Presentation Transcript

  1. L I G H T • Light carries energy • A light source (sun, light bulb) gives off light waves www.howstuffworks.com/ light-bulb.htm

  2. Light waves … • Are like the ripples in water when you drop a rock in it • Go out in all directions • Are called electromagnetic waves

  3. Light Wave Lengths are… • The distance between the tops of two adjacent ripples

  4. Frequency is… • The number of wave lengths that pass a point in one second. These are some examples of different wavelengths.

  5. Electromagnetic Spectrum • Electromagnetic waves are classified according to their wave lengths and frequencies • There are many light waves that we cannot see • We can only see a very small part of the electromagnetic waves

  6. Electromagnetic Waves • As the wave length decreases the frequency increases this decides what we can see.

  7. Questions • What is a light wave? • What is a light wave length? • What is meant by the frequency of a wavelength? • How are electromagnetic waves classified? • How much can we see of the electromagnetic spectrum of light?
