Explain how we see objects (use a diagram)
Light travels from a source to an object
Light reflects from the object into our eyes
Identify the type of material used and the transmission:
glass
A)Transparent – light travels through
Wax pape
r
C)Translucent – some light travels through but is scattered, and some is reflected
Brick wall
B) Opaque – no light travels through it is all reflected
Why do we see blue and yellow panes of stained
glass?• The glass is
transparent so light travels through it
• There is a pigment in the glass, so that colour is transmitted (.i.e blue) and all other colours are absorbed.
Why do we see colours?
• We see colours because the come cells in our eyes respond to R, G, B wavlengths of light
What are complementary colours?
• Colours that are opposite each other on the colour wheel
• The secondary colour and the primary colour that are opposite each other
• i.e. red is complementary to cyan
