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

13 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 Object distance vs. Image Distance
