Characteristics of light PREPARED BY: Jeymar Payumo
LEARNING OBJECTIVES IDENTIFY THE CHARACTERISTICS OF LIGHT CALCULATE THE INTENSITY OF LIGHT INFER THAT BRIGHTNESS OF LIGHT IS DEPENDENT ON THE DISTANCE OF THE SOURCE

PRE-ACTIVITY Complete the diagram by listing all electromagnetic wave in order 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
How do shadows formed? T he light rays were blocked by an object . T he light rays cannot pass through it, instead it creates an outline of the object

VISIBLE LIGHT SPECTRUM
PHOTOMETRY Measurement of the brightness of a light source. 2 MEASUREMENT QUANTITIES OF LIGHT LUMINUOS INTENSITY - Measured of light source - Measured in terms of Candela(cd) LUMINOUS FLUX Rate at which light is emitted from the source Expressed in terms of Lumens(l)
How to calculate light intensity?
Intensity(I) = Power(P)/ Area(A) Suppose a light source(bulb) has 300 Watts. W hat Is the intensity of light if the distance from the light source is 20 meters. I=P/A
Suppose a light source(bulb) has 300 Watts. W hat Is the intensity of light if the distance from the light source is 20 meters. I=P/A P= 300 Watts; r= 20
Compute the intensity of the following. SEATWORK SOURCE OF LIGHT DISTANCE FROM THE LIGHT Incandescent bulb (100W) 1.5 m Incandescent bulb (200W) 3 m
ACTIVITY Read and analyze the following statements given. Tell whether the statement is true or false. ______1. I n the visible light spectrum, red has the longest wavelength. ______2 . In the visible light spectrum, violet has the highest frequency. ______3 . If a wave in a spectrum has the shortest wavelength, then it has the lowest frequency ______4 . The frequency of a wave is directly proportional to its wavelength. false ______5 . The energy of the wave does not depend on the wavelength and frequency .
