Presentation on theme: "Light and Waves What causes a wave disturbance?"— Presentation transcript:

1 Light and Waves What causes a wave disturbance?
What is the source of electromagnetic waves? What is a photon? Is a photon best described as particle or wave?

2 Light and Waves What is the speed of light in a vacuum?
How fast can light travel around the earth? How long does it take light to reach earth from the Sun?

3 Light and Waves What are the frequencies of light and how do they compare? Which frequencies have the shortest wavelength? The longest? Which frequencies have the most energy? The least?

4 λ is the wavelength- the distance from crest to crest on a wave
Light and Waves C = λf The frequency (f) of a wave is the number of waves to cross a point in 1 second (units are Hertz – cycles/sec or sec-1) λ is the wavelength- the distance from crest to crest on a wave

5 Light and Waves What is transparent / opaque ?
What is the difference between a longitudinal and transverse wave? What is propagated in a wave?

6 Light and Waves

7 What is constructive interference? Destructive interference?
Light and Waves What is constructive interference? Destructive interference?

8 Light and Waves

9 Color Addition Primary Colors Red – Blue - Green
Adding Red + Blue = Magenta Adding Red +Green = Yellow Adding Blue + Green = Cyan Adding Red + Green + Blue = White

10 Magenta + Cyan + Yellow removes all primary colors = Black
Color Subtraction Primary Pigments Secondary Pigments Magenta – Yellow – Cyan Cyan removes Red Magenta removes Green Yellow removes Blue Magenta + Cyan + Yellow removes all primary colors = Black

11 Color Subtraction Color Rays 1 1 2 Blue Yellow Cyan
