You learned how light and matter interact. Matter can transmit, absorb, and reflect light. Visible light includes a range of colors and is the only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we can see. Read the scenario about light and answer the questions in complete sentences. You have a blue backpack and you look at it through blue glass. What color would the backpack appear to be? Suppose you took the same blue backpack and looked at it through red glass, what color would the backpack appear to be? Explain your answers.

Paragraph Styles 1. When you see an object, you're either seeing the light it made/created by itself, or the light that bounced off of it (reflected) that came from somewhere else. a) List some examples of objects that make their own light in the room you're in. List what color of light you see for each object. b) List some examples of objects that you see because they reflect light in your room.

How do light and matter interact? There are 4 ways: Emission, Absorption, Transmission (transparent objects transmit light. Opaque objects block/absorb light), and Reflection/scattering What are the main/basic definitions and differences of these in reference to interactions of light with matter? My professor had given an example using a picture that had a house, a man standing in it with furniture, snow outside, a tree, and the sun. He pointed out the different colors and how they related to these terms but he was very quick and I don't feel like I understand how each of these things can be distinguished.
Create a transcript for a video that uses Physics to answer ONE of the following questions in less than 3 minutes. The transcript should be able to be used for a 2-3 minute long video. Why is the sky blue? Why do we see a rainbow when the sun shines after rain? Why does a spoon seem to bend in a clear glass of water? Why are there rainbows in oil spots on the driveway? How can light help us measure small distances, such as the thickness of a single piece of hair? How do anti-glare coatings on eyeglasses work?

well I forgot to inform you that I am blind and got images again. I can't see those with my screen reader...the reader doesn't read out that data. so could you just write that in literal html text...the characters you are literally reading right now? thanks.
Integrated Tutorial In a science fiction story, a major character pilots his own spacecraft, which is propelled by a stellar sail. As shown in the figure (not drawn to scale) a stellar sail is a large reflecting sheet attached to a spacecraft, much like an ordinary cloth sail is attached to a boat. Light from the star reflects off the sail, exerting a force on the sail. In the story, the spacecraft is small, and the single passenger sits in a small capsule. The trip is a short one, and there are no facilities in the capsule for rest, exercise, or nourishment. So we estimate the mass of the spacecraft, including the passenger and the stellar sail, to be m = 7000 kg. We further estimate the area of the stellar sail to be A = 8000 m2. Say that the mass of the star is M = 8 M, and its luminosity is L = 2170 Le, where the subscript o stands for the Sun. The mass of the Sun and its luminosity are 1.99 x 1030 kg and 3.84 x 1026 w, respectively. Find an approximate expression for the net force…
