"ELECTROMAGNETIC THEORY OF LIGHT"
WHAT IS LIGHT?
-IS A FORM OF ENERGY THAT TRAVELS
THROUGH AN ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE
THREE TYPES OF LIGHT:
•
•
•
TRANSPARENT MATERIAL
ALLOWS LIGHT TO GET THROUGH
TRANSLUCENT MATERIAL
PARTY ALLOW LIGHT TO GET THROUGH
OPAQUE MATERIAL
DO NOT ALLOW LIGHT TO PASS THROUGH
PROPERTIES OF LIGHT

REFLECTION
ABSORPTION
TRANSMISSION
SOURCE OF LIGHT
NATURAL - source of lights that are present
naturally in the universe and are not made by
humans
ARTIFICIAL- man - made source of light
LUMINOUS - light that emit their own light
NONLUMINOUSdonottheirownlight
CHARACTERISTICS OF LIGHT
INTENSITY
refers to the strength or amount of light
produced by a specific lamp source
The measure of the wave - length weighted
power by a light source .
defined to be power per unit area.
Watt (W) per square meter (m²)
TYPES OF ELECTROMAGNETIC
RADIATION.
Radio - used to broadcast radio and television.
Microwaves - used in cooking, radar, telephone,
and other signal.
Infrared - transmits heat from sun,,fires, radiators.
Visible Light - make things able to be seen.
Ultraviolet - absorbed by the skin used in
fluorescent tube.
X-rays - used to view inside of bodies and
objects.
Gamma - rays - used in medicine for killing
cancer cells.
ACTIVITY 1:
Light a. Do not their own light.
Natural b. Man made source of light.
Artificial c. Is a form of energy that
travels though an
electromagnetic wave.
Luminous d. Light that present naturally in
the universe and are not made
by humans.
Non luminous e. Light source that emit their
own light.
