Study Notes

Reflection

Reflection is the bouncing of light off a shiny surface.
Flashlights use reflection to direct light from a bulb into a beam.
The shiny surface of a flashlight reflects light in any desired direction.
Mirrors use reflection to show an image of objects.
Light travels in a straight line and cannot bend around objects.
Reflecting surfaces can create visual illusions, like multiple objects, such as the appearance of two swans in a picture.
Reflection is a common occurrence in everyday life.

Refraction

Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one material to another.
Light bends when it changes from one medium to another (e.g., air to water).
The path of light is affected by the material it is travelling through.
An example of refraction is how a flower stem in water appears to be broken.
Rainbows are formed by light being refracted by raindrops.
Magnifying glasses use refraction to make objects appear larger.
Refraction is important for people who wear glasses, as it helps them see clearly.
