The Photoelectric Effect
... no photoelectrons are emitted, no matter how much the intensity of the light is increased. However, when f>f0, the photocurrent increases proportionally with the intensity of the light. These observations are inconsistent with a classical wave model of light, and led Einstein to postulate in 1905 th ...

Rays and Optical beams
... Rays and Optical beams In geometrical optics, the propagation of optical waves can be described approximately by using the concept of rays. This is valid provided the beam diameter is much larger than the wavelength and the diffraction can be neglected. The rays travel in straight lines in homogene ...

Retroreflector
A retroreflector (sometimes called a retroflector or cataphote) is a device or surface that reflects light back to its source with a minimum of scattering. In a retroreflector an electromagnetic wavefront is reflected back along a vector that is parallel to but opposite in direction from the wave's source. The angle of incidence at which the device or surface reflects light in this way is greater than zero, unlike a planar mirror, which does this only if the mirror is exactly perpendicular to the wave front, having a zero angle of incidence.
