Question
Answer
Particle Theory   The theory that a light beam behaves the same way as a beam of particles  
🗑
Wave theory   The theory that light behaves as a wave  
🗑
Electromagnetic waves   A transverse wave composed of an oscillating electrical field and a magnetic field that oscillates perpendicular to the electrical field  
🗑
Dual nature   The concept that light has wave and particle characteristics  
🗑
Quantum-Mechanicle theory of light   A theory in which light is viewed as tiny packets of waves  
🗑
Visible spectrum   The spectrum of light that we can see with our eyes  
🗑
Electromagnetic spectrum   All light  
🗑
Ultraviolet light, x-rays, gamma rays   Lightwaves with wavelengths smaller than visible light  
🗑
Ultraviolet light   Has enough energy to kill living tissue on contact; Used for sterilizing  
🗑
X-rays   More than enough energy to kill living tissue on contact  
🗑
Infrared light   Light with wavelengths, just larger than visible light; ex. a space heater  
🗑
Radiowaves   Light with wavelengths larger than infrared light; ex t.v. radio and microwaves  
🗑
Reflection   when light or sound waves bounce off an obstacle  
🗑
Angle of incidence   /the angle of a original light ray  
🗑
Angle of reflection   Angle of the reflected light ray  
🗑
The Law of Reflection   The angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence  
🗑
Refraction   When light or sound waves begin to travel through an obstacle  
🗑
Law of Refraction 1   Whe light refracts into a substance, in which it must slow down, the light ray will bend, towards a line that it perpendicular to the surface that it strikes  
🗑
Law of Refraction 2   When light refracts into a substance in which it can speed up, the light ray will bend away from a line that is perpendicular to the surface that it strikes  
🗑
Fiberoptic   A surface allows no refraction, only reflection  
🗑
Converging lense   A lense that makes all horizantle light rays converge to a single point  
🗑
Diverging lense   A lense that bends light rays outwards  
🗑
Rods & Cones   Light sensetive cell in the retina of the eye  
🗑
Addative Primary Colors   3 colors that can create every color through combinations  
🗑
Subtractive Primary Colors   Clors that form the addative primary colors through combinations  
🗑
