4. 95 Selective Transmission Think back to Activity 94, “Comparing Colors” What happens to the colors of light that do not pass through the colored films? Record your answer in your notebook.

5. 95 Selective Transmission Read the introduction and look for key ideas Sunlight is selectively transmitted through the stained glass window.

6. 95 Selective Transmission What part of sunlight is transmitted through selected films?

7. 95 Selective Transmission Complete procedure part A: Comparing Temperatures

8. 95 Selective Transmission Complete procedure part B: Comparing Ultraviolet SCORING GUIDE: Organizing Data

9. 95 Selective Transmission Do you think the light that is not selectively transmitted is reflected or absorbed? Share your thoughts with the class.

10. 95 Selective Transmission Analysis question 1 Which film transmits the most energy? What is your evidence?

11. 95 Selective Transmission Analysis question 2 What evidence from this investigation supports the idea that sunlight contains invisible waves that behave similarly, but not identically, to visible light waves?

12. 95 Selective Transmission Analysis question 3 Films, like the ones used in this activity, are commonly put on glass windows as energy-saving devices and to prevent sun damage. If the costs of the films A, B, and C from this activity are those listed below, which material would you choose to put on a. your car windows? b. windows in a home located in a desert? c. windows in a home located in a snowy mountainous region? Explain your choices, citing evidence from this activity. Explain any trade- offs you made. Film A: $20/m 2 Film B: $100/m 2 Film C: $50/m 2

13. 95 Selective Transmission What part of sunlight is transmitted through selected films?

14. 95 Selective Transmission Key vocabulary definitions Absorption - The process of taking in or taking up. Reflection - The light that is bounced off of an object or material. Transmission - The act of energy passing through a medium.

15. 95 Selective Transmission Key vocabulary definitions Trade-off - exchange of one thing in return for another. Giving up something that is a benefit or an advantage, in exchange for something that may be more desirable. Trade-offs always involve balancing benefits against risks.
