The Rainbow Connection
What's Happening?

  • We are learning about visible light and mixing colors which comes from the electromagnetic Spectrum which is a range of all types of electromagnetic radiation. Each kind of ray has a different wavelengths

    1. Gamma, X-Ray, UV, Visible, Infrared, Microwave, Radio

    2. The color you see is actually the only color/wavelength that is not being absorbed by whatever you are looking at.

  • Light can often have a by product of heat as a form of energy.

Why do we care?

  1. Energy is given off in many forms of waves in many different ways such as sound, light and energy.

  2. Waves have different aspects that make them have different functions

  3. Amplitude - height of the wave

  4. Frequency - how many waves pass in a certain time

  5. Wavelength - time for a complete wave to pass

  6. Light is absorbed by objects all around us, and they are converted to hear or reflect the color not absorbed.

  7. Energy is all around us!

  8. Lights and heat
