Hector is demonstrating the properties of light to his class. He tapes two pieces of construction paper—one blue and one red—on the classroom wall. He makes sure all the window blinds are closed to help make the room completely dark. He then instructs another student to turn off all the lights. Hector shines a beam of light from a flashlight onto the blue paper and then onto the red paper. Will the students be able to see the light traveling through the room as it hits the paper? Or will they only see the paper Hector shines the light on? Write down your predictions. Font Sizes

Answer:

Yes because the light from the sun will hit the paper and then when you add the flashlight the beam of light or color will do through

Answer:

I would have to say no. Light travels super fast, and if you did it would be gone in a blink of an eye. Light from a flashlight travels 300,000,000 per second. The only way you can see light traveling from the flashlight is if there is a lot of dust, air, and debris.
