DAILY DOUBLEorder of increasing energy:

FM Radio Waves, Infrared Light,

Ultraviolet Light. Gamma rays,

These waves have the highest energy of all

electromagnetic waves.

Gamma Rays

These waves have the highest energy of all electromagnetic

waves.

This is the only part of the

electromagnetic spectrum you can

see.

Optical Range

(visible light)

Which travels faster, red light or blue

light?

Which travels faster, red light or blue light?

NeitherAll EM Radiation

travels at the same speed in similar

media.

These materials absorb or reflect all

light, you cannot see through them.

Opaque Objects

These materials absorb or reflect all light, you cannot see through

them.

A green filter absorbs these colors of light

A green filter absorbs these colors of light

Red and Blue light are absorbed. Only

Green is transmitted

What color is formed when all three primary pigments are mixed?

What color is formed when all three primary pigments are mixed?

BLACK

Red light and Green light combine to form

yellow light so the light is

(additive/subtractive)color.

Red light and Green light combine to form yellow

light so the light isadditive

color.

This color of light has the shortest wave

length and the highest energy.

This color of light has the shortest wave length and the highest energy.

VIOLET

This is the word used to describe

light that strikes an object.

This is the word used to describe light that strikes an object.

Incident Light

This is the result of waves changing

velocity when they travel from one

medium to another.

This is the result of waves changing velocity when they travel from one medium to

another.

Refraction

This is what happens when waves are bent

around a barrier.

This is what happens when waves are bent around a barrier.

Diffraction

What type of interference is taking place as the

crests combine to form new colors of light?

What type of interference is taking place as the crests combine to form new colors of light?

Constructive Interference

Calculate the angle of reflection in the diagram.

Angle of reflection is 30°Law of Reflection =’

This is the type of image produced by a

plane mirror. (3 Characteristics)

This is the type of image produced by a plane mirror.

(3 Characteristics)

A Virtual, Upright, True Size Image

This is the name for the structure n the picture.

Concave Mirror

This type of image is produced when

the light rays actually cross and touch the image.

This type of image is produced when the light rays actually cross and touch the

image.

Real Image

A convex mirror and a concave lens both produce

this kind of image due to wave divergence.

They both produce a

Virtual, Upright, Smaller Image

This is where the object must be placed to produce a real, inverted image with a

convex lens..

This is where the object must be placed to produce a real, inverted image.
