I hope everyone had a good halloween and lots of candies without cutting in front of little kids!
So today the first worksheet (from Friday) for The Nature of Light: Part II (The Wave and Particle Models of Light) was due - which required us to summarize the Tactile, Emission, Particle/Corpuscular, and Wave Theory of light as well as to make a diagram for each of them. If you did not get the chance to hand it in, do so as soon as possible. Term 1 ends this Friday, November 5!
Today's lesson went more into detail of Newton's Particle (Corpuscular) Theory of Light. We worked on a sheet titled Appendix 2.4: Chart for Evaluating the Models of Light; Model: Particle Theory. It is a yellow sheet in case you missed the class. You need it to know what the theory states, and also to know what is true about the characteristics of light particles! (I think..)
For homework to be handed in on Wednesday (half day tomorrow, yay!), please be sure to complete the worksheet called "Contribution to the Determination of the Speed of Light". You are to pick one person, and fill in each box on the sheet with the information needed. You can find what you need in the NOL Part 2 booklet, pages 8 to 11. Goodluck!
