Depth & Light • So what do you know about light?
Depth & Light • Can you name the parts of a light wave? Direction of wave ? http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Simple_wave.png

Different wavelengths produce different colors. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Colors_and_wavelengths.png Depth & Light
Sunlight, is white light. It has all wavelengths & colors. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Colors_and_wavelengths.png Depth & Light
We can use a prism to separate colors by wavelength. Depth & Light http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Light_dispersion_conceptual_waves.gif
What is the order? ROY G. BIV Depth & Light http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Light_dispersion_conceptual_waves.gif
When light hits a material like water it is: Reflected, Absorbed, or transmitted. Depth & Light incident ray reflected absorbed transmitted
What is the color of water? Depth & Light
What is the color of water? BLUE Depth & Light
What is the color of water? BLUE What happens when light passes through a blue material? Depth & Light
What happens when light passes through a blue material? Every color but blue is absorbed Depth & Light Absorbed light transmitted light
Depth & Light • So what happens to color at different depths of the ocean? • Materials : • black felt represents the aphotic zone • square felt pieces in assorted colors (ROY G.BV) • Blue plastic “goggles” to represent layers of water
Depth & Light • PROCEDURE: • Place black felt with color pieces face-up. • Add one blue layer at a time in front of your eyes. • Put an “X” in the box for every color you can see.
RESULTS:What color (s) disappears with 1 layer? 2? 3?Is there any color which did not disappear?
Depth & Light • Some color’s travel deeper, due to shorter wavelength. • Violet gets scattered by water. http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/education-and-outreach/additional/science-focus/ocean-color/oceanblue.shtml
Depth & Light • How does that affect the organisms that live in the ocean?
Depth & Light • PROCEDURE: • Have your partner randomly distribute pieces on the reverse side of the black felt. • (Don’t peek!) • Put on your goggles to simulate the Desphotic zone (3 layers).
Depth & Light • PROCEDURE: • Grab the first 10 pieces you can see.(no feeling around!) • Record results. • Repeat for your partner. • Total your results.
Depth & Light • PROCEDURE: (copy the table)
Depth & Light • RESULTS? • So what were the easiest colors to find? • Which colors were rarely picked up?

ORANGE? YELLOW? GREEN? BLUE? VIOLET? BROWN? What colors give animals in the ocean the best camouflage? RED? 1) Design your own camouflage pattern
ORANGE? YELLOW? GREEN? BLUE? VIOLET? BROWN? What colors give animals in the ocean the best camouflage? RED? 2) Write a paragraph describing your camouflage pattern. Use data from your experiment to explain why you chose the colors in the pattern. 1) Use data from your experiments to design your own camouflage pattern
