Properties of Light

Light is an element that makes things visible. Property is a characteristic or attribute that something owns.

One property of light is that: light can’t show through opaque (not able to see through) objects. The experiment showed that when Chisa covered the light with an opaque object the light didn't go through the opaque object.

Another property is that: light can create a rainbow because the prism shows all the lights colours from red to violet. The experiment showed that when Mr Wong put the flashlight on top of the prism it created a rainbow. This is because the prism seperated all the colours from red to violet.

Another property is that: light changes positions depending on the angle of the mirror. The experiment showed that when Chisa put the mirror in front of the flashlight on an angle the mirror reflected off it and when in another direction.

There are more properties of light on the DLO.
