CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.0 Project Overview
This project will solve a problem among drivers of large vehicles to judge the distance
of objects behind accurately when reversing and driving. The sensor will detect the existence
of an object and it will send a signal to the driver when the vehicle moves closer to the object.
The functioning of this system as below:
i) The optoelectronics components will emit a signal to monitor an object behind.
ii) If the vehicle is closer to that object, the system will receive an early warning such
as beeping sound or visual.
iii) The photodetector will emit and receive a signal between the vehicles and object.
It also has many of advantages compare to copper wire.
Otherwise, the maximum distances between those two vehicles will be set up for the
system to monitor. A sufficient time also will be provided for driver to react to the alarm or
image and they will apply the brake and stop the vehicle when reversing or make a safety
with an object behind when driving.

1.3 Introduction to optoelectronics
The name of optoelectronics is a combination of optics and electronics but it is not
simply branch of electronics. It is the study of the interaction of light with matter, usually with
a view to technology applications. It encompasses layer physics, semiconductor and other
solid state physics and technology, non linear optics, quantum optics, waveguide physics and
geometrical optics.
In our lives, optoelectronics application is used everyday such as CD players and
optical fibers that carry long distance telephone calls. There are advantages of optoelectronics
principle and applications.

1.4 Basic principles of light
Light is a visible electromagnetic wave that propagates through space. Examples of
electromagnetic wave are ultraviolet radiation, infrared radiation, visual light and radio wave.
Light travels in straight lines and could not be seen through a wall of building unlike a band
that we can hear. Since in 17`h century, scientist have made a research on light and its
application. In 1642, Sir Isaac Newton proposed the corpuscular theory of light. According to
his theory, light was described as streams of tiny particles which are called corpuscles. This
corpuscular nature of light is consistent with light traveling in straight line.
Christiaan Huygens thought that light was a wave as laid down by wave theory of
light. In 1801, the British scientist Thomas Young proved that light was a wave according on
the interference of light experiments. In 1905, Albert Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize
after his explanation of the photoelectric effect. In photoelectric effect, a collection of photon
or quanta was needed. Photon is a particle that carries energy but has no mass and travels at
the speed of light [4]. Generally, the real nature of light is more complex to define either in
our wave or particle theory. Niels Bohr explained that both theories should be complimentary
to each other.
Light cannot travel through an opaque medium. It can travel though a vacuum. Light
wave consists of energy in the form of electric and magnetic field which referred as
electromagnetic radiation. The size of light wave is measured as its wavelength. Light wave
also exist in many of fequency. The unit of the frequency is waves per second or Hertz, while
the frequency of the visible light is referred to as color, red and violet. It also a wave of
energy and the amount of energy proportionally related to its frequency.

1.4.1 Definition of ray
The behavior of light not interested in the whole wave front, but purely in
terms of the direction of propagation and of any changes in that direction. Rays are a
line drawn to present the direction in which the light is traveling. The rays of given
wave are imaginary and straight line perpendicular to the wave fronts as shown in the
figure below.
Wave fronts
Figure 1.4.1: Rays corresponds to the direction of wave motion 21
Normally, rays cannot be seen but rays can be made visible when light is
scattered by, for example dust particle [20].
1.4.2 Refraction and Reflection
Refraction is a phenomenon where light is deviating from its ý`
path when traveling from one medium to another. Index of refraction, N, identifies
how the light traverses each medium. The value of N differs for different medium type
because the speed of light in those materials is different.
5
N is defined by-.
N=c/v
Where;
c=speed of light 3.8 x 108 ms-1
v = speed of light in a medium

Figures above zz explain that:
" a refracted ray is a beam that deviates as it travels from one medium to another
medium of refractive index n2
" r is the angle of refraction
" p is the interface between medium of refractive index nl and n2
" i is angle of incidence where the incident ray originates from the source n,
Law of refraction states that:
" Plane of the incidence defined that the incident ray, normal and the refracted my
located in the same plane.
6
" The angle of refraction r, is obtained from the relation:
nl sin l - n2 sin r
Reflection is a phenomenon when a light ray meets a reflecting surface such as
mirrors.
The law of reflection defined that angle of incidence is equal to the angle of
reflection, where:
A1=92
InciderE ray Reflected ray
Figure 1.4.2.3
Figure above u illustrates that:
An incident ray encounters a mirror surface at an angle of incident. It will be
reflected back into the same medium of incidence at an angle of reflection, which is
equal to the incident angle.
