Part 1 – Properties of LightPart 1 – Properties of Light
Light travels in straight lines:
Laser

Light travels VERY FAST – around 300,000 kilometres per second.
At this speed it can go around the world 8 times in one second.
![Page 5: Light presentation](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020207/559c96db1a28ab54298b477e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Light travels much faster than sound. For example:
1) Thunder and lightning start at the same time, but we will see the lightning first.
2) When a starting pistol is fired we see the smoke first and then hear the bang.

We see things because they reflect light into our eyes:

Luminous and non-luminous objects
A luminous object is one that produces light.
A non-luminous object is one that reflects light.
Luminous objects Reflectors

Shadows
Shadows are places where light is “blocked”:
Rays of light

The Law of ReflectionThe Law of Reflection
Angle of incidence = Angle of reflectionAngle of incidence = Angle of reflection
In other words, light gets reflected from a surface at ____ _____ angle it hits it.
The same !!!

Clear vs. Diffuse ReflectionClear vs. Diffuse Reflection
Smooth, shiny surfaces have a clear reflection:
Rough, dull surfaces have a diffuse reflection.
Diffuse reflection is when light is scattered in different directions

Using mirrorsUsing mirrorsTwo examples:
1) A periscope
2) A car headlight

ColourColourWhite light is not a single colour; it is made
up of a mixture of the seven colours of the rainbow.
We can demonstrate this by splitting white light with a prism:
This is how rainbows are formed: sunlight is “split up” by raindrops.
![Page 15: Light presentation](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020207/559c96db1a28ab54298b477e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Adding coloursAdding coloursWhite light can be split up to make separate colours.
These colours can be added together again.
The primary colours of light are red, blue and green:
Adding blue and red makes magenta (purple)
Adding blue and green makes cyan
(light blue)
Adding all three makes white again
Adding red and green makes yellow

Seeing colourSeeing colourThe colour an object appears depends on the colours
of light it reflects.
For example, a red book only reflects red light:
White
lightOnly red light is reflected

A white hat would reflect all seven colours:
A pair of purple trousers would reflect purple light (and red and blue, as purple is made up of red and blue):
Purple light
White

Using coloured lightUsing coloured light
If we look at a coloured object in coloured light we see something different. For example, consider a football kit:
White
light
Shorts look blue
Shirt looks red

In different colours of light this kit would look different:

Using filtersUsing filtersFilters can be used to “block” out different colours of light:
Red Filter
Magenta Filter

RefractionRefraction
Refraction is when waves ____ __ or slow down due to travelling in a different _________. A medium is something that waves will travel through. When a pen is placed in water it looks like this:
In this case the light rays are slowed down by the water and are _____, causing the pen to look odd. The two mediums in this example are ______ and _______.
Words – speed up, water, air, bent

Sound – The basicsSound – The basicsWe hear things when they vibrate.
If something vibrates with a high frequency (vibrates very ______) we say it has a _____ pitch.
If something vibrates with a low frequency (vibrates ______) we say it has a ____ pitch.
The lowest frequency I could hear was…
Words – slowly, low, high, quickly

Hearing problemsHearing problems
Our hearing range can be damaged by several things:
1) Too much ear wax!
2) Damage to the auditory nerve
3) Illness or infections
4) Old age (not like Mr Richards)

Other sound effects…Other sound effects…
Like light, sound can be…
1) Reflected – sound reflections are called ______.
2) Refracted – this is why you might sound strange if you try talking underwater

The EarThe EarLabel your diagram with the following:
These bones are vibrated by the eardrum This tube carries the sound towards the eardrumThis part is used to help us keep our balanceThis part “picks up” the vibrationsThis part of the ear contains many small hairs with turn vibrations into an electrical signalThis part connects the ear to the mouthThis part “channels” the sound towards the ear drum
