Light:
We are going to take notes in our Classkick on pages 14, 15, and 16 throughout this section. Complete the 4-square, answering the questions and drawing examples as instructed.
Light is an electromagnetic wave. It can travel through matter or empty space. See the diagram to learn where visible light falls on the electromagnetic spectrum. Take notes as you learn with this video to introduce the properties of light:
Watch
Transmission:
Light can travel, or transmit, through some materials, but not through others The type of material affects whether waves can be transmitted For example, looking out a window- you can see out and people can see in because the light is transmitted through the glass
Transmission:
3 types of materials that transmit light differently:
100%
0%
50%
Translucent Some light passes through, but not all. Colored glass, tissues paper
Transparent Most light passes through material. Clear glass, pure water, air, window
Opaque No light is transmitted through the material. Walls, books, apples, wood, etc!
Reflection:
Light can become reflected when it hits a surface. The light bounces off the material and travels back into the medium through which it was initially traveling. Where have you seen your reflection? Chat to everyone!
Reflection:
Reflection is the property that allows us to see colors! DIfferent atoms in materials absorb and reflect different wavelengths Visible light, or colors, all travel at different wavelengths, which is why we seem them as different colors!
Reflection:
If a material cannot absorb the wavelength, it reflects it. Just like in a mirror, we see the reflected color! What colors are being reflected in the following fruits?
Reflection:
What about white and black?
ABSORPTION:
Light is absorbed when the material takes in the wavelengths. Sometimes the light energy changes into thermal energy (heat). Based on what we learned about reflection and colors, what color will get the warmest on a sunny day?
FILTERS:
What about when white light goes through a filter? Filters absorb certain wavelengths (colors) and allow others to pass through. If we have a flashlight (white light) and pass it through a red filter, what color light will shine through?
FILTERS:
Red light would shine through! If you shine that red light (from the filter) onto a blue shirt... what color will the shirt appear?

When you have it open, click the arrow to learn about reflection!
reflection:
The surface of the material affects how light is reflected
Scatters light in different directionsGives ore even light throughout a space "Diffuse Reflection"
Rough Surfaces
Reflect in consistant and predictable directions"Specular Reflection"
Smooth Surfaces
Both reflect light back to the medium
Title here
Sound can also be reflected. Can you think of an example?

Plane It:
Plane, or Flat, Mirrors: - surface of the mirror is flat
- type we use in our house
- reflects light without distorting or magnifying the image
- correctly shows how an object appears, but backwards
Check out the interactive activity below. Follow along with the directions until you reach the end of both parts!
Plane mirrors
When you finish, click the home button to move to the next activity!
Concave It:
Concave Mirrors: - shaped like the inside of a spoon
- light converges (comes together) to a point in front of the mirror
- makes light seem brighter or amplified by focusing it in a beam
- examples: headlights, flashlights, and lighthouses
Check out the interactive activity below. Follow along to see how the light is reflected in the mirror.

Convex It:
Convex Mirrors: - shaped like the outside of a spoon
- light diverges (goes away from the center)
- used in shops to provide security because you can see wide areas at once
- also used in side mirrors of vehicles to see potential hazards
Check out the interactive activity below. Follow along to see how the light is reflected in the mirror.
