Study Notes
Waves and Their Applications - Unit 1, Module L
- Standard (MS-PS4-2): Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials.
Day 1 - Light Reflection
-
Objectives:
- Define reflection
- State the law of reflection
- Draw ray diagrams of light reflection
- Explain how reflection allows us to see objects
- Predict the angle of incidence from the angle of reflection
Keywords
- Reflection
- Incident ray
- Reflected ray
- Angle of incidence
- Angle of reflection
Starter Activity
- Use a flashlight or laser pointer and a mirror to demonstrate how light reflects off a surface. Observe how light behaves when it hits a shiny surface.
Reflection
- Reflection is the bouncing of light off a surface (e.g., a mirror).
- Luminous objects emit their own light (e.g., a flame, bulb, firefly).
- Non-luminous objects do not emit light; they reflect light from a source (e.g., a ball, moon, tree).
Luminous and Non-Luminous Objects
- Luminous: Firefly, bulb, torch, fire, sun, stars
- Non-luminous: Ball, moon, earth, tree, cloth, house
Direction of Light
- Light waves travel from their source in all directions.
- When a light wave hits an object, the light wave may change direction.
- Light travels in a straight line until it hits a surface (light ray).
Group Discussion
- Light rays did not enter the observer's eyes, so they could not see the torch.
How Do We See Objects
- Light from a source (like the sun) falls on an object.
- The object reflects light in all directions.
- The reflected light reaches our eyes.
- Our brain receives the information from our eyes and allows us to see the object.
Checking Understanding
- Describe how you can see any object in your classroom.
Law of Reflection
- The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection when a ray of light reflects off a surface.
Independent Activity
- Find the angle of reflection.
Check Your Understanding
- Calculate angle I and angle r.
Peer Assessment
- If the angle of incidence is 20 degrees, the angle of reflection is 20 degrees.
- If the angle of incidence is 45 degrees, the angle between the incident ray and reflecting surface is 45 degrees.
Day 2 - 3 - 4
- Day 2: Parent-teacher conference (early dismissal)
- Day 3: Assessment 2
- Day 4: Project: Identifying Waste Issues in the School. Conduct a waste audit, categorizing types of waste and recording their amounts.
