Study Notes
Light
- Light allows us to see objects
- Light can be reflected or emitted from objects
- The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection
- Light rays travel in straight lines
- Mirrors can reflect light
Visible Things
- Objects are visible when light from them enters our eyes
- Light can be emitted or reflected from objects
- Eyes alone cannot see objects in the dark
- Polished/shiny surfaces act as mirrors, changing light direction
- Reflected light is called the reflected ray
Laws of Reflection
- The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection
- All three rays- the incident ray, normal ray, and reflected ray lie on the same plane
Regular Reflection
- Light rays bounce off smooth surfaces in a predictable way, creating a clear image
- Examples of regular reflection include mirrors
Diffused Reflection
- Light rays bounce off rough surfaces in many directions, creating a distorted or unclear image
- Examples of diffused reflection include paper, walls, and most objects
Multiple Images
- Two or more mirrors can create multiple reflections of an object
- The number of images formed depends on the angle between the mirrors
Kaleidoscope
- A device with mirrors that creates symmetrical patterns
- Multiple reflections form vibrant patterns
Sunlight
- Sunlight is white light
- White light is made up of seven colours
- Splitting light into colours is called dispersion
The Eye
- The eye is the sense organ for sight
- Cornea, iris, pupil, lens and retina are all part of the eye
- The lens focuses light on the retina
- Cones allow us to see colours, while rods allow us to see in dim light
- Each part has its own purpose
- The eye adjusts its focus and pupil size to regulate light intake
