One of the most important wave-like behaviors of light is reflection. It is reflected light that we see with our eyes. How light reflects off objects affects the colors we see as well. When a wave strikes a new medium, some of the wave will bounce off the surface. How reflective the surface is will determine how much light (and what wavelengths of light) will be reflected and how much will be absorbed or transmitted.

Normally, light travels in a straight path called a ray, however, when passing through transparent materials, like water or glass, light bends or turns. This is because different materials or mediums have different qualities. In each type of medium, whether it is air or water or glass, the wavelength of the light will change, but not the frequency. As a result, the direction and speed of the traveling light wave will change and the light will appear to bend or change directions. ]]> 2018-01-19 15:05:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jlramer1/llj9138sxmud/wish/222807552 jlramer1 https://padlet.com/jlramer1/llj9138sxmud/wish/222809142

Absorption is when a wave comes into contact with a medium and causes the medium's molecules to vibrate and move. This vibration absorbs or takes some of the energy away from the wave and less of the energy is reflected. One example of absorption is black pavement which absorbs energy from light. The black pavement becomes hot from absorbing the light waves and little of the light is reflected making the pavement appear black. A white stripe painted on the pavement will reflect more of the light and absorb less. As a result the white stripe will be less hot.]]> 2018-01-19 15:08:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jlramer1/llj9138sxmud/wish/222809142 jlramer1 https://padlet.com/jlramer1/llj9138sxmud/wish/222814823

Depending on the type of matter it comes into contact with, light will behave differently. Sometimes light will pass directly through the matter, like with air or water. This type of matter is called transparent. Other objects completely reflect light, like an animal or a book. These objects are called opaque. A third type of object does some of both and tends to scatter the light. These objects are called translucent objects.

This is not an easy question. Light has no mass and is not really considered matter. So does it even exist? Of course it does! We couldn't live without light. Today scientists say light is a form of energy made of photons. Light is unique in that it behaves like both a particle and a wave. .]]> 2018-01-19 15:26:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jlramer1/llj9138sxmud/wish/222818243 jlramer1 https://padlet.com/jlramer1/llj9138sxmud/wish/222839308
