Today in class we dove deeper into the electromagnetic spectrum, looked at additive color mixing and answered the question why darker colored clothes get hot quicker than lighter colored ones.
We discussed and looked at how white light is composed of the colors of the rainbow (roygbiv), also known as the visible spectrum, and how ultraviolet (uv) light is above violet, infra red (IR) is below red. We discussed that we experience different frequencies of EM radiation as color--just as we experience different frequencies of sound as pitch.
Finally, we completed the 'which color is hotter lab'--though we did not follow the procedure in the book--instead we made up our own because we wanted to use our nifty digital temperature probes.
Reminder--ten points of HW are due on Monday the 27th for A days, Tuesday the 28th for B days.
