Light travels much faster than sound.
For example:
1) Thunder and lightning start
at the same time, but we will
see the lightning first.
2) When a starting pistol is
fired we see the smoke first
and then hear the bang.
Light travels VERY FAST –
about 300,000 kilometers per
second or 186,000 miles per
second.
At this speed light
could travel the
equivalent of 8
times around the
world in one second!
Electromagnetic
Spectrum and
Visible Light
Remember radio waves are long…
…and gamma rays are small
Radio-TV -Microwave- Infrared – VISIBLE -Ultraviolet -X- rays - Gamma- Cosmic
*Electromagnetic Radiation
Electromagnetic radiation can be described
in terms of a stream of photons. Each
photon is traveling in a wave-like pattern,
moving at the speed of light and carrying
some amount of energy.
Color
White 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:
This is how rainbows are
formed: sunlight is “split
up” by raindrops.
The colors of the rainbow:
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Indigo
Violet
Just remember ROY G. BIV

Blue 606-668 450-495 2.50-2.75
Green 526-606 495-570 2.17-2.50
Yellow 508-526 570-590 2.10-2.17
Orange 484-508 590-620 2.00-2.10
Red 400-484 620-750 1.65-2.00
High frequency waves
have shorter wavelengths
and produce more energy

Editor's Notes

  1. The only difference amongst radio waves, visible light, and gamma-rays is the amount of energy of the photons. Radio waves have photons with low energies. Microwaves have a little more energy than radio waves. Infrared has still more energy. As we move down the chart we see visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma-rays whose photon energies gradually increase. Gamma and Cosmic rays have the highest energy waves.
