Document Summary

We will explore the wave-particle duality of light, since light can behave both as a wave and as a particle. Electromagnetic spectrum is the collection of all types of light or electromagnetic radiation that exist in the universe. Main topics: light in everyday life, properties of light, light as a wave: electromagnetic wave, light as a particle: photon, electromagnetic spectrum of light, properties of matter, energy levels in atoms, absorption and emission of light in atoms. Important notes: make sure you view all of the. Interactive figures in the readings: you can omit all mathematical. Nasa videos in the playlist tour of the.
