Slide 2

The angle between the incident ray and the emergent ray is called the angle of deviation. It is represented by

Slide 3

The angle of incidence at the first surface (i) The angle of Prism (A) The R.I. of the material of the prism ()

Slide 4

White Light : Its a polychromatic light and has all the seven wavebands present in it. Monochromatic Light: A light which consists of one colour (one wavelength) only is called monochromatic light

Slide 5

A light, which is a mixture of several colours (waveband) is called polychromatic light.

Slide 6

The phenomenon of splitting of white light into its constituent colours is known as DISPERSION

Slide 7

The band of colours obtained on the screen, when a polychromatic light splits into component colours is called a Visible spectrum.

Slide 8

When white light is incident on the first surface of a prism and enters it, light of different colours is refracted (or deviated) through different angles. CAUSE OF DISPERSION

Slide 13

Electromagnetic Waves & the Electromagnetic Spectrum

Slide 14

Electromagnetic Waves Transverse waves without a medium! (They can travel through empty space)

Slide 15

They travel as vibrations in electrical and magnetic fields. Have some magnetic and some electrical properties to them.

Slide 16

When an electric field changes, so does the magnetic field. The changing magnetic field causes the electric field to change. When one field vibratesso does the other. RESULT-An electromagnetic wave.

Slide 17

Electromagnetic Spectrumname for the range of electromagnetic waves when placed in order of increasing frequency RADIO WAVES MICROWAVES INFRARED RAYS VISIBLE LIGHT ULTRAVIOLET RAYS X-RAYS GAMMA RAYS

Slide 18

Notice the wavelength is long (Radio waves) and gets shorter (Gamma Rays)

Slide 19

RADIO WAVES Have the longest wavelengths and lowest frequencies of all the electromagnetic waves.

Slide 20

Global Positioning Systems (GPS) measure the time it takes a radio wave to travel from several satellites to the receiver, determining the distance to each satellite.

Slide 21

A radio picks up radio waves through an antenna and converts it to sound waves. Each radio station in an area broadcasts at a different frequency. # on radio dial tells frequency.

Slide 22

MRI (MAGNETIC RESONACE IMAGING) Uses Short wave radio waves with a magnet to create an image.

Slide 23

MICROWAVES Have the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency of the radio waves.

Slide 24

Used in microwave ovens. Waves transfer energy to the water in the food causing them to vibrate which in turn transfers energy in the form of heat to the food.

Slide 25

RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) Used to find the speed of an object by sending out radio waves and measuring the time it takes them to return.

Slide 26

INFRARED RAYS Infrared= below red Shorter wavelength and higher frequency than microwaves.

Slide 27

PROPERTIES They are not affected by electric or magnetic field. They travel with the velocity of light. They obey the laws of reflection and refraction. They are least scattered by fog, mist, etc.

Slide 28

Their wavelength is between 0.8m to 40m. They do not affect ordinary photographic film. They can be detected by a thermopile or a thermometer.

Slide 29

You can feel the longest ones as warmth on your skin Warm objects give off more heat energy than cool objects.

Slide 30

Thermograma picture that shows regions of different temperatures in the body. Temperatures are calculated by the amount of infrared radiation given off. Therefore people give off infrared rays. Heat lamps give off infrared waves.

Slide 31

VISIBLE LIGHT Shorter wavelength and higher frequency than infrared rays. Electromagnetic waves we can see. Longest wavelength= red light Shortest wavelength= violet (purple) light

Slide 32

ULTRAVIOLET RAYS Shorter wavelength and higher frequency than visible light Carry more energy than visible light

Slide 33

PROPERTIES They are e.m.waves and are not effected by electric or magnetic field. They travels with the velocity light. The range of these radiations is between 4000A to 100A They produce chemical effect in sliver.

Slide 34

PROPERTIES They obeys the laws of reflection and refraction. They are absorbed by the atmosphere and convert oxygen to ozone. They produced fluorescence in substance like zinc sulphide, barium sulphide, etc.

Slide 35

Too much can cause skin cancer. Use sun block to protect against (UV rays)

Slide 36

Causes your skin to produce vitamin D (good for teeth and bones)

Slide 37

X- RAYS Shorter wavelength and higher frequency than UV-rays Carry a great amount of energy Can penetrate most matter.

Slide 38

PROPERTIES X-Ray are e.m.wave of very short wavelength ranging from 10 -12 m to 10 -10 m. They are not effected by electric and magnetic field. They effect the photographic plate intensely.

Slide 39

PROPERTIES They travel in vacuum with the speed of light. They ionize the gas through which they pass. X-ray undergo reflection and refraction.

Slide 40

Bones and teeth absorb x-rays. (The light part of an x-ray image indicates a place where the x-ray was absorbed)

Slide 41

Too much exposure can cause cancer (lead vest at dentist protects organs from unnecessary exposure)

Slide 42

Used by engineers to check for tiny cracks in structures. The rays pass through the cracks and the cracks appear dark on film.

Slide 43

GAMMA RAYS Shorter wavelength and higher frequency than X-rays Carry the greatest amount of energy and penetrate the most.

Slide 44

Properties Have velocity equal to that of light. Have high penetrating power. They can penetrate through several centimeters thick iron and lead blocks. They have got small ionizing power. They can effect a photographic plate.

Slide 45

Properties They can produce heating effect in the surface exposed to them. They are not deflected by electric and magnetic fields. They knock out electrons from the surface on which they fall.

Slide 46

Used in radiation treatment to kill cancer cells. Can be very harmful if not used correctly.

Slide 47

Exploding nuclear weapons emit gamma rays.

Slide 48

Rayleigh Scattering When a photon penetrates into a medium composed of particles whose sizes are much smaller than the wavelength of the incident photon, the scattering process is elastic and is called Rayleigh scattering. In this scattering process, the energy (and therefore the wavelength) of the incident photon is conserved and only its direction is changed. In this case, the scattering intensity is proportional to the fourth power of the reciprocal wavelength of the incident photon. The scattering of electromagnetic radiation by particles with dimensions much smaller than the wavelength of the radiation, resulting in angular separation of colors and responsible for the reddish color of sunset and the blue of the sky.

Slide 49

Light Scattering When light encounters matter, matter not only re-emits light in the forward direction (leading to absorption and refractive index), but it also re- emits light in all other directions. This is called scattering. Light scattering is everywhere. All molecules scatter light. Surfaces scatter light. Scattering causes milk and clouds to be white and water to be blue. It is the basis of nearly all optical phenomena. Scattering can be coherent or incoherent.
