• CREST TO CREST IS CALLED A ?

Slide 14

Slide 15

• EACH ______________________ OF LIGHT ON THE VISIBLE SPECTRUM HAS A DIFFERENT WAVE LENGTH

Slide 16

• COLOR

Slide 17

• THE NUMBER OF WAVES THAT PASS BY A CERTAIN SPOT IN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME IS CALLED THE _________________ OF THE WAVE

Slide 18

• FREQUENCY

Slide 19

• WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE LIGHT FROM THE SUN AND THE LIGHT FROM THE MOON?

Slide 20

Slide 30

• BEND A LIGHT WAVE AS IT PASSES
• FROM ONE MATERIAL TO ANOTHER

Slide 31

Slide 32

• OBJECTS LIKE WATER, AIR, SOME PLASTICS, AND CLEAR TAPE ALLOW LIGHT TO PASS THROUGH, SO WE CAN SEE WHATEVER IS BEHIND IT- ARE CALLED?

Slide 33

• TRANSPARENT

Slide 34

• OBJECTS LIKE A DARK SHADE OVER A WINDOW TO NOT ALLOW LIGHT TO PASS THROUGH. THEY BLOCK THE LIGHT ARE CALLED?

Slide 35
