Light
  1. Light carries energy and travels in a wave
    1. Speed of light - 300,000 km/s = 300,000,000 m/s
      1. White Light
        1. Red
          1. Orange
            1. Yellow
              1. Green
                1. Blue
                  1. Indigo
                    1. Violet
                    2. Luminous and Non-Luminous

                      Annotations:

                      • A luminous objects is one that is a source of light.  A non-luminous object is one that reflects light from another source.
                      1. Colour

                        Annotations:

                        • How do we see colours?  a coloured object will absorb all the colours of the spectrum apart from its own, and reflects that colour.  So a green ball will reflect the green light and absorb all the rest of the colours.  Black however, absorbs all the colours of the spectrum, so where you see a black object you are actually seeing an absence of light.
                        • Primary Colours Red, Yellow, Blue
                        1. Refraction

                          Annotations:

                          • Refraction is when light is bent.  when rays of light enter something more dense than air, they slow down and refract towards the normal line.  this is why a pencil in water looks bent.
