 What I Need to Know
Light is everywhere. Light is a key element in our everyday lives that it is
the main source of energy for all living organisms. It affects all varied
physiological and biological processes in the living world. It allows us to go
about our daily routine activities from dawn to sunset. It provides us leisure,
safety, scientific advancement amongst other things.

As we navigate the pages of this module, let us uncover the different role
light and its applications interplay in our everyday lives. Let us experience
light in our natural world through a remarkable range of colors surrounding
us from the beautiful rainbows in the blue skies with white clouds, down to
the deep blue-green oceans and the fascinating greeneries of the land where
we live. Let us appreciate that the beauty surrounding us is all defined by
light as the colors of our world we see is a result of light’s wavelengths
reflected back and transmitted to our eyes.

You will come across in this module, varied resources that you can see
for yourself the wonders of light and understand the science behind it. You
will be learning some characteristics and properties of light, specifically on
its ability to disperse or refract when traveling a medium. You will also be
trying out simple activities demonstrating how light separates into
component colors. Hence, you will be able to identify the hierarchy of its
component colors and explain it in relation to energy, wavelength and
frequency of visible light.

As you work on this module you are expected to:

● Explain the hierarchy of colors in relation to the energy of
visible light (S8FE-If-27).

And, specifically you are to:

1. Demonstrate bending of light, to show the existence and correct order
of its color components;
2. Infer that light is made up of different colors, the red is the least bent
and the violet is the most bent colors of light; and
3. Deepen understanding of light concepts through reading facts and
varied lab performance activities.

Further, at the end of this lesson, you will be able to answer the
following key questions:

How do light refract or disperse into component colors?

Among the component colors of light, which is the most bent? Least bent?
Why do we see the blue skies, red sunset, clouds white and other
spectacular phenomena involving light in our natural world?

Good Job! So we’re ready to explore more about the science behind
sunlight. Alright, before you will go to the laboratory work, let’s get to know
a brief background about light.

What’s New

Light refers to the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum that

the human eye can see.

Did you see how tiny is the portion occupied by visible light in
the Electromagnetic wave spectrum?
The light is a very powerful tool used by man for exploring the
universe around us. As light interacts with matter, many of its properties
were determined and were also altered by light itself. It is through the
continuous study of light that man came to understand and appreciate the
living world, from the composition of the stars light years away to observing
the processes that occur within the living cell as they happen.

5
 To help you understand more about the nature of light, we will be
doing varied activities for us to appreciate and realize that the beauty
surrounding us and the colors of our world are all defined by light.

What is It
Let’s Explore!

Following next is the first activity that you are going to do by yourself.

4. What does this activity tell us about light?

___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________

Light makes us see everything around us. We can see objects because
light that bounces off its surface reaches our eye.

Visible light is an electromagnetic wave that our eyes can detect,

while other members of electromagnetic spectrum cannot. It moves at a
constant speed in space. It’s computed speed in a vacuum is approximately
299 792 458 m/s or 3.0 x 108 m/s.

The visible light spectrum is

made up seven different colors,
each arranged in the order of
frequency, energy and wavelength.
The wavelength of red is much
longer than the other colors, and
ranges from 625-740 nanometers
(nm). However, the red color of
light, carries the least amount of
energy and propagates at low
frequency.

The spectrum of light is visible

when it passes through a refractive
substances like water or glass
prism. This spectrum of light
consist of colors of the rainbow:
red, orange, yellow, green, blue,
indigo and violet. The
combination of these colors results
in white light. Refraction is the
bending of light as it passes
through one transparent substance
into another while dispersion is the

8
splitting of light into seven distinct colors.

Key Concepts:
The colors of light are only revealed when light is refracted and dispersed
when it hits a transparent medium such as water, raindrops or glass prism.

Refraction is the bending of light as it passes through one

transparent substance into another while dispersion is the
splitting of light into seven distinct colors.

Light is made up of seven (7) different colors arranged in

the ascending order of frequency and descending order of
wavelengths: RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE,
INDIGO, and VIOLET (ROYGBIV). These colors are similarly
seen in rainbows in the skies visible after the rain or storm,
generally during daytime.
Previously, you have already learned about the refraction
property of light and its component colors when dispersed in a refractive
medium. Now, you will understand further the nature of light, through its
component colors in relation to energy, wavelength and frequency of a wave.

ACTIVITY 2: THE SUNSET ON THE FLOOR

___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________

3. Which of the colors of scattered light rays on the milky water is refracted
least? Which color is refracted most?
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________

4. Based on the activity, explain the occurrence of the red sunset in the sky
every late afternoon.
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________

When light travels through a substance, some of the visible light

wavelengths are absorbed while the other light is reflected.

Shown in the figure is a ray of light

approaching a material. The material
absorbed some colors of light and
reflected the red color. In this case,
only the red color of light reaches
your eyes and you will perceived that
the material is red in color.

11
 As the light entered the milky water, the light in the blue end of the
visible spectrum was scattered by the suspended solids from the substance.

This left the lower energy wavelengths of orange and red to pass
through the solution, creating the orange/red color seen in the activity.
These explain the occurrence of the red sunset. During the sunset all the
blue light is scattered away already (hence bent the most) and is out of our
sight, the light reaching our eyes is red which has a longer wavelength (bent
the least).

What exactly happens to light when it travels from one medium to

another? When light travels, it would either refract or not, like the figure
shown below.

Refraction will not occur if light travels in mediums of the same densities.
Refraction would just occur when light travels in mediums of different
densities. Just like water and air, light would refract when it travel through
it.

When light travels from a medium of

lesser density to a medium of greater
density, light will refract. Its direction of
movement is not on the same straight line
path, but rather changes. The refracted
light ray will move towards normal line.
Likewise, the speed of light also changes.
In this case, light slows down, indicating

12
that it encounters a higher density medium.
Normal line is an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface of any medium.

Conversely, when light travels from

a medium of greater density to a medium
of lesser density, light will refract.
However, the refracted light ray, by this
time, will move away from normal line.
Similarly, does not move on the same
straight line path and its speed changes.
In this case, light speeds up indicating
that it encounters a lower density
medium.
Key Concepts:
When light passes from a less dense to a denser substance,
(for example passing from air into water), the light is refracted (or
bent) towards the normal.
When white light passes from air into a glass prism, violet
bends the most and red bends the least. The other colors are bent
by an amount between violet and red.
When the light exits the prism, the light is separated into
the colors in the visible spectrum.
During the sunset all the blue light (bent the most) is
scattered away and the light that reaches the eyes is red which
has a longer wavelength (bent the least).

What’s More

Tell me Why!
Why is the sky blue, the sunset red and clouds white?
The colors surrounding us sometimes are the result of the selective
scattering of the colors of light as it interacts with the gases and suspended
particles present in the earth’s atmosphere. The light’s color scattering
matters on the size of gas molecules or of the particles themselves.

Why is the sky blue? We have learned that that the gases found
abundant in the earth’s atmosphere are nitrogen and oxygen. These gases
are responsible for the scattering of light colors. They scatter most the violet
color of light than other colors. Indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red
follows the order.

13
 So why don’t we see the sky violet then? Because our eyes is more
sensitive to blue color than the violet, thus we see the sky as blue. You have
to remember that the sky becomes even deeper blue after heavy rain as this
washed away these gases and particles.

Now, you know! But wait, here is more to learn.

Look at the picture below. Unlike during noon time, the sun moves
lower in the sky and is now at the farthest distance from us. The path
through which sunlight travels becomes longer. The blue and violet colors of
light, which have short wavelengths, are scattered most and were harder to
reach the surface of the earth.
So, why is the sunset
red? As time progresses to
sunset time, blue and
violet colors of light
gradually disappears and
the red-orange band colors
of light gradually appears.
Take note that the longer
wavelength of the red color
of light allows it to easily
reach the surface of the
earth by this time. At exact
time, we now see the
sunset red in color. This
red sunset is even more
pronounced when there are more particles and gases present in the
atmosphere.

Got the idea of red sunset now? That’s quiet simple, right? We’re now
moving on to the next question: why are clouds white?

14
 What are clouds made of? You’re right, it’s made of clusters of water
droplets of different sizes. Small, medium and large clusters of water
droplets scatter variety of colors of light. The small water droplets scatter
blue color of light, medium sized water droplets scatter the green and large
water droplets scatter the blue. Red, green and blue (RGB) are the three
primary colors of light. When these three primary colors of light are
combined, the result is white. So we see white clouds.

But think about this, as water droplets gathers in clusters, its size
grew bigger. When its size grew bigger, it is incapable of scattering light but
rather absorbed the light. Recall, when light is absorbed, we see black color.
Hence, if the clusters of water becomes bigger, clouds becomes darker and
heavier. Dark clouds appear and its heavy water droplets are ready to fall as
raindrops. As this happens, we experience the rain.

Here’s more!

Smart Challenge!
With the help of someone at home, look for available resources in the
internet, research on other interesting facts about nature and properties of
light. Facts that would give you additional information about:
1. Electromagnetic wave and light.
2. How do we see colors of the opaque and transparent objects?

It’s done! In summary, we can now tell that the colors of the objects
surrounding us are the result of the interaction between light and the
materials. Scattering of colors of light in the atmosphere, gives us an
awesome everyday experience of the nature’s way of painting the world with
colors.
Don’t ever forget our learnings.

Remember these:

● The colors of light are only revealed when light is refracted and dispersed,
when it hits a transparent or refractive medium such as water, raindrops
or glass prism.

15
● Refraction is the bending property of light as it passes through one
transparent substance into another, while dispersion is the splitting of
light into seven distinct colors.

● Light is made up of seven (7) different colors: RED, ORANGE, YELLOW,

GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO, and VIOLET (ROYGBIV). These colors are
arranged in the ascending order of frequency and energy and descending
order of wavelengths.

● Red has the longest wavelength that propagates at the lowest frequency
and carries the least energy among the seven colors of light.
● On the other hand, violet has the shortest wavelength yet carries the
greatest amount of energy and propagates at highest frequency.

● These colors of light are visibly seen in rainbows in the skies observed
after the rain or storm, generally during daytime.

● When light passes from a less dense to a denser substance, (for example
passing from air into water), the light is refracted (or bent) towards the
normal.

● When white light passes from air into a glass prism, violet bends the most
and red bends the least. The other colors are bent by an amount between
violet and red.

● When the light exits the prism, the light is separated into the colors in the
visible spectrum.

● During the sunset all the blue light (bent the most) is scattered away and
the light that reaches the eyes is red which has a longer wavelength (bent
the least). Thus, we see the sunset red.

● The colors of the object are the colors of light reflected from the object and
transmitted to our eyes.

● The object appears black when all the colors of light were absorbed;
appears white when all the colors of light were reflected; and colored when
some of the colors of light were reflected and some were absorbed.

3. Red light has the longest wavelength and is bent the least. Violet light has the
shortest wavelength and is bent the most. Thus violet light travels more slowly
through glass than does any other color.
