4 Questions on Light

Jul 01, 2009 0 Replies

Hi..,


Case1:-



Excluding this reason: Persistence of vision.



Why do *Far* objects appear as "Small" to our eye?


Case2:-



How to determine the "Wavelength & Frequency" of the visible spectrum or most probably for the "Given" light without using the *speed of light* concept?


Case3:-



Hypothetical case: For 10min for the sake of discussion we will think that Light is *particle* in nature



then, how can we explain the concept of *colors* of the light?



Ibn al-Haytham(Alhazen) in his "Book of optics" voted for particle nature, then, why didn't he get any confusion while explaining the colors concept?



so as Newton..too..,


Case4:-



We didn't know what exactly is Light? or atleast what is a Photon?



then,



what's the principle behind the image sensor(CCD) in a camera? On what principle does it work?



(a) particle or (b) wave nature.

thnx for sharing :_)
