SPH 4U - Unit 4: Wave Theory of Light
Wave Theory of Light. Chapter 10 & Chapter 11 really focus on light as a wave, not as a particle. In Chapter 10 there is a review of wave theory and there are lots of applications here: polarized sunglases, 3D movies, and encoding information on CD's. In Chapter 11 we look at the experimental data and the math behind studying light as a wave.
Chapt. 10 - Light as a Wave
Chapt. 11 - Wave Interference
Labs & AssignmentsPhet Simulation of a water tank - click here - you might need to see how frequency & point separation affect the interference patter.
