Presentation transcript:

Light Transmission Amplitude of excitation is low enough to not cause collisions between neighboring molecules. The beam then is transmitted consecutively across the material.

Glass Is Opaque to UV & IR IR & UV: Excitation amplitude is large → Lots of collisions! Initial energy from light lost to thermal energy Visible: Excitation amplitude is small → Collisions less likely Absorbed light beam gets re-emitted through material

Glass Protects you From Sunburn!

Pierre de Fermat

Theorem Proved!

Fermat’s Principle of Least Time Light will always take the path from one point to another that minimizes the time of its journey.

What About for Reflecting from a Mirror? Mirror Quantum mechanically, they all (including all the possibilities that have not been drawn) happen!

Transmission (Revisited) Visible light can pass through certain materials (e.g., glass). Question: Does the speed of light change in going from one transparent medium into another?

Transmission (Revisited) It takes time for the light to be re- emitted when captured → Slows down! Speed of light in medium Speed of light in vacuum Index of Refraction

Indices of Refraction for Various Materials

How Slow Can Light Go? In ultracold sodium (at temperatures around 1 nK = 1 x K): v = 17 m/s That’s about 38 miles/hour!

Which One Is The Shortest Distance? A B C

Which One Takes The Least Time? A B C Running → Fast Swimming→ Slow

Light Behaves the Same Way! As light enters from a medium with a LOW index of refraction to one with a HIGH index of refraction, the ray bends TOWARDS the normal. As light enters from a medium with a HIGH index of refraction to one with a LOW index of refraction, the ray bends AWAY FROM the normal.
