Today was a remarkable day (weather-wise). We read 1.6 Newton's Corpuscular Theory and Dispersion, and 1.7 Difficulties with Newton's Corpuscular Theory.
1.6 Newton's Corpuscular Theory
Dispersion - When white light passes through a prism, the light is refracted by different amounts, and the colors of the spectrum result
1.7 Difficulties with Newton's Corpuscular Theory
When light refracts, some of the light is reflected. newton had difficulty explaining the phenomenon of partial refraction, and partial reflection.
We were then given a sheet of different phenomena's, and were to explain supporting arguments, and counter arguments of the phenomena.
A surprise bus ridership was announced, thus cutting our class time by like 30 seconds. Bus ridership went quick.
That was basically it for that class so I guess the next scribe shall be:
Daureen wohoo!
