One wave we can see!

• Light is only one small part of a whole range of waves called the electromagnetic spectrum

Remember the waves in electromagnetic spectrum?

• Use this phrase to help you…

Visible light

Light that we can see can be split up as it passes through a prism.

We can then see these different colours known as the visible visible spectrum.spectrum.

Visible light is only a very small part of the electromagnetic spectrum

A rainbow is formed when light is split up as it passes through raindrops.

Notice where ‘violet’ light is?.... Next to Ultra violet rays!

Notice where ‘red’ light is?.... Next to Infra red rays!

Time to test yourself!

• You have seen that visible light waves are only one small part of a range of useful waves called the electromagnetic spectrum

• There are seven types of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum – remember the rabbit rhyme?

• Visible light can be split into seven colours – called the visible spectrum – remember ROY G BIVNow try this test…..

..or go back to the beginning if you are not sure………
