Unit 10 - Light Behavior
In Unit 10 we learned about light behavior. The equation to find the velocity is the velocity (speed) equals to 3 X 10^8 m/s. Important things to remember about light is that unlike sound, light does not need a medium to travel through. There are two main light waves that we heard about before and they are Electromagnetic waves and Electromagnetic Spectrums. Electromagnetic waves are traverse waves and include two parts of the wave which include magnitism waves and electric waves. Electromagnetic Spectrums are all different ranges of frequencies of electric magnetic waves. The higher the frequencies of a wave equals a higher frequency. The top two pictures are a sort of light source. The first one is a single light bulb at the cafeteria and the second one is of two florescent light bulbs that are bigger than a bulb. The third picture is a picture of ROYGBIV which is the colors. R stands for red, O stands for orange, Y stands for yellow, G stands for green, B stands for blue, I stands for indigo, and V stands for Violet. On the R side of the spectrum of light there is low energy and on the V side of the spectrum there is higher energy.
