3. Light and Color What is light?
Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is emitted from a high energy source such as a star or a light bulb.
When particles vibrate at a high enough speed, they will produce visible light energy. In a star, light is a product of nuclear energy. In a light bulb, electricity is being transmitted through a wire until it glows.
When light is emitted, it is white. When there
is no light, then objects will appear black.

4. Light and Color What is light?
Light travels in waves. Visible light can be broken into a spectrum based on the wavelength.
Red has a longer wavelength.
Blue has a shorter wavelength.
The colors formed create a
rainbow when separated by
wavelength.

5. Light and Color How does light travel?
Light travels in waves travelling in a straight line radiating from its source in a forward direction.

6. Light and Color How does light interact with objects?
When light strikes an object, the light can be reflected, transmitted, or absorbed.
These sunglasses are reflecting some
light. As you can see through them,
they are letting some light through.
BUT, the image appears darker, so some light is being absorbed.

7. Light and Color Classifying materials
Most materials can be classified as transparent, translucent, or opaque based on what happens to light that strikes the material.
All light pass through without being scattered.
Some light passes through and it is scattered.
NO light passes through. It may cause a shadow.
Transparent
Translucent
Opaque
Window
Air
Frosted glass
Waxed paper
Walls
Wood

8. Light and Color What determines color?
The color of an opaque object is the color of the light it reflects.
Objects may appear a different color if you look at them under different colored lights or filters.

9. Light and Color What determines color?
Materials that are transparent or translucent allow only certain colors of light to pass through them.
The color of a transparent or translucent object is the color of the light it transmits.
Ex. When white shines through transparent blue glass, the glass appears blue because it transmits blue light.

10. Light and Color Light Pigment How do colors combine?
green + red = yellow
green + blue = cyan
red + blue = magenta
Pigment
yellow + magenta = red
yellow + cyan = green
magenta + cyan = blue

11. Light and Color Reflection
The two ways in which a surface can reflect light are regular reflection and diffuse reflection.
Regular
Parallel rays of light hit a smooth surface.
All the light rays reflect at the same angle so you see a clear image.

12. Light and Color Reflection Diffuse
Parallel rays of light hit an uneven surface.
Each light ray reflects at different angles.
You either don’t see an image or the image is not clear.

13. Light and Color Reflection and Mirrors
There are two types of images produced by a mirror.
A virtual image forms where light seems to come from. Your image appears to be behind the mirror. The image is also reversed.
A real image forms when light rays actually meet. It can be projected onto a surface. Real images are upside down.

14. Light and Color Reflection and Mirrors
Curved mirrors have a focal point where the light rays meet.
A concave mirror curves inward and can produce a real or virtual image
A convex mirror curves outward and produces a virtual image that is always smaller than the object.

15. Light and Color Transmission of light
When light passes through a material, the path will change.
The wave bends at the surface because it changes speed. This is because light travels differently through each material. As it passes from surface to the next, it is refracted.
This is why a straw appears to bend in a glass of water.
A prism will bend the light so that each wavelength of color separates to form a rainbow.

It does not matter what order you complete #1-7.
The PVC pipe in Activity #5 will travel around the classroom and you will complete this part when it is your groups turn.
Activity #1 is at the teacher workstation. Each group will takes turns to complete this activity.
#8 should be completed last.
When using lasers do not point in a person’s eyes - If a person deliberately stares into a laser, even a small 1 milliwatt beam could cause a spot on the retina.
