Light+&+Colour


 * We have been learning that light is a form of energy that can be manipulated. **


 * Light is a form of energy, it comes from a variety of sources, including the Sun.
 * Light energy travels out in all directions from its source at approximately 300 000 km/s
 * Light travels in straight lines and can be reflected and refracted. Prisms, mirrors, water, and glass change the direction in which light travels.
 * Lenses or mirrors can be used to concentrate or spread out light.
 * Light can be split up into a spectrum of different colours.
 * Light can travel through space, air, many liquids, and some solids.
 * Darkness results when light is absent. Shadows result when light is unable to pass through a substance.
 * An object that emits or reflects light can be seen.
 * The image in a flat mirror is laterally inverted (Left and right sides appear in reverse).
