Nature of Light Part 2

Sorry, I forgot to blog yesterday...

So what we did yester day was just a review for the test today.

Topics:
Newton's Corpuscular Theory
Wave Theory of Light
Young's Experiment
The Photoelectric Effect
The Principle of Complementarity and Light

For the test you should be able to:
- know the supporting and counter arguments for the particle and wave theories of light:
Rectilinear Proopagation
Reflection
Refraction
Dispersion
Diffraction
Partial Reflection/Refraction
Speed of Light
-The Different Scientists that contributed to our current knowledge of light:
Galileo, Roemer, Huygens, Fizeau, Foucault, Michelson
-The Equation from Young's Experiment
Wavelenght = ((x)(d))/L
where: x- distance between two successive
d- distance between the two slits
L- distance between the slits and the screen
