Absorption of Light

Absorption of Light. Absorption. Absorption of light happens when atoms in an object absorb (take in and hold) the light waves. For example: You are able to see a red apple because all of the other light waves are absorbed but red is reflected to your eyes.

  1. Absorption of Light www.assignmentpoint.com

  2. Absorption • Absorption of light happens when atoms in an object absorb (take in and hold) the light waves. For example: You are able to see a red apple because all of the other light waves are absorbed but red is reflected to your eyes. www.assignmentpoint.com

  3. The light wave could be absorbed by the object, in which case its energy is converted to heat. The light wave could be reflected by the object. And the light wave could be transmitted by the object. www.assignmentpoint.com

  4. Experiments with Light Use the following website to conduct experiments on reflection, refraction and absorption General Electric Website: • http://www.gelighting.com/na/home_lighting/gela/students/science_what_is_light.htm www.assignmentpoint.com

  5. Light Wave Rubric www.assignmentpoint.com

  6. Resources • General Electric Website (images, experiments and content reading) • Sciensaurus www.assignmentpoint.com

  7. n physics, absorption of electromagnetic radiation is the way in which the energy of a photon is taken up by matter, typically the electrons of an atom. Thus, the electromagnetic energy is transformed into internal energy of the absorber, for example thermal energy. www.assignmentpoint.com
