Title: How does light travel?


1
How does light travel?
  • light travels in waves
  • a ray is a straight line that represents the path
    of a beam of light
  • light will travel in a straight light until it
    strikes something then it might
  • continue on (clear or transparent substance)
  • reflect back (solid or opaque substance)
  • scatter (filmy or translucent substance)

2
How does light travel?
  • light travels as waves (like water and sound)
  • a ray is a straight line that represents the path
    of a beam of light

Shadows
  • shadows are created where an opaque (solid)
    object blocks light rays
  • the distance of an object from the source will
    affect the size of its shadow
