guide questions.

Guide Questions:
1. What material is used on the inner part of the wire?
2. What material is used for the outer part of the wire?
3. Why is copper commonly used in our electrical wirings?
4. What do you think will happen if there is no plastic or rubber
that covers the wire?
A rainbow appears in the sky as a result
of a reflection and refraction of white
light from the sun as it shines through the
water droplets act as prism that reflects,
refracts and then splits the white light
into an arc of visible colors, red, Orange,
Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet
(ROYGBIV). The light that is visible to the
human eye is called visible light or simply
light. The visible light is only a part of the
electromagnetic spectrum (EM).
The electromagnetic shows the entire range
of waves present in our world. The primary
source of visible light is the sun. The visible
light allows us to see the color that is not
absorbed by the objects. For example, we see
most plants as green because the plants
absorbed all colors of the visible light except
for green. To understand light further, you
have to study how it interacts with different
objects. This branch of science is called
Optics. Optics is the study of the refraction,
reflection and transmission of light.
Can you imagine living in a world
without light where you can’t see
anything, and you can only sense
most objects by sound, touch, and
smell? How do you think you would
feel?
The light that your eyes react to is
named visible or white light. It is a kind
of energy that will be seen once
reflected off the surface of an object
and is responsible for the sense of sight.
It travels in straight lines. The primary
source of visible light is the sun.
However, the visible or white light is not
simply made of one color only; it
includes all the wavelengths of light that
the human eye can detect.
White light consists of colors called the
light spectrum or commonly called the
rainbow colors. It is referred to as
visible light because it permits us to see
completely different colors. But how will
it happen? To understand the process,
we should study light more and the way
it interacts with different objects. This
branch of science is Optics. Optics is a
branch of physics that deals with the
with the behavior and properties of
light, the interaction between light and
matter, and instruments that detect
light. It includes the study of absorption,
transmission, reflection, and refraction
of light.
Almost everything that can be seen depends
on the light in many ways. For example, we
see most plants as green because leaves
absorb all colors of visible light except green.
Regardless of the colors of the objects we
see, it is precisely the colors that those
objects bounce back. It even needs light to
see everything on the screen of televisions,
video games, and computers. Without light,
we would not see how beautiful the world is
like rainbow colors, sunset, sunrise, or full
moon in the night sky!

Light is the source of all life on our planet.
Light interaction with matter is an important
part of our everyday lives. Not only is this
what makes us see things in the first place,
light-matter interaction is also responsible for
phenomena such as our reflection in the
mirror, oil on water appearing to have color,
and the sky being blue. Give at least two (2)
importance of light interaction in our daily
lives.
How light interact with the different
materials?
