Light 4th Grade Science The Basic Properties of Light Brightness Colors Being visible  Brightness The intensity of light or brightness of light is related to the amount of light being seen. The closer the source of the light is, the greater the intensity or degree of brightness. The greater the distance the source of the light is, the lesser the intensity or brightness. Color Light, or “white light”, is made up of all colors of light mixed together. If white light is passed through a prism, it can be separated into light of different colors. The colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. These are the colors seen in a rainbow. The most common example of a spectrum is a rainbow! The rainbow is caused by sunshine (white light) shining on water droplets that are in the air just after a summer shower. Thousands of these water droplets break up the light, just like Sir Isaac Newtons prism. Can you make a rainbow? Of course! Make your own rainbow by turning on the garden hose, which has a nozzle that will make a fine mist, or spray. Make sure the sunlight is coming over your shoulder. You have made a rainbow. Visible In order for an object to be visible, it must either give off its own light (be a source of light) or it must reflect light. The Sun, a candle flame, or a flashlight gives off visible light. The Moon and many objects around us reflect light in order to be seen. Light is made of colors! · The different colors of light are revealed when white light is passed through a prism and separated into the different colors of the rainbow, called the spectrum. · These colors are related to the different amounts of energy in white light. · Each color represents a different amount of energy. Light is a form of energy! Energy · Energy is the ability to make something move, happen, or change. Light travels in a straight line away from the lightsource.  Reflection When light is reflected, it bounces back from a surface. Reflection allows objec
