Light: Three models• Newton’s particle model (rays)
– Models light as bits of energy traveling very fast in straight lines.
• Huygens’s/Maxwell wave model– Models light at waves (transverse EM waves). Color
determined by frequency, intensity by square of a total oscillating amplitude.
• Einstein’s photon model– Models light as “wavicles” == quantum particles
whose energy is determined by frequency and that can interfere with themselves.

Modeling in Biology
Are there examples in biology where you also need different models ?
Each model highlights different properties of the protein- Hydrophobic character- Folding property

Reason for multiple models
• Each “model” of light highlights a particular characteristic of light (just like each model of a protein highlights a particular aspect of what proteins are and how they work)

Light: Purpose of the three models• Newton’s particle model (rays)
– Models how light interacts with mirrors and lenses
• Huygens’s/Maxwell wave model– Models cancellation and interference
• Einstein’s photon model– Models absorption and emission of light

Foothold Ideas 1:Light as Rays - The Physics
• Through empty space (or ~air) light travels in straight lines.
• Each point on an object scatters light, spraying it off in all directions.
• A polished surface reflects rays back again according to the rule: The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
![Page 22: Chapter 10 - Light](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050914/584978681a28aba93a8f7c7e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Foothold Ideas 2:Light as Rays - the perception
• We only see something when light coming from it enters our eyes.
• Our eyes identify a point as being on an object when rays traced back converge at that point.
![Page 23: Chapter 10 - Light](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050914/584978681a28aba93a8f7c7e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Light travels through a transparent material in straight lines called light rays.
The speed of light is v = c/n,where n is the index of refraction of the material.
Light rays do not interact with each other.
Two rays can cross without either being affected in any way.

Light interacts with matter in four different ways:At an interface between two materials, light can be either reflected or refracted.Within a material, light can be either scattered or absorbed.
The Ray Model of Light

An object is a source of light rays. Rays originate from every point on the
object, and each point sends rays in all directions.
The eye “sees” an object when diverging bundles of rays from each point on the object enter the pupil and are focused to an image on the retina.

Objects can be either self-luminous, such as the sun, flames, and lightbulbs, or reflective.
Most objects are reflective.

The diverging rays from a point source are emitted in all directions.
Each point on an object is a point source of light rays. A parallel bundle of rays could be a laser beam, or
light from a distant object.

Rays originate from every point on an object and travel outward in all directions, but a diagram trying to show all these rays would be messy and confusing.
To simplify the picture, we use a ray diagram showing only a few rays.

Kinds of Images: Virtual• In the case of the previous slide, the rays
seen by the eye do not actually meet at a point – but the brain, only knowing the direction of the ray, assumes it came directly form an object.
• When the rays seen by the eye do not meet, but the brain assumes they do, the image is called virtual.
• If a screen is put at the position of the virtual image, there are no rays there so nothing will be seen on the screen.

Most objects are seen by virtue of their reflected light. For a “rough” surface, the law of reflection is obeyed
at each point but the irregularities of the surface cause the reflected rays to leave in many random directions.
This situation is called diffuse reflection.
It is how you see this slide, the wall, your hand, your friend, and so on.

Two things happen when a light ray is incident on a smooth boundary between two transparent materials:1. Part of the light reflects
from the boundary, obeying the law of reflection.
2. Part of the light continues into the second medium. The transmission of light from one medium to another, but with a change in direction, is called refraction.

When a ray crosses a boundary into a material with a lower index of refraction, it bends away from the normal.
As the angle θ1 increases, the refraction angle θ2 approaches 90°, and the fraction of the light energy transmitted decreases while the fraction reflected increases.
The critical angle of incidence occurs when θ2 = 90°:
The refracted light vanishes at the critical angle and the reflection becomes 100% for any angle θ1 > θc.

The most important modern application of total internal reflection (TIR) is optical fibers.
Light rays enter the glass fiber, then impinge on the inside wall of the glass at an angle above the critical angle, so they undergo TIR and remain inside the glass.
The light continues to “bounce” its way down the tube as if it were inside a pipe.

Green glass is green because it absorbs any light that is “not green.”
If a green filter and a red filter are overlapped, no light gets through.
The green filter transmits only green light, which is then absorbed by the red filter because it is “not red.”
