Light- Script 9G

KatieHello and welcome to our presentation on light Emma-To begin what is light? Light is a form of energy which our sense of sight can detect. It is made of electro-magnetic radiation and travels in a straight path. SophieGenerally speaking, artificial lighting is lighting which is man made, such as fluorescent, tungsten, mercury vapor, sodium vapor, halogen, compact fluorescent, et cetera. It can be turned on and off at a flick of a switch. EleanorThere are also very special types of artificial light for specific purposes Such as infrared heat lamps, ultraviolet lights for plant growth and tanning. In photography, different light sources have a different color temperature which can be compensated for with special filters or simulated with special lighting. A flash simulates the light of the sun for a fraction of a second. Louisa-Without sunlight, plants die, then animals die. Without sunlight earth's atmosphere cools. Note that the Earth does not immediately freeze. The Earth's interior contains many radioactive elements and as they decay the heat released will keep the interior warm for a long time to come. The surface, however, will rapidly radiate heat into space, and fall to the temperature of the solar system's outer planets. Katie- Earth's oceans contain considerable latent heat, these would require months or years to freeze solid. The ocean surfaces would begin freezing from the poles towards the equator within a matter of weeks. Grass and trees would begin dying within days. Pine trees would last among the longest as these can remain buried beneath ice for months at a time. Water would precipitate out of the atmosphere, making the air very dry and cold. EmmaQUIZ TIME!
