Lets finish collecting our lab data. Go to your last station. LIGHT AS WE KNOW IT Take out your What is light lab
WHAT PROPERTIES OF LIGHT HAVE YOU DISCOVERED?
Emission Transmission Reflecting/Scattering Absorption Dispersion Polarization Diffraction EMISSION
A light bulb emits visible light; the energy of the light comes from electrical potential energy supplied to the light bulb. TRANSMISSION Some forms of matter, such as glass or air, transmit light, which means allowing it to pass through.
REFLECTING/SCATTERING Light can bounce off matter leading to what we call reflection (when the bouncing is all in the same general direction) or scattering (when the bouncing is more random). ABSORPTION
When you place your hand near an incandescent light bulb, your hand absorbs some of the light, and this absorbed energy warms your hand. These bananas absorb all colors of light except yellow. Instead yellow is scattered, so the bananas appear yellow!
CHECKPOINT What is emission? What is transmission?
What is reflecting/scattering? What is absorption? DISPERSION When white light travels through a
prism it disperses into a rainbow, showing that white light is made up of all the color we can see. POLARIZATION When light passes through a polarizing filter it is only allowed to vibrate in one
direction. Light cannot pass through two polarizing filters that are set 90 degrees from one another. DIFFRACTION When a wave encounters an obstacle, or a slit
is diffracts and a pattern is produced on a screen. CHECKPOINT What is dispersion?
What is polarization? What is diffraction? 404 Jump to Details of light properties
PowerPoint WHAT IS LIGHT? How does light behave like a particle? How does light behave like a wave?
IS LIGHT A PARTICLE OR A WAVE? IS LIGHT A PARTICLE OR A WAVE? Wave-Particle Duality says that light exhibits both wave and particle properties. This duality addresses the inability of classical concepts like particle and wave to fully describe the behavior of light.
This is a central concept in quantum mechanics. PHOTONS A photon is one particle of light that obeys the wave-particle duality of light.
PROPERTIES OF PHOTONS Wave-particle duality Photons always want to travel at the speed of light in a vacuum:
Every photon has a specific frequency and wavelength that obey the equation: f is the frequency of the photon (Hz) Lambda is the wavelength of the photon (m) PROPERTIES OF PHOTONS Photons have energy that obey the
equation: h is Plancks constant: E is the energy measured in Joules (J) BELLRINGER 2 MINS TO HAND IN Explain Heisenbergs

THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM LIGHT BEYOND THE RAINBOW
Gamma Rays, X-Rays, Ultraviolet, Visible, Infrared, Microwaves, and Radio Waves are all part of the electromagnetic spectrum. They are all electromagnetic rays We can only detect visible electromagnetic waves with our eyes, but this doesnt mean the visible waves are a different type of wave than the ones we cant see.

Inferno Plain RADIO WAVES TV, FM, AM, Wifi, cell phones Wavelength Football field to a baseball Can you hear radio waves?
Most people associate the term radio with sound, but radio waves are a form of light with long wavelengthtoo long for our eyes to see. Radio stations encode sounds as electrical signals and broadcast the signals as radio waves. What we call a radio in daily life is an electronic device that receives these radio waves and decodes them to re-create the sounds played at the radio stations.-The Cosmic Perspective MICROWAVES AND

X-Ray machines Wavelength Protein to a water molecule What could you see with X-ray vision? The X-rays that the doctor or dentist holds up are not a form of light; they are just pieces of film. The images of
your bones and teeth are made with the help of a special machine that works somewhat like the flash on an ordinary camera but emits x rays instead of visible light. This machine flashes the x rays instead of visible light, and the x rays that are transmitted through your body are recorded on film. Thus, what you see is the image left by these x rays, not the x rays themselves -The Cosmic Perspective GAMMA RAYS
Radioactive elements Wavelength Water molecule to even smaller Is all radiation dangerous? Many people associate the word radiation with danger. However, the word radiate simply means to spread out from a center (radius-radiation). Radiation is energy being transmitted through space.
High-energy forms of radiation, such as particles from radioactive materials or x rays, are dangerous because they can penetrate body tissues and cause cell damage. Low energy forms of radiation, such as radio waves, are usually harmless. THE FULL SPECTRUM How much more do you think we could learn about the universe if we could see
