WAVES
The first thing you must understand before we move on
to the relation between light and colour is waves. A
wave is a disturbance in space where this motion
transfers energy from one point to the next. A wave has
a high point (peak) and a low point (trough). The distance between the peak and the trough is known as the
wavelength. The amoung of energy present in the wave
determines how long the wave is. A long wave has a low
frequency and low energy whereas a short wave has a
high frequency and a high amount of energy.

Properties of waves:
Wave lenght distance from crest to crest.
T Period - Time between passage of successive crests.
V Frequency - Number of crest passages per unit time.
A Amplitude - Distance from level of crest to level of trough.

On the other hand a black stone is black because it absorbs all wavelengths of light. Therefore black is the
absence of light, just like a shadow.

Coloured Light
Transmitted
Transmission is when an objects allows light to pass
through it. The escaped light will be the colour of the
material it passes through.
Try this yourself
Take a glass of water and add some red food colour
into it. If you put the glass in the sunlight, you will see a
ray of red light on the other side. This is because the
red food colour only allows red light to pass through it.
You can do this with any colour, not just red.
