1
Light and the Electromagnetic Spectrum
2
Light as a Wave light is a visible form of energy most of the energy that surrounds us is invisible this energy travels in waves made of electric and magnetic fields called Electromagnetic Radiation
3
Light as a Wave Electromagnetic Spectrum = the entire range of visible and invisible energy waves
4
Properties of Waves wavelength amplitude
5
Wavelengths of the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum
6
Wavelength and Colour
7
Seeing Colour
8
Pinhole Camera
9
How Light is Transmitted
10
Transparent: allows light to pass through Translucent: allows some light to pass through Opaque: allows no light to pass through
11
Light Reflection The reason we see objects is because they reflect light
12
Smooth Surface

Rough Surface
14
Reflection in a Plane Mirror
15
Activity 4.11 How Light Reflects
16
A B
17
Law of Reflection: When light reflects off a surface, the angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection i = r
18
Looking in a mirror
21
