Rainbow Formation : Analyze the processes of light behavior in rainbow. Read facts
and information about it.
Interference :
Interference of light is the phenomena of multiple light waves interacting with one
another under certain circumstances, causing the combined amplitudes of the
waves to either increase or decrease
This pattern is called the wave interference pattern and is characterized by light
and dark bands. The light bands are a result of constructive interference and the
dark bands occur because of destructive interference. In the early 1800s, light
was assumed to be a particle.
Time dilation - Time dilation is the lengthening of the time interval between two
events for an observer in an inertial frame that is moving with respect to the rest
frame of the events (in which the events occur at the same location).
The angle of incidence is the angle between this normal and the incident ray; the
angle of reflection is the angle between this normal and the reflected ray.
According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence equals the angle of
reflection.
The sky appears blue to the human eye as the short waves of blue light are
scattered more than the other colours in the spectrum, making the blue light
more visible.
White light is a combination of all the lights. During sunrise/sunset, rays have to
travel larger distances and as red light scatters least, it is capable to reach our
eyes while rest of the components are scattered away. Hence, sky appears
reddish orange during sunrise or sunset.
