characteristics of plane mirror
1) Virtual 2) laterally inverted 3) distance between the object and the mirror is the same as the distance between the image and the mirror 4) upright
277
characteristics of concave mirror
1) Virtual 2) Upright 3) Magnified 4) Laterally inverted
278
characteristics of convex mirror
1) Virtual 2) Upright 3) Laterally inverted 4) Diminished (smaller)
279
uses of plane mirrors
Help dancers to correct their movements To make rooms look more spacious
280
uses of concave mirrors
magnifies the image to make it easier to apply makeup used by a dentist to make the patient's teeth look bigger
281
uses of convex mirrors
Used as a safety feature at dangerous corner of a road helps the shopkeeper to see every corner to prevent theft
282
whats periscope
Periscope is an instrument used in submarines to observe the sea surface. the sea surface is hit through the top mirror and is reflected. The light is then reflected again at the second mirror, right into the eye of the observer in the submarine
283
whats kaleidoscope
a toy that can create patterns using plane mirrors These patterns are obtained due to the repeated reflection of the image of the objects inside the kaleidoscope. Therefore, the number of images seen is more than the number of objects.
284
speed of light
3.0x108 ms-1
285
how does light travel
in a straight line
286
How are shadows formed?
1. Sunlight travels in straight lines 2. sunlight cannot pass through opaque objects 3. When light is blocked, shadow is formed.
287
is the length of shadow always the same
the length of shadow will be different based on the position of the sun shadow will become short in the afternoon and long in the evening
288
application of shadow
sundial shadow play
289
reflection of light
light bounces off the surface of an object
290
law of reflection
The angle of incident, i is equal to the angle of reflection, r
291
refraction of light
bending of a light ray when it enters a medium of different density
292
where does light bend towards when it travels from a less dense medium to a more dense medium
bends towards normal line
293
where does light bend towards when it travels from a more dense medium to a less dense medium
bends away from normal line
294
is light refracted when it hits the surface at 90 degrees
no!!
295
dispersion of light
separation of white light into its components of colours using prism
296
characters of light?!1
1. White light – consists of 7 colours 2. Different colour, different speed 3. Higher speed, less refracted
297
what colour has the highest speed and least refracted
red
298
what colour has the lowest speed and least refracted
violet
299
how is rainbow formed
Sunlight entering droplets of rain water will be refracted and dispersed into the seven colours of light. The seven colours of light are reflected and refracted out of the rain water droplets
