Light Light is Wve Light is refrted in lenses. Light diffrting round two fingers (look lose) uses s of drkness: destrutive interferene. Light must e wve! Light is Prtile Light n trvel through the vuum of spe, ut wves n t trvel in vuum. So light must e prtile! Light is Both This ontrdition perplexed sientists for mny, mny yers, ut the evidene must e elieved: light is oth wve nd prtile. Pkets of light we ll photons. Speed of Light: 3 x 10 8 m/se Origins of Light nd Color Sound is fst: 340 m/se, ut light is fster: 3 x 10 8 m/se! Tht s 3 with 8 zeroes or 300,000,000 m/se. Light n irle the erth 27 times in one seond! Sientists now elieve tht nothing n go fster thn light. The speed of light is the ultimte speed limit. Photons (light) ome from eletrons flling from high eletron orits to low orits. These orits re lso lled energy levels. 8p 10 Energy n rise n eletron to higher energy level. energy in 8p 10 When the eletron flls k, photon is given off: light! photon out (lue) Beuse eh element hs different numer of protons, eh element hs slightly different eletron energy levels nd gives off different olors. From their olors we n tell the hemil mkeup of strs. The sky is lue euse oxygen toms give off lue photons. Visile Light White light in Prism Wht we ll visile light is mde up of mny different olors. Eh olor hs different wvelength nd different frequeny. Rinow out Red Ornge Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet A prism uses refrtion to seprte the different wvelengths (olors) of visile light. The first letters spell: ROY G BIV Colors hve Different Energies You know tht different olor flmes give off different mounts of het. Red flmes re the oolest nd lue flmes re the hottest. As you move from Red to Blue, light GAINS energy. White light is mde up of ll olors. Tht is why white flme is the hottest!

Inndesent Light Inndesent (norml )light uls mke light y very high het. The filment glows right when enough eletriity flows through it. Inndesent light is very ineffiient euse most of the energy is lost s het. filment Inndesent Lightul Types of Lights Fluoresent Lightul Fluoresent lights re four times more effiient thn inndesent uls. 3/4 of the energy of n inndesent ul is lost to het. Fluoresent Light In fluoresent light uls eletriity exites gs inside, emitting mostly UV light. The white oting on the outside of the ul sors the UV light nd emits white light. Light is trnsverse wve (virting 90 o to the diretion of motion). Norml light is hoti, with trnsverse wves moving in ll diretions. A polrizer llows only light going one diretion to go through (like om). norml light polrizer Polriztion polrized light 2nd polrizer turned 90 o no light gets through 2nd polrizer Only light in one diretion n get through polrizer.

Glow-in-the-Drk Lsers LASER Light Amplifition y Stimulted Emission of Rdition Glow-in-the-drk (photoluminesent) s ontin the element phosphorous. When phosphorous eletrons re energized, they ome down few t time, giving off light over time. When ll the eletrons hve fllen the phosphorous goes drk. Visile light rehrges them (rising them up) so tht they give off light gin. How Lsers Work Lsers give off light of one prtiulr wvelength. This omes from foring sustne (usully gs) to give off light. This light ounes k nd forth etween mirrors, using other toms to give off more light.
