Light or visible light is electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, and is responsible for the sense

of sight.[1] Visible light has wavelength in a range from about 380 nanometres to about 740 nm, with a frequency range of about 405 THz to 790 THz. In physics, the term lightsometimes refers to electromagnetic radiation of any wave

A pinhole camera is a simple camera without a lens and with a single small aperture effectively a light-proof box with a small hole in one side. Light from a scene passes through this single point and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box. The human eye in bright light acts similarly, as do cameras using small apertures.elength, whether visible or not.[2][3]

Rectilinear Propagation of Light is the tendency of light to only travel in straight Lines. This means that if light "crisscrosses" between each other whilst going through a small hole, you will see the image upside down, as the light goes straight up from down, and down from up.In a homogenous transparent medium light travels in a straight line and this is known as rectilinear

A parallel beam is a collection of light rays in which the rays always remain the same distance apart. A convergent beam is a collection of light rays in which the rays slowly converge (come close together and finally meet at a point) as the beam progresses. A divergent beam is a collection of light rays in which the rays slowly diverge (go far apart stOptical medium is anything through which light energy can pass partially or totally.

Transparent medium is one which allows light energy to pass through almost completely. Hence, all objects are visible and can be clearly seen through transparent media such as water and clear glass. Translucent medium is one which allows light energy to pass through partially (but not completely). Hence, objects are visible but they cannot be clearly seen through translucent media such as frosted glass and thin tissue paper. Opaque body is one which does not allow light energy to pass through at all.

Hence, objects cannot be seen through opaque bodies such as wood and metal. Shadow is a dark patch formed behind an opaque body when it is placed in the path of light. It consists of two regions, the umbra and the penumbra. Umbra is the region of total darkness where no light enters. Penumbra is the region of partial darkness which surrounds the umbra.

Eclipse is the shadow cast by the heavenly bodies on each other.

Solar eclipse is caused when the moon is between the sun and the earth. The moon occasionally becomes aligned between the sun and the earth. Viewed from parts of the earth, the moon covers the sun partially or totally. This blocks the light and causes a brief period of darkness known as a (partial or total) solar eclipse. When the moon occasionally becomes precisely aligned between the sun and the earth, it covers the center of the sun perfectly. Only an annular ring of sunlight appears around the moon's shadow.

This type of solar eclipse is called an annular eclipse.

Lunar eclipse is caused when the earth is between the sun and the moon. The earth at times becomes aligned between the sun and the moon. When this happens, the earth blocks light from the sun and cast its shadow across the moon. Viewed from the earth, this shadow crossing the moon is known as a lunar eclipse. The lunar eclipse occurs more frequently and lasts for longer time periods than the solar oint) as the beam progresses propagation of light.
