Waves, Light, Sound and Color
3
Waves Transfer energy through matter or space
4
Waves May be longitudinal Or transverse
5
Waves
6
Waves travel through a medium such as: water air solids
7
Wave Properties reflection refraction interference
8
Wave Properties Diffraction: the bending of a wave around the edge of a barrier.
9
Reflection, refraction, diffraction and interference
10
Sound waves LLLLongitudinal waves NNNNeed a medium to travel through SSSSpeed of sound is 340 m/s in air
11
Water waves Water waves have transverse and longitudinal characteristics. Energy is transferred, but the particles stay essentially in the same place
12
Light: particle or wave?
14
Light particles are called photons
15
Light: Particle or wave? BOTH!! Light does not need a medium to travel through.
16
Doppler effect CCCChange in frequency and pitch of a sound. DDDDue to the motion of either the sound source or the observer. LLLListen!
17
Doppler effect of sound
18
Doppler effect in light As stars move away from earth, there is a shift in the light towards the red end of the spectrum.
22
Color When light strikes a surface, it can be transmitted, absorbed, or reflected
23
Transmission of light When light is transmitted, a substance is said to be transparent. The color that is transmitted is the color that reaches your eye.
24
Transparent objects transmit color Red glass absorbs all colors of light except red, which it transmits.
25
Absorption of light
26
Reflection and absorption of light Opaque objects reflect and absorb light. The color of an opaque object is the color it reflects.
27
Opaque objects reflect and absorb light This apple reflects red and absorbs all other colors.
28
Translucent objects transmit some light
30
Color Primary colors are red, green and blue. Primary colors may be combined to make white light.
31
Complimentary colors 2 colors that combine to form white light.
32
Primary colors of light together form white light. But primary pigments together make black. This is because they absorb all colors.
33
Bye-bye!
