Bending light – the art of refraction
Refraction is the change in the direction of a wave due to a change in its transmission medium. Said more simply its why the fork looks bent when it is put into a glass of water.
Filter out the unwanted
Optical filters are devices that selectively transmit light of different wavelengths.
Big Bulb Theory
Luminous flux is the measure of the perceived power of light. The scale takes into account the sensitivity of the human eye and, as such, differs from radiant flux.
Illumination Intensity
Luminous intensity is a measure of the power emitted by a light source in a particular direction adjusted for human's sensitivity to certain wavelengths. It differs from radiant intensity which measures total energy in a particular direction.
