Introduction
What exactly is visible spectrum?
Visible spectrum is the range of wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum whose length in vacuum is in between 1mm and 1nm . Visible spectrum is found in the middle of the electromagnetic spectrum.
I'm offering you a chance to find out more about visible spectrum and the theory of it and it's role in our everyday life! In order to gain maximum knowledge, there are several videos about it and a chance to use your gained knowledge practically.
Task
Your task is simple: using the materials you will be given, explore this topic and if needed, do some online research yourself. After that,write three problems about this topic and solve them.
Process
STEP ONE
- Start off with clicking here , watch the video and read the article to gain overall knowledge about this topic.
- this link will show you the same theory only a little more complicated.
- on this website you can broaden your horizons by learning a bit more about electromagnetical spectrum itself, as well as do some exercises and test your knowledge.
- now you can have a little fun with this tool and learn how prism works!
- you can also check out this website and see if more illustration helps you understand how light and colours work.
Here is another video about electromagnetic waves that you might find useful.
Now it's time for you to test yourself - write three problems covering the topic of visible spectrumand try to solve them! For an example you can use this file.
Evaluation
Now, either print out or send online your problems and their solutions and give them to your teacher, so they could correct your mistakes and help you understand why did they occur in the first place.
If you don't feel confident enough to give it to your teacher, have a family member or classmate check it out first!
Conclusion
Good job, now you know why we see colours,where do they come from and all the other things there is to know about visible spectrum! YAY!
