We need energy for everything we do.







TYPES OF ENERGY

There are many different forms of energy:


  1. Electrical energy
  2. Thermal energy
  3. Light energy
  4. Kinetic energy
  5. Chemical energy
  6. Nuclear energy

What is a renewable energy source? A renewable energy source is a source of energy that will never run out.
What is a non-renewable energy source? ...

Remeber: Is it forever???

LIGHT

- Def: Light is a form of energy.
- Light sources: Sun (Natural), Bulb (Man-made) and candles (Man- made).
- Properties: Light travels in all directions, light travels in straight line and light travels very fast.


PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH LIGHT THEY LET THROUGH:

Transparent - Translucent - Opaque




THE COLOURS OF LIGHT

Light looks white, but it is actually made up of seven colours: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, the colours of the rainbow.
