Presentation Transcript

  1. Properties of Light • When light strikes an object it is:

  2. Properties of Light • When light strikes an object it is: • Reflected

  3. Properties of Light • When light strikes an object it is: • Reflected • Transmitted

  4. Properties of Light • When light strikes an object it is: • Reflected • Transmitted • Absorbed

  5. Properties of Light • What happens to the light depends on the material

  6. Properties of Light • What happens to the light depends on the material • Transparent (clear) materials- transmit light

  7. Properties of Light • What happens to the light depends on the material • Transparent (clear) materials- transmits light • Translucent (see through) materials- scatters the transmitted light

  8. Properties of Light • What happens to the light depends on the material • Transparent (clear) materials- transmit light • Translucent (see through) materials- scatters the transmitted light • Opaque (not see through) materials- absorbs and reflects

  9. Properties of Light • Color of objects is the color it reflects • Ex- an orange is orange because it absorbs every color BUT orange, instead it reflects orange

  10. Properties of Light • Color of objects is the color it reflects • Ex- an orange is orange because it absorbs every color BUT orange, instead it reflects orange • If you do not shine orange light on it, it will appear black

  11. Properties of Light • Color of objects is the color it reflects • Ex- an orange is orange because it absorbs every color BUT orange, instead it reflects orange • If you do not shine orange light on it, it will appear black • Black is the absence of color, white is the blending of all colors

  12. Properties of Light • Reflection- when an object or wave bounces back off a surface

  13. Properties of Light • Reflection- when an object or wave bounces back off a surface • Law of reflection- angle made from incoming wave = the angle made from reflected wave

  14. Properties of Light • Refraction- bending of light waves due to a change in speed

  15. Properties of Light • Refraction- bending of light waves due to a change in speed • Lens- curved glass or transparent material that refractslight

  16. Properties of Light • Refraction- bending of light waves due to a change in speed • Lens- curved glass or transparent material that refracts light • Convex lens- thicker in the center than the edges (bends light in)

  17. Properties of Light • Convex lens- thicker in the center than the edges (bends light in) • Concave lens- thinner in the center than the edges (bends light out)
