1. What is light??

2. Light is a form of energy that is created from a different form of energy There are two types Incandescence- Light from heat or high temperature Luminescence –Light from electron giving off energy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnMP1Uj2nz0 What are the source of light you know of and which one do you think it fits into?

3. Luminescence Sources Chemiluminescence- Light given off by a chemical reaction Bioluminescence- Light given off by a chemical reaction within an organism

4. Luminescence Sources Electroluminescence- Luminescence cause by electric currents https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BH9LI973H8w Cathodoluminescence- Electroluminescence cause by electron beams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp6tNaUvfNI

5. Luminescence Sources Fluorescence- Luminescence where energy is given off by the movement of electrons to non-excited state. Electrons are found in atoms. They can get excited and take in energy. When they release that energy it comes off as light photons. Phosphorescence- is a delayed light that is created because electrons are stuck in a high energy state and has not given off the energy as light yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLEHNYWQl68
