Electromagnetic Spectrum Vocab.

Visible Light Spectrum

• Produced when light passes through a prism, slowing the wavelength into each separate color.

• Rainbows happen when the sky is happy.

• Occurs when parallel waves hit a smooth surface

Reflection

• Occurs when parallel rays of light hit a smooth surface.

• Absorbs all light.

• All rays are reflected at the same angle.

• It is a rainbow.

Brightness...

• Determined by the light waves amplitude

• The greater the amplitude, the brighter the light

• Distance also effects brightness

• All of the above
