Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that travels in waves or particles called photons. It comes from the sun and stars, where electrons in atoms get excited and jump to higher orbits. When they fall back down, they emit photons of light. The color of light depends on the energy level of the electron jump. Light can act as both a particle and a wave, traveling at 300 million meters per second. When light interacts with matter, it can be transmitted, reflected, absorbed, or scattered depending on the object. Astronomers study light from stars to learn about their composition, temperature, and movement.

Colour
ColourMahesh Rathva
Ìý
Color or colour (see spelling differences) is the visual perceptual property corresponding in humans to the categories called red, blue, yellow, green and others. Color derives from the spectrum of light (distribution of light power versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the light receptors. Color categories and physical specifications of color are also associated with objects, materials, light sources, etc., based on their physical properties such as light absorption, reflection, or emission spectra. By defining a color space, colors can be identified numerically by their coordinates.Light and Color

Light is electromagnetic radiation that can behave as both a particle (photon) and a wave. It travels at 300 million meters per second in a vacuum. When light interacts with matter, it can be transmitted, reflected, scattered, absorbed, or refracted. The color of light depends on its wavelength, with shorter wavelengths like blue having higher frequencies and energies than longer wavelengths like red.Light

Light is important because it allows us to see. There are two types of light: natural light from the sun, moon, stars, and fireflies, and artificial light made by humans like candles and light bulbs. Light travels very fast in straight lines and can pass through some materials, like glass, while being blocked by others, like wood, causing shadows. When light interacts with materials it can be transmitted, reflected, or absorbed, and reflected light causes rainbows and shadows.Light

Light is a form of energy that enables us to see and allows plants to perform photosynthesis. It travels in straight lines and can be natural sources like the sun or artificial sources that use man-made power. Materials are either opaque and block all light, translucent and block some light, or transparent and allow all light to pass through. Shadows are formed when light is blocked and their size, shape, or length can be changed by manipulating the position of the light source or object.Light!

Light is radiant energy that allows for vision. It travels very fast at around 300,000 km/s and comes from the sun as the main natural light source. There are two types of light - natural from sources like the sun, and artificial that is man-made such as light bulbs. Objects can be transparent and let all light pass through, translucent and let some light pass through, or opaque and not let any light pass through. Light interacts with objects and the environment in various ways such as reflecting, transmitting, scattering, and causing shadows, rainbows, and colors.Light Energy

Light energy is electromagnetic radiation consisting of electrical and magnetic energy. It is emitted by electrons in objects and travels in waves across the electromagnetic spectrum. Absorption occurs when light is not reflected or transmitted by an object, with different colors absorbed and reflected. Reflection is when light bounces off a surface, like in mirrors. Transmission is when light passes through a medium without being absorbed or scattered. Refraction is the bending of light waves changing direction as they pass between substances. Scattering causes light to bounce off objects in many directions, as seen with the blue sky and halos around the sun.Light final for me

Light travels in straight lines and can be reflected or refracted. There are three types of materials: transparent, translucent, and opaque. Shadows are formed when an object blocks light. The length and shape of a shadow depends on the position of the light source and object. An experiment was conducted to determine which material - transparent plastic, tissue paper, or black paper - makes the darkest shadow. Black paper produced the darkest shadow because it is opaque and does not let any light pass through.LIGHT 1

Light is a form of electromagnetic energy that travels in waves at a speed of approximately 186,000 miles per second. It can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed when it interacts with different materials and surfaces. Visible light is made up of different wavelengths that correspond to the colors of the rainbow, with red having the longest wavelength and violet the shortest. Lenses and prisms can bend light through refraction, causing the different wavelengths to separate, which is how rainbows and spectrums are formed.Sources of Light

Light is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived by the human eye. It behaves both as a wave and as particles called photons. Light travels in straight lines at a constant speed and contains wavelengths that correspond to different colors. When light interacts with matter, it can be reflected, refracted, diffracted, dispersed, or polarized. Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface, refraction when it changes direction passing between media of different densities, and diffraction when it spreads out around obstacles. Dispersion separates light into a spectrum, and polarization reduces the oscillation of light waves. Early humans imitated the sun's natural light with fire, then candles and oil lamps, and now use electricity for illumination.COLOR_OF_LIGHTS.ppt

Radiant energy is a form of energy that can travel through space in the form of electromagnetic waves. It is transmitted from the sun to the Earth through a vacuum via electromagnetic waves like visible light. Electromagnetic waves are induced when electric and magnetic forces interact, and they can travel through space, air, or solids at the speed of light. When electromagnetic waves come into contact with objects, they cause the particles in those objects to move, transferring their energy and doing work.Light and it's properties-1 copy.pptx

3) Colors are a result of light reflecting or transmitting specific wavelengths, and objects appear different colors depending on the wavelengths of light reflected towards our eyes.Light

This document summarizes key developments in the understanding of light from ancient Greek philosophers to present day. It describes early theories that light consisted of particles (Pythagoras, Newton) or waves (Aristotle, Huygens, Young), experiments measuring the speed of light (Galileo, Roemer, Maxwell), the establishment of light as electromagnetic radiation, and the modern understanding of light exhibiting both wave and particle properties.CHAPTER 8 Light 1.pptx

Plane mirrors form virtual images that cannot be projected on a screen. Concave mirrors are used by dentists to magnify images of teeth and for applying makeup. Convex mirrors are installed at dangerous corners of roads and in supermarkets to prevent theft. When light hits mirrors, it follows the laws of reflection where the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection and the incident ray, normal, and reflected ray are in the same plane. Refraction occurs when light passes from one medium to another of different density, causing it to change direction. This is why objects in water appear closer or bent. Prisms disperse white light into a rainbow spectrum due to differing refraction of colors. Scattering of light by particles in theLight

Light is important because it allows us to see. There are two types of light: natural light from the sun, moon, stars, and fireflies, and artificial light made by humans like candles and light bulbs. Light travels very fast in straight lines and can pass through some materials, like glass, while being blocked by others, like wood, causing shadows. When light interacts with materials it can be reflected, like in mirrors, or broken into a spectrum or colors, as seen in rainbows.Light & optics

Light is electromagnetic radiation that travels at about 300,000 km/s. It can be emitted from luminous objects like stars or reflected from illuminated objects like the moon. Light carries energy and information, travels in straight lines, and can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed when interacting with objects. The human eye detects light via photoreceptors in the retina that send signals to the brain, allowing us to see color.Light color-sl
- 1. What is light? We see light as color and brightness It’s actually electromagnetic radiation: Partly electric, partly magnetic Flows in straight line (radiates)
- 2. Where does light come from? • The Sun and stars. • But how do they make light? • It all starts with ATOMS • A nucleus surrounded by electrons that orbit. • Like the planets in the solar system, electrons stay in the same orbit, unless…
- 3. Where does light come from(2) • Electrons get kicked into a different orbit • This doesn’t happen very often in solar systems, but it does in atoms • If you add energy to an atom (heat it up), the electrons will jump to bigger orbits. • When atom cools, electrons jump back to original orbits. • As they jump back, they emit light, a form of energy
- 4. Color of light • Each electron that jumps back emits one photon of light • What color is this light? • Depends on how big the jump between orbits was • The bigger the jump, the higher the energy. • The energy determines color; a blue photon has more energy than a red • Shine all the colors together, you get white light!
- 6. Light as particle • A photon is like a particle, but it has no mass • Think of a photon as a grain of sand. • We see so many photons at the same time it’s like seeing all the sand on a beach; we don’t notice the single grains • When light hits film in a film camera, it acts like photons.
- 7. Light as a wave • But sometimes light acts like a wave • A wave has a wavelength, a speed and a frequency. • We’ll learn more about wave behavior when we talk about polarization • All light travels same speed (in vacuum) • The energy goes up as frequency goes up • Color depends on frequency • Wavelength gets shorter as frequency goes up
- 8. Speed of light • Light travels at 300,000,000 meters/second • It takes 8 minutes for a light wave (or a photon) to travel from the sun to the earth. • We see the moon because it reflects the sun’s light • It takes 1 second for light reflected off the moon to reach the earth.
- 9. Light and matter • When light hits something (air, glass, a green wall, a black dress), it may be: • Transmitted (if the thing is transparent) • Reflected or scattered (off mirror or raindrops) • Absorbed (off a black velvet dress) • Often it’s some combination. Take a simple piece of paper: you can see some light through, white reflects, black print absorbs.
- 10. The waves can pass through the object The waves can be absorbed by the object. The waves can be reflected off the object. The waves can be scattered off the object. The waves can be refracted through the object.
- 11. Reflection and color • Remember, white light contains all colors (a rainbow or prism separates them so we can see this) • Why does a green wall look green in the sunshine? • Why does it look different when it’s in the shade? • Well, in the dark, it’s black. No light reflects off it. • A green wall reflects only green light; it absorbs all the other colors.
- 12. Absorption and color • Why is a black car hotter than a white car in the summer? • Remember light is energy. Heat is another form of energy. • A white car reflects all wavelengths of light. • A black car absorbs all wavelengths of light, absorbing the energy and turning it to heat.
- 14. Light transmission • Transparent materials transmit light, like windows. • Remember all light has same speed in vacuum? • Different frequencies have different speeds in transparent materials – that causes a prism to separate the colors. • Colored glass or plastic only transmits the color that it is; it absorbs or reflects the other colors.
- 15. Using Light to Study the Stars Astronomers collect energy from the stars with a telescope Visible light Infrared light Radio waves, etc. Each atom has a special pattern of light frequencies like a fingerprint The fingerprint of frequencies will be shifted if the star is moving away or toward us (like the sound of a freight train) The temperature of the Star can be determined from the color of the star Here are two pictures of the ring nebula. One in visible light one in infrared light…
