We pulled a Friday…so let’s review.
• Before we can – we need to step back and take a look at our eye:

Cornea – transparent covering, helps focus the lightIris – colored part that controls the amount of light that entersPupil – opening that appears blackLens – focuses light onto retinaRetina – tissue on the back of the eye
Rods - brightness receptors, see in the darkCones - color receptors
Optic nerve – carries info to your brain, cause the blind spot

• We will review the various “near sighted” and “far sighted” issues and how physics can help us understand our eye appointments when we draw lens diagrams next week.

To save energy costs, find the bulbs with the light output you need, then choose the lowest watts.
Brightness is based on LUMENS not WATTS.

Dispersion
• is the separation of light into different colors
• occurs because different colors have slight changes in the speed of light (and thus different indices of refraction).

Polarization• Light is a transverse wave.• Luminous sources give off
light in all transverse directions (unpolarized).
• A "polarizing filter" (or polarizer or polaroid) makes light go in one transverse direction.
• A second polarizer in the same direction passes light; at a right angle blocks light.
![Page 24: Light Effects blue skies and rainbows! Let’s re-group and re-view](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e565503460f94b4df23/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Glare and Sunglasses
• Glare is the light reflecting off a horizontal surface. It is horizontally polarized.
• Polarized sunglasses are vertical polarizers; they block the horizontal glare, and pass some of the unpolarized light you want to see.
![Page 25: Light Effects blue skies and rainbows! Let’s re-group and re-view](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e565503460f94b4df23/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Laser Safety
1. Always know where your beam is going.2. Never point towards faces or eyes.3. If only one person can see the beam, it is
strong enough to blind.4. Turn off when you are done.

Absorbtion• Opaque objects absorb all light; no
light passes through.• Translucent objects absorb some
light, and scatter the other light so it does not pass through clearly.
• Transparent objects pass light through.
• Colored objects absorb some colors of light; the other colors are reflected or transmitted.
