What is a real life example of a ray?
the light from a flashlight. you know the origin of light but you cannot measure exactly the distance the light travels or the sun's ray of light...same same Or Just an laser beam
How is light years related to scientific notation?
Scientist use "c" to denote the speed of light. For example: E=MC2 Energy = Mass time the speed of light squared.
What is the light hour?
The distance light travels in an hour. This unit is not used as frequently as the light-year, for example. Distances within the solar system might be expressed in light-hours, but another unit - the astronomical unit - is more commonly used.
What is a real life example of an opposite ray?
Darth Maul's double light saber because the rays from the light saber are going 2 different directions.
Can you give a real life example of dialation?
your eye's pupils expanding in the dark and shrinking in the light
What do you mean by rectilinear propagation og light?
Rectilinear propagation of light theory states that light travels in a straight line.
What is the principles on which a pinhole camera works?
Rectilinear propogation of light.
Who discovered rectilinear propagation of light?
Alhazen
What proof say that light travel in a straight path?
From rectilinear propagation of light.
On what property of light is the lightray model based?
light travels in a straight line(rectilinear propagation of light)
What are some examples of rectilinear motion?
A freely falling body A car moving along a straight road. Light too has rectilinear propagation.
Examples of rectilinear propagation of light in daily life?
Tyndall Effect and Formation of Rainbow
What are the Uses of light travels in a straight line in your daily life?
(1) The principle of camera depends on it (2)Periscope- its mode of action dpends on the rectilinear propagation of light
Can you say that shadow is the consequence of rectilinear propagation of light?
I could say that, although it would be simpler to say that shadows are made possible by the fact that light normally travels in a straight line.
What is linear propagation of light?
Lignt being a wave must express the phenomenon of bending at the edges. But this is not easily observed. This is mainly because of the shorter wavelength of light. Hence we come to the conclusion that light never bends and always travel in straight lines. This is what we call rectilinear propagation of light. This was successfully explained by Young and Fresnel with the concept of half period zones. Also light waves considered as transverse in nature.
Does light travel in a straight lineWhy?
Light travels in astraight line as it has the property known as the rectilinear prpogation of light.
What is pinhole camera used for?
it is used to prove the fact that light is rectilinear in motion
