behind an object that blocks the path of light

What are four behaviors of light?
reflect, scatter, transmit, absorb
100
What are the three levels of transmission?
Transparent, Translucent, Opaque
100
What makes up white light?
ROY G BIV

How does light specifically behave when it gives off the most amount of light (lux)?
Light bounce off a surface in a V-shape pattern.
200
What conditions do you need to create a shadow?
light source, surface, object, blocked path
200
How does light behave when it bounces off of a surface in many different directions?
scatter
200
Which level of transmission allows most light to go through?
Transparent

What part of the eye detects colors and where are they located?

How does light behave when it bounces off a surface in a V-shape?
reflection
300
Which level of transmission allows some light to go through?
translucent
300
How does light behave when we perceive something as the color white?
All light wave frequencies are reflected and none are absorbed.

How is a rainbow in the sky formed?
Sun light transmits through raindrops. The raindrops act like prisms, slowing light down and spreading out light into 7 different frequencies (colors).

What is wrong with this picture?
The person's shadow is incorrect and should be behind him.

How does light behave when it moves through a material?
transmit
400
Which level of transmission allows no light to go through?
opaque

When light reaches an object it can be a combination of ..........
reflecting, scattering, transmitting, or absorbing

How do we see the sky as blue?
When the sun light passes through the Earth's atmosphere, the particle and gases in the air absorb all the colors, except the color blue is reflected.
500
When you look at a shadow, what are you really seeing?
The absence of light.

How does light behave when it moves through a prism?
A prism slows light down and spreads it out in 7 different frequencies (colors).
500
What level of transmission would sunglasses be?
translucent
500
How can we see different colors?
Each object is made of different pigments that either absorb or reflect different colors of light. Whatever light is reflected is the color we see.
