Cahaya/Optik
Introduction
• Cahaya adalah gelombang yang memindahkan tenaga tanpa perambatan massa.
• Di dalam ruang hampa warna –warna mempunyai
kecepatan perambatan yang sama, tetapi frekuensi dan panjang gelombang masing-masing warna berbeda-beda
• Cahaya merupakan gelombang transversal yang termasuk gelombang elektromagnetik.
Sifat-sifat Gelombang Elektromagnetik
1. Gelombang elektromagnetik dapat merambat
dalam ruang tanpa medium
2. Merupakan gelombang transversal
3. Tidak memiliki muatan listrik sehingga bergerak
lurus dalam medan magnet maupun medan
listrik
4. Perubahan medan listrik dan medan magnet

Law of Reflection
The angle of
incidence equals
the angle of
reflection.
The incident ray
strikes the mirror.
Refraction
• Light rays may bend as they cross a boundary from one material to another, like from air to water.
• This bending of light rays is known as refraction.
Refraction
When a ray of light crosses from one material to another, the amount it bends depends on the difference in index of
Index of refraction
The ability of a material to bend rays of light is described by the
Snell's law of refraction

Dispersion
•
When white light passes through a glass prism, blue
is bent more than red.
Dispersion
• The variation in refractive index with color is called
dispersion.
• A rainbow is an example of dispersion in nature.
• Tiny rain droplets act as

Mirrors, Lenses, and Images
•
Objects are real physical
things that give off or
reflect light rays.
•
Images
are pictures of
objects that are formed
in space where light

Advantages of Laser
• Low Beam Divergence (“Small
dot”)
• Nearly Monochromatic (“narrow
