- 1visible lightonly type of electromagnetic radiation that can be seen by the human eye
lies between infrared and ultraviolet light - 2light waveswave lengths between 390 and 780nm
- 3white lightRed- 620-750nm
Orange- 590-620
Yellow- 570-590
Green- 495-50
Blue- 476-495
Indigo- 450-475
Violet- 380-450 - 4when light reaches surface materialtransmitted
absorbed
reflected
depends on the material and the wavelength of the light - 5opaquedoesn't transmit any light of any frequency
colour of material depends on which wavelengths of light they reflect and which they absorb - 6specularreflected off a smooth surface
all light waves are reflected in the same direction and an image is formed - 7diffuse reflectionlight is reflected of a rough surface
light is scattered in many different directions
