Light is a form of energy
· energy is conserved
· you can convert energy
· some forms of energy are more useful than others
· greenhouse effect
· light acts like a particle and a wave
Properties of light
· travels in a straight line
· spreads out as it gets further from the source
· can be blocked
· can be absorbed
· can pass through some materials
· can bounce or reflect
· travels at 186,000 miles per second
Labs:
· magnification
· bouncing light
· bending light
· mixing light
· mixing pigment
Light can be a form of pollution
Isaac Newton proved that white light contains all of the colors
of the rainbow
