Light Absorption, Reflection, and Transmission

Mr. Anderson's AP Physics video explores light behavior, focusing on absorption, reflection, and transmission. Using a green laser and gummy bears, he demonstrates how light interacts with different mediums. Reflection occurs when light bounces off surfaces, while absorption converts light into energy, often heat. Transmission allows light to pass through a medium. The video also explains how different wavelengths affect object colors and includes a gummy bear experiment to illustrate these concepts.
