Light
Light is electromagnetic energy traveling in waves
Light can do three different things....
transmitTransmitting is when light moves from one place to the other. This image is showing light being transmitted because you can see that the light has traveled through the water so you can see underwater.
|
refractLight can also refract. Refraction is the bending of light. The image above shows the bending of light once it goes underwater.
|
reflectLight can also be reflected. Reflected light is when the ligh or heat is thrown back. The image is showing a dog looking in a mirror, and seeing its image as the light is thrown back.
|
absorbThe last thing light can do is be absorbed. When light is asorbed all the other colors are absorded and the one color is reflected off. The image is showing all the other colors being absorbed and the light blue bounceing off.
