Amazing Light
Light is amazing!
It is not a pure colour!
Light contains all the colours in the rainbow.
Just look at the table in front of you:#
a red box, a green pencil, a blue notebook.
The light comes in from the window.
It hits the red box.
The box absorbs all the colours in light, except red.
The red part of the light,# bounces off the box, into your eyes.
So what you see is a red box!
The same thing is happening# with the green pencil and the blue notebook.
And it all happens as quick as a flash.
Or rather, as quick as light!
Did you realize that light travels# really, really, really fast?
Sound travels fast too,# but not as fast as light.
Have you ever sat high up# in a baseball game?
Have you ever noticed# how you see the guy hit the ball?
Then a split second later,# you hear the chunk of the ball on the bat.
That is all because# light travels faster than sound.
You see faster than you hear.
It is the same with a storm.
You have seen lightening, right?
You have heard thunder too.
They both happen at the exact same time.
But which do you notice first?
The lightening!
Why?
You got it!
Because light travels faster than sound!
You see the lightening,# then you hear the thunder.
Amazing!
