ELICIT
4 PICS 1 WORD- The teacher will post a different pictures and the students will guess the word based on
the picture:
ENGAGE
The teacher will ask the students to close their eyes and answer the following questions:
What do you see?
Now, open your eyes and look at the things around you, What makes you see these things aside from your
eyes? What do you think is the reason why you didn’t see anything when you close your eyes?
Visible light makes us see the things around us. Light is an electromagnetic wave this means that it doesn’t
need a medium in order to propagate. Is there a light in a vacuum? Light is a form of energy made of
photons.
EXPLORE
The students will create a timeline about Theories of Light
EXPLAIN
Theories About Light
1. Christian Huygens (1690)- he proposed the Wave Theory of Light, according to this theory light
is form of energy and travels as a wave. This theory successfully explained the reflection,
refraction and diffraction. He considered light as a longitudinal wave.
REFLECTION- is the processes by which light and heat are sent back from a surface and do not pass through
it. When rays hit a smooth, shiny, flat surface, such as flat mirror, they are reflected perfectly to give a clear
but no reversed image. Rough surfaces cause light to bounce off different directions, so there is reflected
image.
An object can be seen by the light is it emits or reflects. An object that generates its own light is
called luminous object. An object that cannot produce its own light but receives and reflects light
from a luminous object is called an illuminated object or non luminous object. Thus, in the
absent of a luminous object, these object will not be seen, in order for us to see them, a light from
luminous object must be reflected.
REFRACTION- Bending of light. Light rays usually travel in a straight line but pass through different
media (materials)- such as air, water or glass – at different speeds. . When light moves from one medium
to another, the change in speed makes the beam change direction.
DIFFRACTION- refers to various phenomena that occur when a wave encounters an obstacle or opening.
It is defined as the bending of waves around the corners of an obstacle or through an aperture into the
region of geometrical shadow of the obstacle/aperture. Light bends when it passes around an edge or
through a slit. This bending is called diffraction. Light can travel as waves, because it behaves like other
types of waves, such as sound. Another feature of light wave is that, when they pass through a gap, or
around an obstacle they spread out.
2. Sir Isaac Newton (1678 A.D)Corpuscular Theory – one of the earliest study about light.
According to this theory, light is consist of small particles called “corpuscles”. These small particles
are produce by luminous sources (object that emit or send off their own light).
3. James Clark Maxwell (19th century) Electromegnetic Theory –he found a mathematical
equation for light known as the “Maxwell equation” which completely describe an electromagnetic
field on how it is produced by charges and current and how it is propagated in space and time. His
equation reveals that light is an electromagnetic wave, that is, a transverse wave that is partly
magnetic and partly electrical in nature. Light can also propagate in a vacuum.
Visible light ranges from 4.1 x 10 -7m to 7.6 x 10-7m or from 3.94x 1014 Hertz to 7.32 x 1014 Hertz.
4. Quantum Theory of Radiation – Albert Einstein (1905 AD) proposed this theory with the
assumption of Max Plank, according to this theory, light consist of a tiny packet of energy called
quanta or photons.
ELBORATE
Electromagnetic Spectrum
The electromagnetic radiation also known as electromagnetic wave (EM wave) is arranged in an
electromagnetic spectrum according to frequency or wavelength. The visible part of the spectrum is
subdivided according to color with the Red having the longest wavelength and Violet with the shortest
wavelength.The electromagnetic spectrum has the following colors in sequence: red, orange, yellow,
green, blue, violet and can be easily remember through the name ROYGBIV.
Q1.Which color registers the highest frequency? Shortest wavelength?
Q2. Which color registers the lowest frequency? Longest wavelength?
Q3. What did you observe with the wavelength and frequency of the different colors?
Q4. What did you observe with the product of wavelength and frequency?
Q5. Which color has the longest wavelength?
Q6. Which color have the shortest wavelength
All other colors can be broken down into different combinations of the three primary colors. (If
you're mixing material like paint, the primary colors are red, blue, and yellow... but for light, the
primary colors are red, blue and green!) White light is a combination of all colors in the color
spectrum. It has all the colors of the rainbow. Combining primary colors of light like red, blue,
and green creates secondary colors: yellow, cyan, and magenta.
The teacher will give an activity where the students will compute the speed of light.
Frequency (f) and wavelength (λ) are joined by the equation fλ = c, where c is the speed of light. As the
speed of light is constant, if you increase the frequency, the wavelength must decrease to maintain this
equation and vice versa. This means that the relationship between frequency and wavelength is
LIGHT INTENSITY
The power of light. it is the quantity that measures the amount of light illuminating a surface.
Illumination is the amount of light falling on a unit area of a surface. Illumination depends on two
factors: the brightness of the source and distance of the surface from the source.
PHOTOMETRY- The science of measuring the intensity or brightness of light.
The brightness of light depends on how far you are from the source. There is an inverse
relationship between distance and light intensity – as the distance increases, light intensity
decreases. This is because as the distance away from a light source increases, photons of light
become spread over a wider area.
In which situation can you see a brighter light?
