1. Monday, January 9th Entry Task No entry task today. Find your seat.
Clear off your desk except for last week’s entry task, EM Waves booklet, and ISN open to Venn diagram.
Schedule:
17.3 The sun is the source of most visible light
Objective: I will explain how visible light is produced.
Homework:
17.3 RSG (ISN 122)
Please have on desk:
EM booklet to turn in

2. Visible Light Notes Sun (Natural Light) Uses Heat to create EM Energy
INCANDESCENCE

3. Visible Light Notes Incandescent bulb Lamps; Overhead lights
Uses electricity to create heat, which creates visible light
Lamps;
Overhead lights

4. Visible Light Notes Lamps; Fluorescent bulb Overhead lights
Gas inside of bulb responds to electricity by creating U.V. Light; Special coating absorbs U.V. Light and give off visible light.
More energy efficient than incandescent.

5. Visible Light Notes
Overhead projectors; Car headlights; large spotlights
Halogen Bulbs
Uses electricity to create heat which produces visible light (A form of Incandescent light).
More heat than incandescent bulb, but filament lasts longer.

6. Visible Light Notes Art; signs Neon Bulbs
Gas inside of tube (like neon or argon) responds to electricity by creating visible light
Type of gas determines color of light.
Art; signs

7. Visible Light Notes LED Bulbs Christmas lights; Stop Lights
Uses electricity to produces light (NO HEAT CREATED)
Light is less intense than other forms, so multiple bulbs are often used.
Christmas lights; Stop Lights

8. Luminescence

9. Visible Light Notes To see, mate or warn/hunt Bioluminescent
Uses chemicals reactions inside animals to produce light
To see, mate or warn/hunt

10. Tuesday, January 10th
Entry Task What kind of EM waves are also called “heat rays”?
Schedule:
17.4 Light Waves Interact with Materials
Objective: I can describe how the wave behavior of light affects what we see.
Homework
Spectroscope activity if not finished in class.
Please have on desk:
Journal, pencil, textbook

11. Polarization

12. Visible Light behaviors
Find and DESCRIBE (IYOW) the following terms (make sure to use LIGHT in each description)
Absorption
Transmission
Reflection
Give 2 examples of each of these behaviors using items in the classroom.

13. Possible Answer
Absorption – Light hits material and disappears (changes into another form of energy): Desk, Book Cart, Chairs
Transmission – Light hits material and goes through it: Windows, Plastic Bins, Soap Bottle, Air
Reflection – Light hits material and bounces off: Book, White Paper, American Flag

14. Visible Light Behaviors
Read page 574 and DESCRIBE (IYOW) the following and give examples from this room:
Transparent
Translucent
Opaque

15. Possible Answer
Transparent – all/most light passes (transmits) through them
Translucent – some light passes through(transmits), some reflected or absorbed
Opaque – all/most light is absorbed or reflected
