Star Light
• It takes 4.3 years for light from Alpha Centauri to reach earth
• So you are seeing light that is 4.3 years old• If Alpha Centauri was to blow up right now
you wouldn’t see the effect for 4.3 years.

Science in Action
• Herald Sun 5/3/08
• A Star approx 8000 light years away might explode
• If it did it could destroy earth!
• We have plenty of time to prepare!
![Page 9: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Luminous or Non-Luminous?• Luminous: Emit their own light
• Non-Luminous: Reflect Light
• Most objects we see are non-luminous
• If an object gives off light as well as heat it is called an Incandescent object.

Bioluminescent
• Bioluminescent refers to a living organism that is able to emit light.
• The mouse on the right has had the gene for a bioluminescent protein cloned into it.
• Can you think of any other bioluminescent organisms?
![Page 11: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Light and Objects
• Light can be reflected or refracted depending on the object it strikes.
• Some objects are Transparent and allow light to pass through them.
• Translucent objects allow light to pass through but will scatter light.
• Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through.
Translucent Concrete Transparent Toaster

Shadows
• Light Travels in a straight line• If something gets in its path the light is blocked• When this happens a shadow is formed
![Page 13: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Sundial
• Uses the movement of the sun in the sky and the formation of shadows to tell time
• Depending on where the sun is, shadows are cast on the appropriate hour line, thus displaying the "time."
![Page 14: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Reflection
![Page 15: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Reflection
• When light strikes an object some of it is absorbed and some bounces off.
• This is called Reflection
• Reflection creates the images you see in mirrors
![Page 16: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Law of reflection
• Reflected light allows us to see an object
• Law of reflection:Angle of incidence= Angle of reflection
• This is measured from the normal (90o)
![Page 17: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Refraction
Which way does it bend?
![Page 18: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Transparent and Translucent substances allow light to pass through them.
• Examples:– Water, air, glass, Perspex, Diamond
• However when Light passes through different substances it alters its speed.
![Page 19: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The changing speed of light
• Light travels fastest in a vacuum– Slower in gases
• Slower in Liquids– Slowest in Solids
Solids Liquids Gases Vacuum
SLOW FAST

Refractive Index
• The speed of light as it travels through a substance depends on its Optical Density or Refractive Index
![Page 21: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Activity: Cup & Coin
• Do this in pairs• Place a coin or small
metallic object in a plastic cup
• One of you will walk backwards from the cup till you can just see the coin
• Take one more step back
• Now get your partner to fill the cup ¾ of the way with water
![Page 23: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Refraction
• Used to describe the bending of light
• When light passes from one medium to another.
• We use this principle to build telescopes and magnifying glasses
![Page 24: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Total Internal Refraction
![Page 25: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Total Internal Reflection
• When a light travels from a optically dense substance to a less dense one sometime it can reflect instead of refract.
• This is known as Total Internal Reflection
![Page 26: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Real Internal Reflection
• If the Incidence Ray > The critical angle, Total Internal Reflection occurs.
![Page 27: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Using Refraction
![Page 28: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Refraction Illusions• Light from the end of the
ruler bends away from the normal
• What you see is not the actual location of the ruler but the image your brain constructs based on where the light is coming from.
![Page 29: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Mirages
A mirage in the Egyptian Desert. What do you think is happening here?
![Page 30: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Mirages explained• Cool and warm air
have different optical densities.
• Light therefore bends as it passes from one to the other
• If the variation in density is gradual total internal reflection can occur.
![Page 31: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Traverse Waves• Light Travels as a Transverse Wave
• We know this because of the way light behaves
![Page 35: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Activity: Creating Waves
• You can create a replica of a transverse wave using a piece of rope or chain.
![Page 36: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The Visible spectrum

Spectral Hues
• Another way to look at the spectrum is too look at the different wavelengths of Spectral Hues.
• Spectral Hues (Colours) differ in their wave properties.
• This is because they refract at different wavelengths
![Page 39: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
White Light
• Light coming from the Sun and most light globes is referred to as ‘white’ light
• But white light can be spilt into different colours
• This is called dispersion
• We will talk more about colour later
![Page 40: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Activity: The colour of Light
• Focus the light into a narrow beam• Place the Prism in the direct path of the
beam • Rotate the beam until you get a rainbow
pattern
![Page 41: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
This might look familiar
Rainbows
• A beam of white light (in this case the sun) has spilt into the colours of the visible spectrum.
• The effect is called dispersion
• Small droplets of water acting like tiny prisms.
![Page 42: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Activity: Remember that spectrum
• We need to remember the colours of the rainbow and also the visible spectrum.
• One way to remember it is ROY G BIV• Or Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo
and Violet. • Now we need to come up with a phrase for
ROY G BIV (as seen above)

White Light
• Red + Green + Blue = White
• Secondary Colours:– Red + Green = Yellow – Green + Blue =
Turquoise– Red + Blue = Magenta

Reflection of Colour
White light is made of all the other wavelengths of colour
When White light hits an object the colour you see is the colour that is reflected back
The object will absorb all other wavelengths of colour

How the TV works
• If you look closely at a TV you might notice lots of tiny spots of Red, Blue and Green
• These are made from special chemicals called phosphors
![Page 50: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Addition on TV
• Phosphors glow when they are hit by beams of electrons
• Your eyes add together the spots to form pictures
![Page 51: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Addition of Lights
• Colours can also be added together using coloured lights.
• White light is produced when all the primary colours are added together.
• If only two primary colours are added secondary colours of Cyan, magenta and yellow are produced
![Page 52: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Colour Subtraction

Filter Subtraction• A coloured filter such
as a piece of cellophane subtracts colour from the light passing through it.
• The filter absorbs all the other colour light.
![Page 54: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Seeing Colours
• When you look at something you see the light reflected back to you
• All other colours have been absorbed .
• Black objects absorb all light while White objects reflect is all !
![Page 55: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Mixing Pigments
• Pigments are small particles found in substances like paint or ink.
• Mixtures of pigments behave differently to light!

Chameleons
• Chameleons have the ability to change colour.
• They do this in response to temperate, stress or to blend in.
• They do this with special pigment cells, called chromatophores
![Page 57: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Printing• The secondary colours
of light (yellow, cyan and magenta) .
• The are used because each subtracts a primary colours.
• Black is used in contrast and shading
• This is known as CYMK (K standing for Black)
![Page 58: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Primary colours of pigments
• Cyan, magenta and yellow are sometimes referred to the primary colours of pigment.
• This is again useful in order to print a full range of colours
![Page 59: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Colour separation files
• Computer image programs can create separate files for each printing colour (CYMK)
• These are called Colour Separation files

Plane Mirrors
• Plane mirrors let you see an exact image of yourself
• This image is called a virtual image
• Light does not actually come from the image
• The law of reflection explains how you see virtual images
![Page 62: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Convex mirrors
• Bulge outwards at the centre • Used in shops (like above), but are also
in rear-vision mirrors in cars to you give a wider view of what is behind you
![Page 63: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Concave mirrors….
• Are sunken in the middle• close up, they produce magnified virtual
images• If an object is far way they produce an
inverted real image

Types of Lenses
• Two most common types of lenses are: – Convex lenses which are fatter in the
middle. – Concave lenses which are thinner in the
middle
![Page 66: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

Two types of images
Real Images
• Formed when light rays cross.
• Can be captured on film• There is Light energy in a
real image
Virtual Images• Formed when light rays • Can’t be captured on film• There is no Light energy
in the image

Activity: Images and lenses
• We can draw diagrams to explain how images have formed
• These are called ray tracing diagrams. • Now we will draw some diagrams of
images we create.

Convex Lense
• A convex lens will produce: – A real upside-down image whenever
the object is closer to the lens then the focus.
– No image when the object is placed exactly on the focus
– A virtual image whenever the object is further away from the lens then its focus
![Page 75: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Images and concave lenses
• A concave lens will always produce a virtual image
![Page 76: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Terms for describing images• Real : light passes through image• Virtual : Light does not pass through the
image. • Upright: Same way as original object• Inverted: opposite way to original object • Enlarged: bigger than original object• Diminished: smaller than orginal object
![Page 77: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Calculating Magnification
• An image can be larger or smaller then the object it originated from.
• Its magnification can be calculated by dividing the size of the image by the size of the original object.
• Original Object = 2 cm• Image size = 10cm • 10/2 = 5 • Then the images magnification is 5• If the object was 8 cm tall and the image 4 cm
then the magnification would be 0.5.

Rods and Cones
• The retina contains two types of photoreceptors, rods and cones • The rods are more numerousand are more sensitive than the
cones • However cones allow you to see color• There are three types of cones, Red sensitive, Blue sensitive and
Green
![Page 87: The Light Fantastic. What is the speed of light? a) 1, 000, 000 Kilometres per second b) 300, 000 Kilometres per second c) 299,792.458 Kilometres per](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649ed85503460f94be6747/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Colour Blindness• The term “Colour blind” misconception is that people who are colour blind
only see in black in white. • This is in fact extremely rare and is called Monochromasy • The other Misconception is that they can’t tell the difference between Red
& Greens.• Most however suffer from varying degrees in deficiency from the extreme
of Monochromasy to Normal Vision • Statistically at least one of the guys in classroom may suffer from some
level of colour deficiency. • This is because colour blindness is more common in men (7 – 10%) than
women (.4%).
