IN THIS PRESENTATION,WE ARE GOING TO SEE ABOUT LIGHT AND ITS USES

Light
"Visible light" redirects here. For light that cannot be seen with human eye, see Electromagnetic
radiation. For other uses, see Light (disambiguation) and Visible light (disambiguation).
The Sun is Earth's primary source of light. About 44% of the sun's electromagnetic radiation that
reaches the ground is in the visible light range.
Light is radiant energy, usually referring to electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human
eye, and is responsible for the sense of sight. Visible light is usually defined as having
a wavelength in the range of 400 nanometers (nm), or 400109 m, to 700 nanometers between
the infrared, with longer wavelengths and the ultraviolet, with shorter wavelengths. These
numbers do not represent the absolute limits of human vision, but the approximate range within
which most people can see reasonably well under most circumstances. Various sources define
visible light as narrowly as 420 to 680 to as broadly as 380 to 800 nm. Under ideal laboratory
conditions, people can see infrared up to at least 1050 nm, children and young adults ultraviolet
down to about 310 to 313 nm. Primary properties of visible light are intensity, propagation
direction, frequency or wavelength spectrum, and polarization, while its speed in a vacuum,
299,792,458 meters per second, is one of the fundamental constants of nature. Visible light, as
with all types of electromagnetic radiation (EMR), is experimentally found to always move at this
speed in vacuum. In common with all types of EMR, visible light is emitted and absorbed in tiny
"packets" called photons, and exhibits properties of both waves and particles. This property is
referred to as the waveparticle duality. The study of light, known as optics, is an important
research area in modern physics.
In physics, the term light sometimes refers to electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength,
whether visible or not. This article focuses on visible light.

REFRACTION

Refraction is the change in direction of a wave due to a change in its transmission

medium.
Refraction is essentially a surface phenomenon. The phenomenon is mainly in
governance to the law of conservation of energy and momentum. Due to change
of medium, the phase velocity of the wave is changed but its frequency remains
constant. This is most commonly observed when a wave passes from
one medium to another at any angle other than 0 from the normal. Refraction
of light is the most commonly observed phenomenon, but any type of wave can
refract when it interacts with a medium, for example when sound waves pass from
one medium into another or when water waves move into water of a different
depth. Refraction is described by Snell's law, which states that for a given pair of
media and a wave with a single frequency, the ratio of the sides of the angle of
incidence 1 and angle of refraction 2 is equivalent to the ratio of phase velocities
(v1 / v2) in the two media, or equivalently, to the opposite ratio of the indices of
refraction (n2 / n1):
In general, the incident wave is partially refracted and partially reflected; the
details of this behavior are described by the Fresnel equations.
