英语流利说 Level5 Unit2 Part2 Light and Color

如题所述

第1个回答  2022-08-02
People have wondered about the nature of light and color since ancient times.

Some people thought that light came from the eye rather than coming into the eye.  来自眼睛 而不是进入眼睛

To see, light was projected from our eyes to illuminate things as we look at them.

Now we know that what we see is mostly reflected light ,  like the light from the moon which is reflected sunlight.

Light comes from a light source , such as the Sun, and either enters our eyes directly or after it has reflected off something.

(What is the source of the light we see when we look at the moon?)   the sun

(Besides the sun, what is another example of a direct light source? ) a fire or a flashlight

(To illuminate something means?)  to make it visible

In 1666, Sir Isaac Newton showed that when light passes through a prism , it sep a rates into all the othe r colors. 当光通过棱镜时,它会分离为所有其他颜色

This clearly demonstrated that light is composed of many different colors.

The difference between colors is due to their wavelength.

A prism sep a rates light into different colors because each color has a different wavelength.

The angle at which a color bends in a prism depends on its wavelength.

(What determines the color of light?)  its wavelength

(What can separate light into its component  colors?)   A prism

(The angle at which a color bends in a prism)  depends on its wavelength

Colors with shorter wavelength s bend more than colors with longer wavelength s .

This explains why red light bends less than yellow light.

The reason is because its wavelength is longer.

Of all the visible colors, violet light has the shortest wavelength, so it bends the most.

(Of the visible colors, which color has the shortest wavelength? ) violet

(A prism separates light into its component colors.)

(Each color is a single wavelength of light.)

violet    adj.紫罗兰色的; 蓝紫色的;

If you have ever painted, you know that different colors can be combined to create new colors.

For example, if you add white to a color, you lighten it.

However the three primary colors, red, blue and yellow, can not be made by mixing other colors.

It isn't possible to mix any combination of colors to create red, blue or yellow.

Mixing two  primary colors create s a new secondary color, such as purple, which is made by mixing blue and red.

Mixing three primary colors create s a   tertiary color, such as brown or grey .

(Which colors can not be created by combining other colors?) the primary colors

(What happens to a color if you add white to it?) It gets lighter

(The primary colors can not be created by mixing other colors.)

(How can you create a secondary color?)  mixing two primary colors
