Behavior of Light Waves
-Light is taken in by an object and turned into another kind of energy
-Light bounces off object
-Light slow down and changes direction in object.
--Light goes into an object and is split into its components by wavelength.
-Light goes through an object.
We see light in color depending on light frequency.Light travels to our eyes by...- traveling through space-entering and reflecting around the earth's atmosphere-entering our eyes-light is analysed by the brain.
How we see light
This apple looks red because all light is absorbed except for red by the apple.
Light is an electromagnetic wave, which means that it can travel through mediums and empty space. Light's waves can be expressed as transverse waves. Transverse wave have crests, troughs, a frequency, an amplitude, and wavelengths.
Light wave classification
The light spectrum is separated into 7 parts (That are separate, because of their wavelengths) These parts/ wave types are-Radio waves-Micro waves-Infrared waves-visible waves-ultraviolet waves-x-rays-gamma waves
