Ray Approximation
Light that can be approximate through vectors.
Light ray
Straight line.
Absorption
When materials take in light energy
Example of Absorption
Our school blazers absorb every color except green, which is why we see them as green.
Spectral Reflection
What reflects light rays at the same angle.
Diffuse Reflection
What reflects light rays at different angles due to different textures.
Refraction
The bending of light at the interface between two substances.
Example of Refraction
Straw in a glass of water.
Destructive interference
Two close waves resulting in one wave becoming longer (diminished).
Constructive interference
'In phase' magnifies the original wave (brightens).
Factors Affecting Colors by Thin Film
Incident wavelength/frequency, thickness of the film, index of the refraction.
Index of Refraction
Property of the material that can determine how much light bends in that material.
