Light

In room 9 we have been learning about light and how the light turns int several colours.

The light is the fastest travelling thing on earth. Without light in the world we won’t be able to see coloured objects with our eyes. But we are lucky enough that we have a source of light that is called the sun. The sun creates heaps of different cool colours but all those colours can bunch up into one and create a colour called white.

Reflection is a light that shines from one object into different mirrors if placed in the right place. Light bounces of the different mirrors, big or small but it will still reflect from the mirrors. If a mirror is placed on a angle, the light will bounce somewhere else instead of hitting into the other mirror.

Refraction is when it hits a raindrop or a prism, it will turn back into the seven colours that create the rainbow. When a white light travels through the prism, it will come out as the colours that created the white light. When it goes into the prism and come out as different colours it called Refraction.

Colour is a source of light that come from the sun and earth’s energy. Lights all bunches up into white and when it hits the prism, it turns back into the original colours like if the rainbow colours bunch up, it will turn into one colour called white. Then if it hits something like a raindrop it turns back to the other colours. if a red light hits a green object like grass, it won’t reflect because it is a different colour but if you shine a blue light into a blue object it will reflect back because it is the same colour.
