Particles, Waves, and Photons

Particles, Waves, and Photons Information and Lessons

1. Physics and the Bible: What Is Light? – Lambert Dolphin discusses the nature of light,
   considering both the wave and particle models, and looks at the velocity
   of gravity as a clue to the speed light had ‘in the beginning.
   
2. Physics for Kids- Light - Overview of visible light and how it reacts in the real
   world.
   
3. Timeline in Optics - This is an excellent site that highlights the important events and developments in the science of optics from prehistory to the end of the 20th century. It also includes related developments in other
   fields (e.g. computers) and related milestones. It does include a minor “millions of years” reference in the prehistory section but the details in the other entries make up for this error you can overlook. Click on the
   dates to go to in-depth easy to understand details.
   
4. The Amazing World of Electrons and Photons – Teaches the concepts of modern physics by using the
   interactive medium of the Internet with animated images, videos, sound effects, and drawings to make the content more realistic
   
5. The Wave Theory of Light – This site explains the history of the wave theory of light
   from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
   
6. Wave Express - In Wave Express, you will learn about the early theories of light and sound and the recognition of their wavelike properties. You will delve into the basics of what a wave is and how it travels. For
   centuries, light and sound have captivated the minds of the inquisitive. Early philosophers and scientists studied light and sound and began to associate their behavior with that of waves. This site is designed to give
   you the flexibility that cannot be captured in a textbook.
   
7. Wave-like Behaviors of Light - A high school tutorial from The Phyics Classroom.
8. Football Physics: Atoms and Photons – This site has several video clips showing basic physics
   concepts that play an important role in the game of football.To see these
   clips, you’ll need QuickTime.
   
9. Funky Photons – Offers unique interactive visual systems, illumination
   devices, light sculptures, and other funky objects incorporating light.

1. Photonics Gives a New Way of Controling Light – Research at the University of Bath is pioneering the development of photonic crystal fibres. These optical fibres are able to harness the power of light in many new ways, enhancing existing applications and leading to many new ones.
2. Physics Overview of Phonton Model of Light - Theories are tested by explaining data and making predictions. Analyzing properties of light have led scientists to the photon model of light.
3. Einstein’s Photon Model of Light - The classical wave model of light predicts that the kinetic energy of electrons ejected by the photoelectric effect will increase as the intensity of the light shown on the metal increases
4. Electromagnetic Waves and Light – To understand light we need to understand a larger group of energy known as electromagnetic waves. Learn more about electromagnetic waves on Discovery Channel’s “Assignment Discovery.
5. Elements of Physics: Light - Light moves through space as a wave. Light waves are electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic spectrum of light shows the component colors of light.
