The Properties of Light 1. Reflection A beam of light in a dense medium → Scattering mostly in the forward direction A beam of light across an interface → Some backward scattering. Reflection The change of n over a distance > λ → Little reflection The change of n over a distance < λ /4 → Abrupt interface Internal and External Reflection Unpaired atomic oscillators → Reflection Indep. of glass thickness

Beam I : External reflection (n ni t< )

Beam II : Internal reflection (n ni t> ), 180o phase shift Huygens’s Principle Every point on a primary wavefront behaves as a point source of spherical secondary wavelet. The secondary wavelets propagate with the same speed and frequency with the primary wave. The wave at a later time is the superposition of these wavelets. Rays A ray is a line drawn in the direction of light propagation. In most cases, ray is straight and perpendicular to the wavefront A plane wave is represented by a single ray. A. The Law of Reflection A plane wave into a flat medium ( λ >> atomic spacing) → Spherical wavelets from the atoms.

→ Constructive interference only in one direction.

• The characteristic color comes from selective absorption

Example: (1) Yellow stained glass White light → Resonance in blue → Yellow is seen at the opposite side ↑ ↑ Red + Green Strong absorption in blue

(2) H O2 has resonance in IR and red → No red at ~30m underwater (3) Blue ink looks blue in either reflection or transmission Dried blue ink on a glass slide looks red. → Very strong absorption of red. Strong absorber is a strong reflector due to large nI . Resonance of materials Most atoms and molecules → Resonances in UV and IR Pigment molecules. → Resonances in VIS Organic dye molecules → Resonance in VIS • Subtractive coloration Blue light → Yellow filter → Black at the other side ↑ It removes blue
