Light

Is a form of energy that travels in waves

Unlike sound, light does not need molecules to help it spread.

Allows people and animals to see things.

Light sources

Natural light                                                         

• The sun and stars
• Fire
• Lightening

Artificial light

• Lamp
• Telephone screen
• Laser

Visible spectrum

All the colors we can see with the naked eye.

Different colors of light have different frequencies.

Which color has the lowest frequency? The highest?

White light

White light is made of all the colors of the visible spectrum.

We can split white light into its colors by using a prism.

How do we see color?

The human eye sees color when light bounces (reflects) off an object and goes into our eye. The color of light that gets reflected is the color that we see.  

All other colors of light get 

absorbed by the object so that 

we don’t see them.

Seeing black and white

White objects reflect all the colors 

which together make the color white.

Black objects absorb all the colors 

so there is nothing left to see.

Colored light

Different colors of light can have an effect on what color an object appears to be.  

Learning Goals:

• I can explain what a light wave is and how it travels.
• I know what all the colours of the visible spectrum are, in order from lowest to highest frequency.
• I know that white light is a combination of all colours in the visible spectrum.
• I know what colours of light are reflected or absorbed based on an object’s colour.
• I know that white objects reflect all light and black objects absorb all light..
