Presentation transcript:

What is visible light? Electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength that irritates the nervous receptors in the eyes. ROY G BIV Primary colors of visible light Composed of particles of energy called: Photons or Quanta

Once a photon of light strikes an object two things happen: 1.Some of the energy is absorbed. 2.Some of the energy is reflected. The absorbed energy is converted to heat or another type of energy The reflected energy is the color that we see when looking at the object. PHOTON Energy Absorbed Energy Reflected
