Science Group 4 Einstein Visible Light

Visible light is the portion of electromagnetic waves that can be seen by the human eye, discovered by Isaac Newton in 1665 through experiments with prisms. It consists of various colors, each with distinct wavelengths and frequencies, ranging from violet (380 nm) to red (700 nm). Visible light has numerous applications, including vision, lighting, and medical imaging.

LIGHT
What is Visible Light?

 Visible light is that section of


electromagnetic waves that is
perceivable to human eyes.
When and Who discovered Visible Light?
It was discovered by
Isaac Newton in 1665 by
taking Roger Bacon's
discovery of visible light by
looking through a glass of
water, a little farther as he
tried the experiment more
and finally wrote his
thoughts down about the
rainbow colors he saw
When and Who discovered Visible Light?

In1665, Isaac Newton


took a glass prism and
held it up to a beam of
sunlight streaming
through the window.
When and Who discovered Visible Light?
He saw the sunlight
that passed through the
prism spread out into
the colors of the rainbow
such as red, orange,
yellow, green, blue,
indigo, and violet.
WAVELENGTH

As the full spectrum of visible


light travels through a prism, the
wavelengths separate into the
colors of the rainbow because
each color is a different
wavelength.
WAVELENGTH

Violet has the shortest


wavelength, at around 380
nanometers, and red has the
longest wavelength, at around
700 nanometers.
WAVELENGTH
Each color of the rainbow can be
explained as a ray of light that
is transmitted at a particular
level of energy (with a particular
wavelength). The
shorter wavelength
corresponds with

FREQUEN
Visible Light has a CY
frequency
range of around 400 THz to
800 THz.
 Each color of the
rainbow/visible lights has their
distinct frequency range.

DID YOU
KNOW?
Wavelength and Frequency has
an indirect relationship.
o Because, the higher the frequency,
the shorter the wavelength.
Likewise, the lower the frequency,
the longer the wavelength.
ENERGY LEVE
The range of photon energies
for visible light from red to violet is
1.63 to 3.26 eV, respectively.
o These energies are on the order of those
between outer electron shells in atoms and
molecules. This means that these photons can
be absorbed by atoms and molecules.
