Light travels VERY FAST – around 300,000,000 m/s
(that’s 670,000 mph)
At this speed it can go around the world 8 times in one second.

Speed of LightSpeed of Light
Our nearest spiral galaxy is Andromeda. It is 2.5 million light years away
Light is so fast, physicists measure
light with ‘light years’.
A light year is the distance that light travels in one year.
5.8 Trillion Miles in a Year

Light travels much faster than sound. For example:
Thunder and lightning start at the same time, but we will see the lightning first.

We see things because the object reflects light into our
eyes:

There are two types of objects when dealing with light
A luminous source is one that produces light.
A illuminated source is one that reflects light.

The Law of ReflectionThe Law of Reflection
Angle of incidence = Angle of Angle of incidence = Angle of reflectionreflection
In other words, light gets reflected from a surface at the same angle it hits it.

Specular vs. Diffuse ReflectionSpecular vs. Diffuse Reflection
Smooth, shiny surfaces have a specular reflection:
Rough, dull surfaces have a diffuse reflection.
Diffuse reflection is when light is scattered in different directions

RefractionRefraction
Refraction is when waves speed up or slow down due to traveling in a different medium.
EXAMPLE: Pencil in the Oil
In this case the light rays are slowed down by the oil and are bent, causing the pencil to look odd. The two mediums in this example are air and oil.

Plane MirrorPlane MirrorIs a flat, smooth surface from which light
is reflected by smooth reflection.
An object is a source of light rays that are reflected by the surface of the mirror.
Looking at yourself in a plane mirror, your image appears to be the same distance behind the mirror as you are in front of the mirror.

Concave Mirrors have edges that are curved toward the observer.

Adding colorsAdding colorsWhite light can be split up to make separate
colors. These colors can be added together again.
The primary colors of light are red, blue and green:
Adding blue and red makes magenta (purple)
Adding blue and green makes cyan
(light blue)
Adding all three makes white again
Adding red and green makes yellow

ColorColor
White (visible) light is not a single color; it is made up of a mixture of the seven colors of the rainbow.
We can demonstrate this by splitting white light with a prism.

Seeing ColorSeeing Color An object looks a certain color because it
reflects that color light to our eyes and absorbs all other colors.
For example, a red book only reflects red light:
White

Only red light is
reflected

The Color Black
Black can be thought of as a lack of color.
A black object absorbs all white light and reflects no color at all
