1. Light :
 light, electromagnetic radiation that can be

detected by the human eye. Electromagnetic
radiation occurs over an extremely wide range
of wavelengths, from gamma rays with
wavelengths less than about 1 × 10−11 metre
to radio waves measured in metres. Within that
broad spectrum the wavelengths visible to humans
occupy a very narrow band, from about 700
nanometres (nm; billionths of a metre)
for red light down to about 400 nm for violet light.
The spectral regions adjacent to the visible band
are often referred to as light
 infrared at the one end and ultraviolet at the other. The speed
of light in a vacuum is a fundamental physical constant, the
currently accepted value of which is exactly 299,792,458
metres per second, or about 186,282 miles per second.
The physicist is interested in the physical properties of light,
the artist in an aesthetic appreciation of the visual world.
Through the sense of sight, light is a primary tool for
perceiving the world and communicating within it. Light from
the Sun warms the Earth, drives global weather patterns, and
initiates the life-sustaining process of photosynthesis
Sources of Light :
 Natural Sources
 Examples of natural sources of light or
name two natural sources of light- Sun,
Stars, etc.
 Pictures of natural sources of light
 Artificial Sources
 Torch, Candle, Bulb, Lamp, etc. are
examples of artificial sources of light.
 Light refers to electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength, whether it is visible or not.
 Electromagnetic radiation in terms of wavelengths can be organised as radio, microwave,
infrared, the visible region that we perceive as light, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays.
The way electromagnetic radiation functions is based on its wavelength. Higher
frequencies tend to have shorter wavelength whereas lower frequencies tend to have
longer wavelengths.
 Atoms release and absorb light at their own optimum energies and therefore produce
emission lines in the spectrum for each atom. Emissions can occur at any time as light
emitting diodes or gas discharge lamps such as neon lamps etc. However emissions may
also be stimulated for example in a laser.
 There are two basic types of light sources: Incandescence and Luminescence.
Incandescence :
 Incandescence involves the vibration of entire atoms, for example

when atoms are heated to high optimum temperatures the thermal
vibration is released as electromagnetic radiation. Incandescent
light or "black body radiation" is produced when light comes from a
heated solid. Depending on the temperature of the material the
photons released vary in their energies and colors, at low
temperatures the materials emit radiation in infrared wavelengths.
In black body radiation the trend follows as the temperature
increases the peak shifts to shorter wavelengths, firstly produces a
red then white and lastly a bluish-white color as the peak moves
into the ultraviolet part of the spectrum from the visible part, an
example of this is when metal is heated.
Luminescence :
 Luminescence light is produced when an electron emits some of its

energy as electromagnetic radiation. During specific energy levels
electrons need to have energy. When electrons jump down to lower
energy levels a certain amount of energy which becomes light of a
specific color is released. Generally speaking to maintain continuous
amounts of luminescence, the electrons require a continuous push to
be pushed up to higher energy levels so that the cycle continues. This
push or "kick" can be provided for by a range of sources - for example
neon lights, fluorescence light, electrical currents, bioluminescence
e.g. - even animals like fireflies.
