Presentation Transcript

  1. Chapter 15 – 3Warm - Up • 1. What is a particle of light called? • 2. What type of wave has the most energy in the electromagnetic spectrum? • 3. What type of wave is in between Infrared and Ultraviolet light waves?

  2. Chapter 15 - 3 Reflection and Color

  3. Light • What you see depends on - amount of light and the color of the objects • Must reflect back to your eyes

  4. Reflection • Reflection - light wave strikes an object and bounces off

  5. Reflection of Light: • Light is modeled as a Ray – A line in space that matches the direction of the flow or radiant energy

  6. Reflection • Rough surfaces reflect rays in many directions

  7. Reflection • Smooth Surfaces reflect light in one direction

  8. Reflection: • Angle of Reflection – Angle the light is being reflected • Angle of Incidence – Angle of the light striking the surface • Law of Reflection – Angle of Incidence = Angle of Reflection

  9. The Law of Reflection • Law of reflection -angle of incidence always equals the angle of reflection

  10. Regular Reflection • Reflection of light waves from a smooth surface is regular reflection

  11. Diffuse Reflection • Reflection of light from a rough surface is diffuse reflection

  12. Refraction of Light • Refraction - change in the speed of a wave when it passes from one material to another

  13. Mirage • Mirage - image of a distant object • Produced by the refraction of light through air layers of different densities

  14. Prism

  15. Prisms • Wavelengths of visible light - range from the longer red waves to the shorter violet waves

  16. See Colors: • Colors form because they reflect the frequency of light for that color

  17. Color • Transparent – Transmit all light (Glass Window)

  18. Color • Translucent – Transmit some light

  19. Color • Opaque – Does not transmit light (Wall)

  20. ROYGBIV

  21. Colors: • Additive Primary Colors – Red, Green, and Blue • Add Colors together to form a different color • Mixing all three will make white light

  22. Colors: • Subtractive Primary Colors – Yellow, Cyan, Magenta • Combine to create red, green, or blue • Mixing all three will make black – Absence of color

  23. Colors • An object’s color depends on the wavelengths of light it reflects • White light - blend of all colors of visible light

  24. Prisms • White light - passes through a prism, refracts light twice • 1.Enters the prism • 2. Leaves the prism

  25. Rainbows • Rain droplets also refract light

  26. Light and the Eye • Light enters and is focused on the retina • Chemical reactions - convert light energy into nerve impulses

  27. Color Blindness • Cone - allows you to distinguish colors and detailed shapes of objects • Red, Green, Blue • Cones don't function properly
