Light energy: JAMB Physics Past Questions and Answers
What the JAMB syllabus covers in Light energy
Our summary: Sources of light and how it travels, makes shadows and eclipses, and forms a pin-hole image.
- Sources of light ((i) natural and artificial sources of light; (ii) luminous and non-luminous objects.)
- Propagation of light ((i) speed, frequency and wavelength of light; (ii) formation of shadows and eclipse; (iii) the pin-hole camera.)
Objectives
- compare the natural and artificial sources of light;
- differentiate between luminous and non-luminous objects;
- relate the speed, frequency and wavelength of light;
- interpret the formation of shadows and eclipses;
- solve problems using the principle of operation of a pin-hole camera.
