What is this a diagram of?
Electromagnetic spectrum
What colours make up the visible light?
• Red• Orange• Yellow• Green• Blue• Indigo• Violet
Match the wavelengths
• A) atom• B) bee• C) football field• D) bacteria
• A) x-rays• B) microwaves• C) radio waves• D) infrared
Sort these wavelengths from longest to shortest
A)How does light travel? B)What symbol is used to
show this?
• In a straight line
• A ray
Laser
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
Explain why see the red apple as “red”
White light hits the apple
But only red is reflected
Why do we see blue and yellow panes of stained
glass?
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
