1. Under what conditions can light be modeled like a ray? Like a wave? Wave fronts Opening is very wide device. -Opening is about the same size as A Figure 1.31 Huygens's principle applied to a plane wave front striking an opening. The edges of the wave front bend after passing through the opening, a process called diffraction. The amount of bending is more extreme for a small opening, consistent with the fact that wave characteristics are most noticeable for interactions with objects about the same size as the wavelength. 1. Light can be modeled as a ray when devices are large compared to wavelength, and as a wave when devices are comparable or small compared to wavelength.
