SPH 4U - Unit 4: Wave Theory of Light

Picture
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.
