1. Light and optics

2. What is light? (Radiant Energy)
Light is energy we can see, it can be synthetic or natural
White light is a mixture of all colors found in a rainbow

3. Natural Light Found in nature Most abundant Examples:
The Sun, Fire, bioluminescent organisms (they make own light and glow)

4. Synthetic Light (Man Made)
Incandescent : high temperatures give off light, (light bulb)
Fluorescent: particles absorb invisible light and turn it into visible light
Chemiluminescent: chemicals give off light
Phosphorescent: light is absorbed into something and give off light once originally light is removed

5. How does light behave Transparent: light travels through it
Translucent: allows some but not all
Opaque : no light goes through it at all

6. Types of reflection in you notes predict which behavior will occur
