A. Explain the features of the particle model.

1. Light particles travel in straight lines

until they strike a surface.

2. Light particles must be invisibly small

because they don’t scatter when beams of

light intersect.

3. Light particles must travel at very high

speed; light doesn’t bend appreciably as

would a stream of water exiting a fire

hose.

4. Solve problems involving the speed of

light.

5. Light particles are created by luminous

objects and reflected or absorbed by non-

luminous objects.

6. From any single point of an object,

countless streams of particles radiate in all

directions.

7. There are several particle-boundary

interactions

a. Particles bounce elastically

Specular reflection occurs when

light particles bounce off a smooth

surface whereas diffuse reflection

occurs when light particles bounce

off a rough surface

b. Particles can be absorbed

c. Particles can pass through the

surface and enter the new medium.

When they do so, they change

speed, and thus direction.

8. The intensity of light is related to the

number of particles that strike a given
