  • White light is a mixture of all the colors of the rainbow.
  • The study of light is called optics.
  • Intensity refers to the degree of brightness of light.
  • Light travels faster through some materials than others. This causes refraction (bending) of light as it passes from one material to another.
  • A prism separates white light into its component colors because different wavelengths bend at slightly different angles.
  • Light is just one form of electromagnetic radiation or electromagnetic waves.
  • What color of a star is the coolest?
    Red
  • What color of a star is the hottest?
    Blue
  • The higher the frequency, the higher the energy.
  • The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency.
  • The longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency.
