•So what do you know about light?
Depth & Light•Can you name the parts of a light wave?

wavelength

Depth & Light
•Different wavelengths produce different colors. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/
File:Colors_and_wavelengths.png
Depth & Light•Sunlight, is white light.•It has all wavelengths & colors. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/
File:Colors_and_wavelengths.png
Depth & Light•We can use a prism to separate colors by wavelength.

Depth & Light•What is the order?•ROY G. BIV

Depth & Light•When light hits a material like water it is:•Reflected,•Absorbed,•or transmitted.
incident ray
reflected
transmitted
absorbed
Depth & Light
•What is the color of water?
Depth & Light
•What is the color of water?•BLUE
Depth & Light•What is the color of water?•BLUE
•What happens when light passes through a blue material?
Depth & Light•What happens when light passes through a blue material?•Every color but blue is absorbed
Absorbed light
transmitted light
Depth & Light•So what happens to color at different
depths of the ocean?
•Materials :•black felt represents the aphotic zone •square felt pieces in assorted colors (ROY G.BV)•Blue plastic “goggles” to represent layers of water
Depth & Light•PROCEDURE:
•Place black felt with color pieces face-up.•Add one blue layer at a time in front of your eyes.•Put an “X” in the box for every color you can see.
Depth & Light - (copy the table)
layers R O Y G B V
0
1
2
3
4
RESULTS:What color (s) disappears with 1 layer? 2? 3?Is there any color which did not disappear?
layers R O Y G B V
0
1
2
3
4
Depth & Light•Some color’s travel deeper, due to shorter wavelength.•Violet gets scattered by water.

Depth & Light•How does that affect the organisms that live in the ocean?
Depth & Light
Depth & LightPROCEDURE:
•Grab the first 10 pieces you can see. (no feeling around!)•Record results.•Repeat for your partner.•Total your results.
Depth & Light• PROCEDURE: (copy the table)

1) Design your own
camouflage pattern

1) Use data from your experiments to design your own camouflage pattern
2) Write a paragraph describing your camouflage pattern.Use data from your experiment to explain why you chose the colors in the pattern.
