  4. Course content & sequence

  5. Optics Nature of Light

  6. Nature of Light • Particle • Isaac Newton (1642-1727) • Optics • Wave • Huygens (1629-1695) • Treatise on Light (1678) • Wave-Particle Duality • De Broglie (1924)

  7. Young, Fraunhofer and Fresnel(1800s) • Light as waves! • Interference • Thomas Young’s (1773-1829) double slit experiment • see http://members.tripod.com/~vsg/interf.htm • Diffraction • Fraunhofer (far-field diffraction) • Augustin Fresnel (1788-1827) (near-field diffraction & polarization) • Electromagnetic waves • Maxwell (1831-1879)

  8. Max Planck’s Blackbody Radiation (1900) • Light as particles • Blackbody – absorbs all wavelengths and conversely emits all wavelengths • The observed spectral distribution of radiation from a perfect blackbody did not fit classical theory (Rayleigh-Jeans law)  ultraviolet catastrophe
