  2. Light and Lighting:Science Camp 2004

  3. Science Camp begins with the 4-H Pledge

  4. Using Thermometers • Light is radiant energy that travels in waves • We can measure heat with a thermometer

  5. Light Can Be Absorbed And Transformed into Heat • Light waves can be reflected, refracted, and absorbed by substances • When light is absorbed by substances, it is often transformed into thermal energy (heat)

  6. Solar Balloon And Radiometer • When substances absorb light and turn it into heat, they usually expand

  7. Solar Balloon

  8. Light And Chemical Changes • Chemical reactions can produce light • Heat can speed chemical reactions; cold can slow them down

  9. Solar Beads • Light can produce chemical changes in substances

  10. Glow Toys • Some substances can store light and release it as light at a later time

  11. Light Can Be Separated • Visible light is made of many wavelengths of radiant energy • Visible light can be separated into different colors of light according to its wavelength

  12. Light Can Be Reflected • Light travels in a straight line • The angle of incidence of light is equal to the angle of reflection • Light waves can be reflected

  13. Light Can Be Turned Into Electricity • A Photovoltaic Cell can convert light into electricity • Electricity can be used to perform work

  14. It Takes Energy To Make Light • Some lightbulbs produce more heat than others • Some lightbulbs are more energy efficient than others

  15. It Takes Energy to Make Light • Life cycle cost is the total cost of using an appliance and is a more important measure than purchase price
