4. Teacher demonstration In these demonstrations, your teacher will use a laser pointer to illustrate some interesting phenomena related to light. Pls turn to PB page 63 for detail. Lesson Trigger What is light? How do you know this is true? What evidence do you have to show this property?

6. Seeing the Light When light meets any surface, reflection of light occurs. Reflection always involves two rays – an incoming or incident ray that strikes a surface, and an outgoing or reflected ray that leaves the same surface. Reflection of Light incident ray reflected ray

8. Reflection is great! The fact that light reflects off objects allow us to see them. When light reflects from a smooth surface, it maintains its geometry. Incident parallel rays are reflected as parallel reflected rays. This is called specular reflection . Specular Reflection smooth surface

9. When a reflecting surface is rough, diffuse reflection occurs. The law of reflection still holds, but incident parallel rays do not reflect as parallel rays any more. In diffuse reflection, the reflected rays leave the surface at so many different directions such that the image is disrupted. Diffuse Reflection rough surface

10. On a mirror or a calm water surface, reflection is specular. The image formed on such surfaces are clear and sharp. However, if the surface is rough, or the water surface is disturbed, diffuse reflection occurs. The image formed is blur. Specular and diffuse Reflection

11. A directed straight line is normally drawn to represent a ray, which is the path taken by light from source to target. A beam of light is a stream of light rays, and is represented by a number of directed straight lines. Representing Light source target

12. Reflect on your daily encounters with light, (a) generate one other possible evidence to support the statement that 'light travels in a straight line', and discuss with your partner how you can demonstrate your statement with a safe, simple activity. (b) list two examples each for diffuse and specular reflections around you. Lesson Closure

14. The image of an object is formed on a plane mirror when light ray from the object incidents on the mirror. object Light will reflect at a mirror surface such that the angle of incidence and reflection are equal. i r Image on a plane mirror plane mirror

15. There are many light rays reflected from an object to reach the mirror surface. However, only some light rays will be captured by the eyes. To view the image of an object in a mirror, the eye should be positioned along the direction where the reflected rays from the mirror can be captured by the eye. object Drawing Ray Diagrams plane mirror

16. To the eye, the light ray reaching the eye appears to come from the image behind the mirror. object This type of image is called a virtual image because it is formed at a place where there is no light from the object. The mirror simply makes the light appear to be coming from behind it. Drawing Ray Diagrams plane mirror

17. Steps involved in drawing ray diagrams 1 st - draw the image of the triangle, such that it is of the same size and same shape, and as far behind the mirror as the object is in front. Supposing a triangular object is placed in front of a mirror. We can draw a ray diagram to show how the eye sees the image in the mirror. Drawing Ray Diagrams plane mirror image object x cm x cm

18. 2 nd – draw two diverging rays from any point on the image towards where the eye is positioned. 3rd – draw two diverging rays from the corresponding point on the object to the mirror to meet the reflected rays. Drawing Ray Diagrams Go to E-SimPhy_308.exe object plane mirror image

Refraction of Light Lesson objectives

24. Behaviour of light When a beam of light encounters an obstacle in its path, a number of things can happen: 1 Reflection - 2 Refraction - 3 Absorption - The degree of each effect depends on the nature of the materials the light is incident upon. Refraction of Light

26. When will refraction occur? Why does refraction occur? 2 Refraction occurs because light travel with different speed when in media of different optical densities. Refraction of Light 1 Refraction occurs whenever light passes between transparent media of different optical densities.

27. Refraction of Light air glass The more optically dense the material, the slower the speed of light in that material The change in speed at the transparent boundary between two media causes light to change direction. Air has lower optical density – faster. Glass has higher optical density – slower. Air has lower optical density – faster. Optical density of glass > water > air > vacuum
