Questions and Answers

What distinguishes non-luminous objects from luminous objects?

Non-luminous objects do not emit their own light and can only be seen when light from a luminous object reflects off them.

Explain how we are able to see the Moon at night.

We see the Moon because it reflects sunlight into our eyes, even though it does not generate its own light.

Define transparent materials and give two examples.

Transparent materials allow all light to pass through them, enabling clear visibility; examples include glass and water.

What are translucent materials and how do they differ from transparent materials?

<p>Translucent materials allow only some light to pass through, making visibility unclear; they differ from transparent materials which allow all light to pass.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Describe the behavior of opaque materials towards light.

<p>Opaque materials do not allow any light to pass through them, preventing visibility of objects behind them.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What defines a source of light, and can you name two examples?

<p>A source of light is an object that gives off light. Examples include the Sun and electric bulbs.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the difference between luminous and non-luminous objects? Provide an example of each.

<p>Luminous objects emit their own light, such as the Sun, while non-luminous objects do not emit light and can only be seen when illuminated, like a book.</p> Signup and view all the answers

How does light enable us to see objects at night?

What are natural and man-made sources of light? Give one example for each.

<p>Natural sources of light occur in nature, such as the Sun, while man-made sources are created by humans, like electric bulbs.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Explain the concept of rectilinear propagation of light.

<p>Rectilinear propagation of light means that light travels in straight lines unless it hits an obstacle or medium.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Light

  • Light is a form of energy needed to see objects
  • Sunlight is a natural light source
  • Other natural sources include stars, meteors, and fireflies
  • Man-made sources include light bulbs, electric tubes, candles, and torches
  • Luminous objects emit their own light (e.g., sun, stars, burning candle)
  • Non-luminous objects don't emit light on their own; they reflect light from a source to be seen (e.g., table, chair, moon)

Sources of Light

  • Natural sources include the sun, stars
  • Man-made sources include light bulbs, lamps, and torches

Types of Materials

  • Transparent: Allow all light to pass through (e.g., glass, air, water)
  • Translucent: Allow some light to pass through, but not all (e.g., frosted glass, butter paper)
  • Opaque: Do not allow any light to pass through (e.g., wood, metal)

Rectilinear Propagation of Light

  • Light travels in straight lines.
  • This can be demonstrated through experiments like using a torch in a dark room.
