What is the difference between a shadow formed by a point source of light and a extended source?
The shadow formed by the point source of light has a screen blocking it. So it is very precise and only forms an umbra. Whereas the other is not as precise and forms an umbra and a penumbra.
What do we see that the amplitude of a wave produces?
The amplitude of a wave produces the intensity of the wave. With a light wave, it is the intensity of the light, with a sound wave, it is how loud the sound is
Why is candle a primary light source?
because its main source that gives it to light is one of the main source of light
Can you explain why the moon is not a source of light?
The moon is not a source of light because it simply reflects the suns light, therefore it is not a direct source of light
Why the sun is the primary source of light?
the sun is the primary source of light
What is an extended source of light?
it is helping somes people
What does amplitude determine in light?
amplitude will determine the brightness in light or the loudness in sound.
Why is an extended source used in newtons ring experiment?
extende source is required to get nearly parallel rays of light
What does the amplitude of a light wave determine?
The amplitude of a light wave shows the light's brightness relative to waves of similar wavelength.
How can an electric bulb be considered as an extended source of light an as point source of light?
Either, depending on the situation. If you look at it from far away, the light seems to come from a single direction, and can be simplified as a point-source. If you are very close, the light comes from different directions, and such a simplification is no longer correct.
What will happen if a point source is used instead of extended source in Newton's ring experiment?
The rings may formd but the lack of intensity of light,the dark and light rings are not vissiable very well..
what is amplitude?
Amplitude refers to the amount by which something is displaced from the middle of its periodic motion. It can mean the maximum disturbance from the neutral position of a wave. It represents the intensity of a vibration, e.g. the loudness of a sound.
A light waves brightness depends on the?
amplitude of the light wave!
What property of light is reflected by the amplitude of a light wave?
brightness
What happens to the wave and color of the wave when you increase or decrease the amplitude?
You seem to be talking about a light wave. If you increase the amplitude the light gets brighter, and if you decrease it gets dimmer. Amplitude has no effect on colour.
What happens to the wave and the color of the wave when you increase or decrease the amplitude?
You seem to be talking about a light wave. If you increase the amplitude the light gets brighter, and if you decrease it gets dimmer. Amplitude has no effect on colour.
