OPTIC
Study light and its phenomena
Physical optics
:
Study light taking into account
wave phenomena
Quantum optics
:
Study light taking into account that
it is made up of small particles
Geometric optic
:
Study light rays that propagate
in straight lines
Thomas Young
: He demonstrated the wave nature of light
James Clerk Maxwell
: He demonstrated that light travels at a velocity of3×10^8 m/s
Christian Huygens
: He formalizes the wave theory of light.
Leonardo da Vinci
: Was the first to
relate light, sound and water.
Epicurus of Samos
: Considered that light
was emitted in the form of rays.
Pythagoras
Indicates that light is
emitted by luminous bodies.
Democritus
: He described light as
the opposite of darkness.
Rudolf Hertz
: showed that wave phenomena affect light
Albert Einstein
: Explained the photoelectricity effects
Electromagnetic Spectrum
is the set of wavelengths of all electromagnetic radiation
Visible Spectrum
It is the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye ranging from a wavelength of 400nm to 700nm.**
Types of Mirror
Plane Mirror
mirror that forms virtual images and hasn't curvatures
Spherical Mirror
Concave Mirror
: the reflective surface is the inside part of the sphere
Convex Mirror
: the reflective surface is the outside part of the sphere
Types or ray
Focal Ray
: Which passes through the focus and is reflected parallel to the axis of the mirror
Main Ray
: It passes through the center of the curvature and is reflected along the length of the trajectory of the original ray.
Parallel Ray
: He who travels parallel to the main axis
Total Internal Reflection
: When a ray of light passes from a denser medium to a less dense one
Refraction
: When a ray of light strikes a surface and returns to its original medium
