Do now: Answer Questions 5 & 6

2. Sponges absorb things. Mirrors reflect things
What does “absorb “ mean? What does “reflect”mean?
Reflect: means to “bounce back”
absorb means to “taken in” or “soak up”

3. the sun radiates insolation (sunlight)
the sun radiates insolation (sunlight). when the light reaches Earth’s surface, it is reacts based on the object properties.

4. EM energy (light) can interact with an object in three ways:
Absorption
Reflection
refraction

5. Absorption:
when light is absorbed (taken in) by the object.

6. Dark & rough materials are good absorbers of light energy.
Good absorbers of energy are also good radiators of energy.

7. Which clothes are bad for a hot sunny summer day? why?
The dark and rough clothes are bad for summer because they would absorb the most heat

8. The dark landscape: good absorbers are also good radiators
The dark landscape because:Dark & rough surfaces are good absorbers of energy.
Which surface would heat up more quickly & give off energy more quickly?
The dark landscape: good absorbers are also good radiators
Antarctica ice field

9. The dark landscape: good absorbers are also good radiators

10. Reflection:
When light bounces back after hitting a surface

11. *light & smooth surfaces are good reflectors of energy.

12. Fun fact: Humans see things because our eyes detect the light reflected off objects.

13. Refraction:
The bending of a light wave when it passes through a different medium.

14. Light refracts because it changes speed & bends when it passes through different substances.

15. A prism refracts white light into its parts
