Chapter 35 Light: Reflection and Refraction
... Chapter 35 Light: Reflection and Refraction 35.1 Ray Optics It is natural to treat the propagation of light in terms of rays. A ray is equivalent to a very narrow beam of light, and it indicates the path along which the energy of the wave travels. Geometrical optics is the study of the behavior of s ...

... If you shine light of a particular wavelength onto metal you can get the electrons to come off of the metal if the light has high enough frequency (thus energy). The minimum threshold energy where electrons begin to come off the metal is called the “work function”. Photoelectric effect is an example ...

Thomas Young (scientist)
.jpg?width=300)
Thomas Young (13 June 1773 – 10 May 1829) was an English polymath and physician. Young made notable scientific contributions to the fields of vision, light, solid mechanics, energy, physiology, language, musical harmony, and Egyptology. He ""made a number of original and insightful innovations""in the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs (specifically the Rosetta Stone) before Jean-François Champollion eventually expanded on his work. He was mentioned by, among others, William Herschel, Hermann von Helmholtz, James Clerk Maxwell, and Albert Einstein. Young has been described as ""The Last Man Who Knew Everything"".
