 Properties of visible light (hui xing)
● Wave length about 10^-5cm

● Visible light is under the range of EM spectrum

● Examples of visible light:

○ Things that gives out glow and light

■ Sun

■ Light bulbs

■ Candles

■ Fire

■ glow sticks

■ Television
 Functions and properties ( Lee Ain)
● Dark absorption lines in the visible light spectrum are observable properties of visible light. These lines serve
as markers for missing wavelengths, which are used by scientists to study the composition of stars.

● Scientists can also determine the composition of objects by knowing the absorption spectrum of each element.
By knowing the absorption spectrum of each element, they can use spectroscopes to determine the chemical
composition of stars, dust, and other objects because each element absorbs light at specific wavelengths.

 Advantage of visible ray ( kaung
sett)
-It allows us to see with our eyes
-Can be used in the form of a laser for healthcare, engineering and telecommunications

 Advantage of visible ray ( lee Ain )
● It is used in fibre optic communications, where coded pulses of light travel through glass fibres from a source
to a receiver.

● It is also used in photography and illumination, since it is light that we can see.

 Disadvantage of visible ray (Ziz ping)
Radiation of visible light exerts biologic effect

● erythema pigment
● thermal damage
● free radical production

Visible light exposures can cause

● solar urticaria
● chronic actinic dermatitis
● cutaneous porphyrias

 Disadvantage of visible ray (kaung
sett)
-Images cannot be captured by normal cameras in low light environments
-Causes light pollution

 Special unique feature of visible ray
(Hui xing)
● It is the only ray that is detectable by human bare eyes

● it consist of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

○ Has different frequency and wavelength

○ Combined and create white light

● white light can be spread and broken down into the colours of visible light spectrum
