Altitude = Feet above sea levelMPH = miles per hour, the larger the mph, the faster

the sound travels.

He then moved the using sunlight. He then moved the prisms until they were on top of prisms until they were on top of each other. The result was white light.each other. The result was white light.

Magnetic Energy Wave

Electric Energy Wave

Light Wave

What is light? Light can be thought of as

a wave of electric and magnetic energy. Hence, it is called an electromagnetic wave.

The two forms of energy flow perpendicular to each other.

Light waves are waves of energy that can vary in size and shape.

Light Waves

Slide 27

Where do you think the light beam is the brightest?

A or B

Why?

Click to the next slide to find out…

Slide 28

Light waves transfer energy.

LIGHT ABSORPTIONWhen you shine a light.

As the light beam travels, some of the energy is absorbed by air particles.

The energy extends out.

Slide 29

But wait! There is another reason!

Slide 30

Air particles can release some of that energy that they had absorbed.

LIGHT SCATTERINGWhen you shine a light.

BUT

Light waves transfer energy to air particles.

When the light is released it scatters.

This scattering lets you see light outside the light beam, but it is dim because the light has been scattered.

Slide 31

READY FOR AN OPTICAL ILLUSION?

Slide 32

If you shine a light into a tank of water, what happens to the light beams when they hit the water?

a. The light beam bends

b. The light beams stays straight

What is this called?

Slide 34


In this example, the light wave is moving through two mediums, what are they?

a. Solid and gas c. Gas and solidb. Solid and solid d. Gas and liquid

Slide 35

Why does the light bend?

This side of the light

wave keeps going at its same speed.

This side of the light wave slows down when it hits the glass.

When the light moves from one medium to another, such as from air to glass, it slows down.

When the light hits the glass at an angle, the waves that hit first slow down first.

The waves that don’t hit the glass first are still going at their same, fast speed until they hit the glass.3R-48.0 Slide 36

WAYS

REFLECTION

Slide 39

ABSORPTION

Slide 40

TRANSMISSION

Transmission is the passing of light through matter.

So….is light transmitted through a window

Slide 41

TRANSMISSION

If light is transmitted through an object it is said to be transparent.

Transparent objects could be air, water, and clear glass.

Slide 42

TRANSMISSIONIf light the is transmitted and scattered it

is said to be translucent.

This shower door is an example of a translucent object.

Slide 43

TRANSMISSIONIf light is not transmitted through the

object, it is said to be opaque.

Light can’t go through the books

Or through this wall
