As your EXIT PASS today, you will write the word and draw a picture. For your homework tonight, you will copy the definition and write your own sentence. Those who come with finished flashcards on Wednesday will get to play a game. Those who do not will have tutoring on Thursday or Friday.

4. EM Spectrum White Board Review— “Who am I?” (Please use your notes from last class to remind you about the EM spectrum. Use your whiteboard to show the name of the EM wave.) 1.“I am the most dangerous EM wave. You must protect yourself from me.” 2.“On a cloudy day I can burn your skin, but I help you make Vitamin D.” 3.“Couch potatoes use me to watch TV.”

5. 4. “I can be used to take a picture inside your body.” 5. “You get warm when you receive my heat energy.” 6. “I am the radio wave you use to heat your food quickly or send a text to your bestie.” 7. “I am the only EM wave that your rods and cones can see.” 8. “What is our order from lowest to highest energy?”

Use your notes to explain how you know it is true or not. 12L

8. Statement Agree or Disagree? (Before) Agree or Disagree? (After) How do you know? Give an example? (After notes) 1. For you to see an object, light from the object has to reach your eye. 2. When light strikes an object, the light can be reflected, transmitted, or absorbed. 3. A transparent material transmits most of the light that strikes it. 4. A translucent material scatters light as it passes through it. 5. An opaque material reflects or absorbs all of the light that strikes it. 12L

10. 6/ 6/11 Notes: Visible Light (page 47) What is needed for you to see? 1.LIGHT source gives off light waves. 2. Light waves strike an object. 3. Light waves are reflected off the object and into the eye. 12R

11. Notes: Visible Light and the color of objects (page 47-48 )-- What is needed for you to see? 1.LIGHT source = where light waves come from.  Primary source: makes its own light  Example: sun  Secondary source: reflects light off of a primary source  Example: mirror and flashlight

12. 2.Light waves strike an object.  Transparent Object (Example: Plastic Wrap)  Transmits all the light  allows light to pass through  Result: Object looks invisible and can see through it  Translucent Object (Example: Wax Paper)  Some light is transmitted (passes through)  Most light is scattered (reflected and spread out)  Result: Object not invisible; can see some light on the other side of it  Opaque Object (Example: Foil)  Reflects  some light bounces off and back out  Absorbs  some light stays inside the object  Result: Object is visible and cannot see through it

13. 3. Light waves are reflected off the object and into the eye. Please go back to the AGREE/DISAGREE statements on page 12L and fill in the green and blue columns!!! Use your notes to help you.
