Visible Light Wavelengths range from

400 nm to 700 nm Longest wavelength = red Shortest wavelength =

violet 1 nm = 1 x 10-9 m

Speed of Light

Light does not require a medium The speed of light depends on

the medium The more dense the material,

the slower the light Light travels fastest in a vacuum

(no medium)

Speed of Light Speed of light in a vacuum = 3.00 x 108 m/s Speed of light first calculated

by Albert Michelson The symbol, c, is used to

represent the speed of light in a vacuum

Sources of light

Luminous object – gives off light

Illuminated object – reflects light

Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through them; they only absorb and reflect light

Page 7: 1 Light. 2 Visible Light Wavelengths range from 400 nm to 700 nm Longest wavelength = red Shortest wavelength = violet 1 nm = 1 x 10 -9 m.

Transparent materials allow almost all light to pass through them; only a little light is absorbed and reflected

Some light passes through translucent materials, but the image is distorted.

Light and Color Colors – determined by

wavelength(s) of light that an object reflects

Objects appear to be white when they reflect all colors of visible light

Light and Color Objects appear to be black

when they absorb, rather than reflect, all colors of visible light

Filter – transparent material that absorbs all colors except the color or colors it transmits

Mixing colors

Pigment – colored material that absorbs some colors and reflects others

Colors (Light)

Primary colors of light are additive colors – combine to form white

Primary colors of light – red, green, and blue

Secondary Colors of light - magenta, cyan, and yellow

Pigments Primary colors of pigments

are subtractive colors – combine to form black, the absence of reflected light

Primary colors of pigment – magenta, cyan, and yellow

Secondary colors - red, green, and blue

Complementary Colors

One primary color and one secondary color that, when mixed, produce white light (White light is the combination of

all possible wavelengths of light) One primary pigment and one

secondary pigment that, when mixed, produce black

The eye Sclera – white part Cornea – clear refractive surface Iris – colored part of eye (controls

how much light enters the eye) Pupil – hole through which light

passes Optic nerve – bundle of nerves at

the back of the eye relaying messages to the brain.

Retina – made up of two types of cells that absorb light Cones – distinguish colors and detailed shapes; most effective in daytime vision

Rods – sensitive to dim light; most effective in nighttime vision

Polarized light Light waves vibrate in only

one direction after passing through a polarizing filter
