Original Prompt

When light shines on an object, it is reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through the object, depending on the object’s material and the frequency (color) of the light. (MS-PS4-2)Vocabulary absorb emit light light source

This learning resource focuses on the interactions of light with various materials, including reflection, absorption, and transmission. It introduces key concepts such as how light behaves when it encounters different surfaces, how amplitude relates to energy in light waves, and real-world applications such as solar panels and sunglasses. The document includes worked examples, guided and independent practice scenarios for students to explore light behavior, and an error analysis section to correct common misconceptions. Through a variety of exercises, students will enhance their understanding of light properties and their practical implications.
