Questions and Answers

What causes the optical illusion observed when looking at a straw in a glass of water?

  • Absorption of light
  • Diffraction of light
  • Refraction of light (correct)
  • Reflection of light
  • Why does the image of a fish underwater appear to be in a different location?

  • Because of the water's color
  • Due to the size of the fish
  • Due to the refraction of light (correct)
  • Because the fish is moving quickly
  • In the context of light refraction, what is indicated by the term 'different refraction ability'?

  • The distance light travels through air
  • The capacity of light to absorb energy
  • The varying angles at which colors bend (correct)
  • The speed of light in a vacuum

    Study Notes

    Day 1: Importance of Science

    • Science is important.

    Waves and Their Applications

    • Unit 1, Module L covers waves and their uses.

    Standard (MS-PS4-2)

    • Waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through different materials.

    Day 2: Day-to-Day Applications of Refraction and Lab Simulation

    • List day-to-day applications of refraction.
    • Explain what an optical illusion is.
    • Investigate refraction of light in different media.

    Vocabulary

    • Optical illusion

    Starter

    • Illusion: a deceptive/pretended appearance or impression.

    What is Optical Illusion

    • Your mind can be tricked by refraction.
    • A straw in water appears bent due to refraction.
    • Light doesn't travel in a straight line when passing from one medium to another (like water to air).
    • Our brains expect light to travel in a straight line, creating optical illusions.

    Search for the World Optical Illusion

    • Find various optical illusions.

    Check Your Understanding

    • A young bird learning to catch fish faces challenges.

    Which One is the Actual or Real Fish?

    • A diagram shows a fish appears in a different position than its actual location.

    Due to Refraction

    • Fish may not appear where they are actually located.

    Day-to-Day Experience of Refraction (Optical Illusion)

    • Refraction makes objects appear bent.

    Group Activity-Lab Simulation, Take Out Your Device and Investigate How Different Light Colors Refract in Glass Prism

    • Use a simulation to investigate how light behaves through a prism
    • Different colors refract at different angles.

    Independent Activity (Worksheet 3)

    • Worksheet 3 is assigned as an independent activity.

    Day 3 & 4

    • Project presentations are scheduled for days 3 and 4.
