally associated with the quality of lighting. The U.S. EPA Green Lights program rates CRI and lighting quality as follows: 75 – 100 Excellent 65 – 75 Good 55 – 65 Fair 0 – 55 Poor CRI and the color temperature of a particular lamp determine how we see colors under that lamp. 45 Colour: Colour Rendering Index (CRI) Black and White (CRI: 0) Full Colour (CRI: 100) 46  Summary 1. Light can be described as both electromagnetic waves and as discrete wavelike particles (photons) 2. Visible light only represents a very narrow ban of the electromagnetic spectrum 3. White light is composed of all colours in the visible light spectrum 4. For refracted light rays, direction of propagation can be determined using Snell’s Law 5. Light hitting a surface can be either: reflected,refracted transmitted or absorbed 47  Summary 6. Cones are used for day vision (photopic) and rods are for night vision (scotopic) 7. Visibility factors affect vision 8. Secondary colours can be created from primary colours (Red, Green and Blue) 9. There are two methods for specifying light colour: CIE chromaticity chart (x,y,z) and Correlated Colour Temperature (CCT) 10. Human vision is most sensitive to yellow-green wavelengths. 11. The Color Rendering Index (CRI) indicates how accurate a light source is at rendering color 48
