Hey friends, do you see the light? Why? How?
![Page 3: Science of Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55524523b4c905954f8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What Is Light? In this PowerPoint presentation:
1) Properties of light2) Colours3) Reflection - Mirrors4) Refraction - Lenses
![Page 4: Science of Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55524523b4c905954f8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Properties of Light
Light travels in straight lines:
Laser

2.Light travels much faster than sound. For example:
1) Thunder and lightning start at the same time, but we will see the lightning first.
2) When a starting pistol is fired we see the smoke first and then hear the bang.

3.Light travels VERY FAST – about 300,000 kilometres per second or 186,000
miles per second.
At this speed light could travel the equivalent of 8 times around the world in one second!

4.Light can create shadows
Shadows are places where light is “blocked”:
Rays of light

We see things because they reflect light into our eyes!
This is literally the only way we get to see things! ALL
objects we see either create light or reflect light!!

Light is a form of energy called Electromagnetic Radiation.
Electromagnetic Radiation comes from the sun and other sources
![Page 14: Science of Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55524523b4c905954f8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Properties of Light summary1) Light travels in straight lines and is a form
of energy2) Light travels much faster (a million times
faster!) than sound3) We see things because they reflect light
into our eyes4) Shadows are formed when light is blocked
by an object5) Visible light is only a small part of the
electromagnetic spectrum; the other parts are invisible to the human eye but not necessarily the eyes of other animals.

Part 2 - Reflection and Mirrors
![Page 16: Science of Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55524523b4c905954f8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Regular vs. Diffuse Reflection
Smooth, shiny surfaces have a regular reflection:
Rough, dull surfaces have a diffuse reflection.
Diffuse reflection is when light is scattered in different directions
![Page 17: Science of Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55524523b4c905954f8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Review of Reflection1. Two types of reflection, regular and diffuse
2. Mirrors come in 3 types: plane, convex and concave. Each has a distinct shape and use.
3. Mirrors can make virtual images or real images depending on their type
4. Virtual images - light rays do not meet and the image is always upright or right-side-up
5. Real images - always upside down and are formed when light rays actually meet
![Page 19: Science of Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55524523b4c905954f8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Using mirrorsTwo examples:
1) A periscope
2) A car headlight
![Page 20: Science of Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55524523b4c905954f8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Types of Mirrors: Plane, Concave, Convex
Plane mirrors are flat and make “virtual images”. The images is “virtual” because the light rays do not come from the image, they only appear to
![Page 21: Science of Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55524523b4c905954f8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
![Page 22: Science of Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55524523b4c905954f8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Concave Mirrors are curved inward - just remember, you go “in” to a cave, and “in” to a concave mirror!
![Page 23: Science of Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55524523b4c905954f8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
![Page 24: Science of Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55524523b4c905954f8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Convex mirrors are mirrors that curve outward
Convex mirrors are used for security purposes, in cars etc. They allow us to see a wide view. The images they make are virtual

Refraction• Refraction is when waves speed up or slow down due to travelling in a different medium
• A medium is something that light waves will travel through
• Light rays are slowed down by the water
• Causes the ruler to look bent at the surface
• The mediums in this example are water and air .
![Page 27: Science of Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55524523b4c905954f8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The degree that light bends when it enters a new medium is called the “index of refraction”
![Page 28: Science of Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55524523b4c905954f8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Light hitting at anangle is bent
Light hitting straight on is not bent
![Page 29: Science of Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55524523b4c905954f8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Review of Refraction1. Light rays slow down when they
enter a new medium
2. Refraction can cause light rays to change their direction
3. All transparent materials have their own “index of refraction”
4. Light is refracted when it passes through lenses and this creates images
![Page 30: Science of Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55524523b4c905954f8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

ColorPart 3 - Color In this section of the
PowerPoint you will learn about color and how we can mix colors to create other colors. We will also learn how light helps us to see various colors around us.
![Page 32: Science of Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55524523b4c905954f8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
ColourWhite light is not a single colour; it is made
up of a mixture of the seven colours of the rainbow.
We can demonstrate this by splitting white light with a prism:
This is how rainbows are formed: sunlight is “split up” by raindrops.
![Page 33: Science of Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55524523b4c905954f8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The colours of the rainbow:
RedOrangeYellowGreenBlue
IndigoViolet
Just remember ROY G. BIV
![Page 34: Science of Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55524523b4c905954f8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Adding colours of lightWhite light can be split up to make
separate colours. These colours can be added together again.
The primary colours of light are red, blue and green:
Adding blue and red makes magenta (purple)
Adding blue and green makes
cyan (light blue)
Adding all three makes white again
Adding red and green makes yellow
![Page 36: Science of Light](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55524523b4c905954f8b47ed/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Seeing colourThe colour an object appears depends on
the colours of light it reflects.
For example, a red book only reflects red light:
White
lightOnly red light is
reflected

A white hat would reflect all seven colours:
A pair of purple trousers would reflect purple light (and red and blue, as purple is made up
of red and blue):
Purple light
White
