Inquiry | Properties of Light

Property is a characteristic, quality or attribute that belongs to someone or something. Light is an element that makes things visible.

A property of light is that: light can be blocked by opaque (solid/not see through) objects. The experiment showed that when the opaque object was placed in front of the light, the opaque object blocked the light from passing.

Another property of light is that: light can reflect off of objects such as a mirror. The experiment showed that when the torch light was pointed at the mirror, the light bounced off and traveled in the opposite direction to where the torch was pointed.


Another property is that: light can create rainbows. The experiment showed that the light formed a rainbow after passing through the prism. This is because when light travels through a prism, the prism split all the colours from red to violet.
