27 Light Light is the ONLY thing you see! All visible objects either emit or reflect light.

27 Light Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window glass, allow light to pass through.

27 Light Value for the speed of light is 299,920 km/s, which is usually rounded to 300,000 km/s The Speed of Light

27 Light The electromagnetic spectrum consists of radio waves, microwaves, infrared, light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays Electromagnetic Waves

27 Light Light energy is emitted by vibrating electric charges. The vibration are perpendicular to the motion of the wave. Creates a transverse wave. This energy travels in a wave that is partly electric and partly magnetic. Such a wave is an electromagnetic wave. No need for a medium 27.3 Electromagnetic Waves

27 Light The range of electromagnetic waves is called the electromagnetic spectrum Electromagnetic Waves

27 Light What are the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum? 27.3 Electromagnetic Waves

27 Light Light passes through materials whose atoms absorb the energy and immediately reemit it as light Light and Transparent Materials

27 Light Light is energy carried in an electromagnetic wave, generated by vibrating electric charges. Materials that transmit light are transparent. Glass and water are transparent Light and Transparent Materials

27 Light In a vacuum, the speed of light is a constant 300,000 km/s; we call this speed of light c. Light travels slightly less than c in the (gas) atmosphere, but the speed is usually rounded to c. In water, light travels at 75% of its speed in a vacuum, 0.75c. In glass, light travels at about 0.67c, depending on glass type. When light emerges from these materials into the air, it travels at its original speed, c. Electromagnet waves are slower when traveling through a medium, the denser the medium the more it slows down Light and Transparent Materials
