A type of energy
Other types of energy are:
Heat, electricity, sound, chemical and …

Light is not ..

This is just the model for light that we use to help us to predict what will happen is certain situations

Luminous Objects …
…produce light which allows us to see them. They are also called sources of light and can be categorised as:
Notes
•Incandescent sources•Fluorescent sources•Chemoluminescent sources•Bioluminescent sources

Incandescent sources…
...produce light from fast moving electrons that result from the heating a metal or gas
e.g.candles, light bulbs,
and the sun

Fluorescent sources…
…. fire electrons into gases causing the electrons in the gas atoms to jump to higher shells. When the electrons return to their normal shell they give off light.

What’s Your Theory?
If non Luminous objects don’t produce their own light, why can we see them at all angles irrespective of where the source is?

What the scientists say.
Virtually all objects have a rough surface when you look at them through a strong microscope. These rough surfaces reflect light at all angles.
We call this type of reflection Diffuse Reflection

What’s Your Theory?
Why do different objects appear to be different colours?

What the scientists say.
Light rays can have different energies and our eyes can detect the rays that have energies in the visible spectrum range.

White is not in the spectrum!
There is no such thing as white light.
White light is a result of all the colours of the rainbow being put together.
Light globes, fluorescent lights and the sun all appear to give us white light which actually means that they are producing all the colours of the rainbow mixed together.

Why do objects appear coloured? Coloured objects are usually non luminous so
they do not give off coloured light. Instead they absorb some colours and reflect
others. So a red object reflects red and absorbs the
other colours. Filters do the same thing e.g. a green filter
absorbs all the colours except green.
