Light And Optical Systems

Front 1

Pythagoras's theory

Back 1

he thought light consisted of beams from a persons eyes

Front 2

Euclid

Back 2

discovered that when you shine a light at a flat mirror, the angle between the incoming beam and the mirror is equal to the angle between the incoming beam and the mirror.

Front 3

Ptolemy

Back 3

describe how light beams bend when they go from air to glass.

Front 4

al-haytham

Back 4

accurately describe how vision worked: light bounces then travels to the eye.

Front 5

Isaac newton

Back 5

English scientist that explained rainbows. white light to prism are mixture of colours. and when transferred to another prism it'll turn white.

Front 6

ole romer

Back 6

made reasonably accurate measurement of the speed of light

Front 7

Albert a. Michelson

Back 7

refined ole romers measurement. he calculated the speed of light

Front 8

properties of light:

Back 8

travels in straight lines
can reflect
can bend
form of energy

Front 9

optical device

Back 9

any device that uses light. Mirror microscopes, telescopes, binocular

Front 10

Hans and Zacharias jansen

Back 10

first microscope

Hint 10

first microscope

Front 11

antonie von leeuwenhoek

Back 11

experimented his own microscopes to magnify small things.

Front 12

microbiology

Back 12

study of micro organisms

Front 13

microscope

Back 13

optical device used for viewing very small objects: objective lenses and the eyepiece lens.

Front 14

telescopes

Back 14

optical device for viewing distant objects: reflecting & refracting telescopes

Front 15

galileo

Back 15

made amazing discoveries with telescopes

Front 16

characteristics of a telescope

Back 16

magnifies
collects light

Front 17

refracting t.

Back 17

uses 2 lenses to form enlarge image.

Front 18

reflecting t.

Back 18

uses curved mirror and lens to form an enlarge image.

Front 19

binoculars

Back 19

viewing distant objects made up of 2 short refracting telescopes fitted together .
