STUDY JAMS: LIGHT

 

Light is a very important energy source that helps keep us warm and lets us see the world.  Light travels in a straight line in waves through bundles of energy called photons. The photons contain all seven colors of the rainbow.  Grab a prism and check them out!  Learn more about light with this cartoon animation from StudyJams.  A short, self-checking quiz is also included with this link.

STUDY JAMS: LIGHT ABSORPTION, REFLECTION AND REFRACTION.

 

Light always travels in a straight line until something gets in its way. When that happens, light can be absorbed, reflected (bounced off) or refracted (bent), depending on what kind of surface it hits.
