The objective here is to enable students to understand that light can be thought of as a wave or as particlesDifferent models of light explain different phenomena. It is important to get a sense of the history of how light was understood, how electromagnetism was understood and how light is the result of  continuously oscillating electric and magnetic fields.

The view among scientists on light was split between wave and particle nature of light.  Issac Newton proposed his corpuscular theory while Christian Huygens proposed that light is a wave.  Reflection and refraction can be explained using particle theory of light and geometric optics supported the particle theory of light.

The objective here is to enable students to understand that light can be thought of as a wave or as particles.  Different models of light explain different phenomena.  It is important to get a sense of the history of how light was understood, how electromagnetism was understood and how light is the result of  continuously oscillating electric and magnetic fields.
 +
 
 +
Overwhelmingly evidence was in favour of light as a wave until a discovery was made that light could make metals emit electrons.  Click [http://karnatakaeducation.org.in/KOER/en/index.php/Photoelectric_Effect_and_LASER here] to see about photoelectric effect.
 +
 
 +
Studies done on how light travels has helped us visualise it now as changing electrical magnetic fields that interact with other material objects as packets of energy. This radiation can be thought of as waves of different wavelengths. The waves are not of material objects but travelling waves changing electric and magnetic fields. Different wavelengths are associated with different energy levels and different kind of radiation. Different wavelengths are associated with different energy levels and different kind of radiation. The electromagnetic spectrum consists of wavelengths varying from hundredths of a nanometre to hundreds of metres. Visible light falls within the wavelength range of 400 to 800 nm (1 nanometre = 10-9 m) and is a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Blue light has the smaller wavelength – around 400 nm and red light is around 800 nm. Ultra-violet rays, X rays and gamma rays are more energetic and shorter wavelengths (more later!) and infra red, heat radiation and radio waves are longer wavelengths and lower energy levels.
 +
 
 +
It is the peculiar nature of sub-atomic particles that they can be treated as particles – in interactions - or as probability waves when we are considering location in space. In the case of light we find that we can associate it with particles – called photons. These are often also known as messenger particles and current theory has it that the movement of energy occurs by the creation and destruction of these virtual particles starting from the source of the energy till the point when it reaches the user of the energy. Different photons have different wavelengths associated with them. Each photon can be treated as a packet of energy and the amount of energy associated with the particle is given by the equation Energy E = hυ where υ is the frequency associated with the wavelength and h is the Planck's Constant. (Remember that the velocity of a wave is given by c = υλ where λ is the wavelength of the associated wave) This means that there is a wavelength associated with the photon particle and this is the wavelength we refer to when talking about the wavelength of light. Since wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency we can see that the shorter wavelength photon has the greater energy. What this means is that the smallest unit of energy associated with each wavelength is fixed this is the energy of 1 photon of that wavelength. Of course, if there are more photons then there is more energy. But more energetic photons can penetrate matter more than less energetic photons – that is why X rays are not stopped by flesh and muscles but only by bones but light gets bounced off the human body.

#What is electricity?
 +
#What is magnetism?
 +
#Both of these are field forces and these constitute a fundamental force called Electromagnetism
 +
#When the circuit was on there was a field generated; we can think of this as information; this resulted in the deflection of the compass (We will see later how the deflection happens - the magnitude and direction)
 +
#In the case of the dynamo, what did we observe? The rotating magnet created a field and this caused a potential difference and resulted in the light
 +
#Electric and magnetic fields thus produce change in each other
 +
#In the simulation what did we see? When the electric field changes, the magnetic field changes avnd this continuous oscillation results in energy being produced which is Electromagnetic Radiation
 +
#This can behave like a wave or particle; light is an electromagnetic radiation

===Learning objectives===
 +
#Oscillating electric and magnetic fields produce electromagnetic radiation
 +
#The Sun emits radiation of all wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum

#It is possible to look at light and other electro magnetic radiation as a wave or as a particle known as the photon.
  −
#Light travels as electromagnetic radiation; with waves of different wavelengths
  −
#Light interacts with material particles in discrete packets called photons
  −
#Different wavelengths are associated with photons of different energies
