Let there be light.
We are studying the properties of light in science class and this brings us to the study of the electromagnetic spectrum. I found a good powerpoint on this subject from Slideshare. It’s hard getting your mind around the dual properties of light: both a wave and a particle. Slideshare is a good place to find relevant science content and I go there often.
I introduce this topic from my experience of scuba diving. As one goes deeper, light is absorbed and everything gets bluer. As you can see from this picture, I am down about 25 feet and the water is already all blue. This photo was taken in the Florida Keys a few years back. It’s at the Christ of the abyss dive location. I also tie this topic together with photography and how light and lighting play an important role in photo composition.
