    WHAT IS LIGHT
    TYPES OF MATERIALS
    PROPERTIES OF LIGHT

    Light travels in straight lines:

    Lase

    LIGHT TRAVELS VERY FAST –
    AROUND 300,000 KILOMETRES
    PER SECOND.

    At this speed it can


    go around the
    world 8 times in
    one second.
    • 3: Light travels much faster
    than sound.
    • For example:
    1) Thunder and
    lightning start at
    the same time, but
    we will see the
    lightning first.
    2) When a starting
    pistol is fired we see
    the smoke first and
    then hear the bang.
    We see things because they reflect
    light
    into our eyes:

    Light ray
    • The path along which light energy travels
    is called a RAY.

    • It is represented by a straight line with


    an arrow to show its direction of motion.

    • A beam of light is a bundle of light rays.

    When a parallel beam of


    light is incident on a plane
    mirror, the angles of
    incidence of all the rays are
    equal. Thus all the rays are
    reflected in one direction.
    smooth surfaces
    Such reflection of light is
    called regular reflection.
    Two types of Reflection:
    1. Regular reflection ( Image formed
    by plane, a smooth surface, image
    can see by our eyes)

    Reflection

    When a parallel beam of


    light is incident on a rough
    surface, the rays are
    reflected in different
    directions. Such reflection of
    light is called diffuse
    rough surfaces
    reflection.
    (continue …)

    2. Diffuse reflection ( Image formed by


    white paper, with rough surface. Image
    formed usually not clear)
    Diffuse Reflection
    Laws of Reflection:
    • Law 1:
    • The incident ray, the reflected ray
    and the normal at the point of
    incidence all lie on the same plane.

    Angle i =Angle r
    • Law 2: The angle of incidence is equal to
    the angle of reflection.
    Shadows
    Shadows are places where light is
    “blocked”:

    PERISCOPES
    mirror Periscope
    :
    Periscopes are used
    in submarines so
    that people below
    the water surface
    can see what is
    mirror
    happening above.
    prism Periscope
    :
    Periscopes are used
    in submarines so
    that people below
    the water surface
    can see what is
    prism happening above.
    PERISCOPE
    • The periscope consists of two parallel plane
    mirrors (or prism) .
    • Could you guess at what angle should each
    mirror (or prism) be placed ?
    • Why ?
    • Which type of periscope is better ? Mirror or
    prism ? Why ?
    Reflection experiment
    You will need:
    Ray box
    Slit
    Paper
    Protractor
    Ruler
    Mirror
    Pencil
    Method

    1. Draw a mirror line on


    paper
    2. Add a normal line at
    90° to the mirror
    3. Put the mirror on the
    paper and shine the
    ray at it.
    4. Use a pencil to mark
    the incident and
    reflected rays.
    5. Measure the angles
    between the incident
    and reflected rays.
    Example
    The 1
    diagram shows a ray of light being
    reflected by a plane mirror MN.
    Which one of the following statements is
    completely correct ?
    A LP is the incident ray, PR
    is the reflected ray and x is
    the angle of reflection.
    B. LP is the reflected ray, x is the angle of

    C
    incidence and y is the angle of
    reflection.
    C. LP is the incident ray, x is the angle of
    incidence and y is the angle of reflection.
    D. PQ is the normal, x = y, and PR is the
    incident ray.
    Example
    2diagram shows a ray of light reflected in a
    The
    plane mirror.
    What is the angle of reflection?

    Angle incidence = 900 - 400


    = 50 0
    Angle of reflection = Angle of incidence
    = 500
    Example
    A3
    ray of light is reflected from a plane
    mirror as shown in the diagram below:
    • What is the angle of
    incidence?
    • What is the size of
    the angle marked b?

    Angle of incidence = 900 - 100 = 800

    Angle b = 100
    Example
    4 diagram shows a ray of light striking a
    The
    plane mirror. What is the angle of
    incidence if the total angle between the
    incident ray and reflected ray is 70?

    Angle of incidence
    = Angle of reflection
    = 700 / 2
    = 350
    Identify the source of light and then draw the path the light takes
    in order for the person to see the house. You only need to draw
    the path of one light beam.

    In order to see an object, light is reflected off the object and intercepted by the
    eye. The light travels from its source, in this case the sun, to the object. It strikes
    the object and some of it is reflected off the object. The eye acts like a camera
    which captures this reflected light on the retina (film) for the brain to intercept.
