Answer the question in your groups

EVERYONE must contribute!

Representative to come to the front and


share ideas.
Sources of Light –
Luminosity!
Where is the light coming from in this room?
 Which picture is the odd one out and why?
Luminous and non-
An object that gives luminous
out light is described as luminous.
How does light from a luminous object such as a light bulb
reach the eye?
Light travels in a
straight line directly
into the eye.
An object that does not give out light is non-luminous.
How does your eye see a non-luminous object such as
a comb?
Light hits the comb
and some of it is
reflected into the eye.
Just How Fast is Light?
 300 000 000 m/s
 Or 186 000 miles per
second
 A boat is 25km from
harbour
 It sees the flash of
the lighthouse
 A minute later it
hears the fog horn
from the lighthouse
 Why?
Collective Memory – Table
Partners
 Number yourselves 1-3
 Number 1 – Drawer
 Number 2 – Information collector
 Number 3 – Observer
 30 seconds to gather information
 1 minute to tell group
 Rotate roles
 Repeat process
Transparent –
these are materials
which let all of the
light straight
through.
Translucent –
these materials let
light through but it
is randomly
scattered.
Opaque – these
materials let no
light through.
Learning Check…
 1’s go find transparent

 Are they right?

 2’s go find translucent

 Are they right?

 3’s go find opaque

 Are they right?
