“Light Riddles”

A. I warm the day. I light your way. Though my


fire burns brightly. No one has to light me. Who
am I?

B. We fly around above the ground. You’ll see


our lights on summer nights. What are we?

REFLECTION
OF LIGHT

BOUNCE! Bounce!
Reflection is when light bounces
off an object. This phenomenon
is known as the reflection of
light.
LAW OF REFLECTION

“when a ray of light


reflects off a surface,
the angle of
incidence is equal to
the angle of
reflection.”

REFRACTION OF LIGHT
When light travels from
REFRACTION air into water, it slows
down, causing it to
change direction slightly.
This change of direction
is called refraction. When
light enters a more dense
substance (higher
refractive index), it
‘bends’ more towards the
normal line.

A mirror
MIRROR
demonstrates the
law of reflection as
it forms the image
of the object placed
before it.
A mirror can be
planar or spherical.
A spherical mirror
can be either
convex or concave.
PLANE MIRROR
A plane mirror makes an
image of objects in front of
the mirror; these images
appear to be behind the
plane in which than mirror
lies. A straight line drawn
from part of an object to the
corresponding part of its
image makes a right angle
with, and is bisected by, the
surface of the plane mirror.

Magnification is the process of making
something looks bigger than it is to see
object in detail. This is the measure of
the size of an image compared to the size
of the object.

Principal axis is the line joining the


centers of curvatures of its surface. The
center of curvature of a curve is found at a
point that is at a distance from the curve
equal to the radius of curvature lying on the
normal vector. It is the point at infinity if
the curvature is zero.
CONCAVE
MIRROR
A concave mirror is a type of spherical
mirror in which, the reflecting surface is
the inner curved surface of the sphere, i.e.
in this type of mirrors the reflecting
surface seems to be away from the
incident light source. Because of their
shape, the incident light is reflected
inwards (converged), thus they are also
called converging mirrors and they are
used for focusing light.
CONCAVE
MIRROR
There is a formation of different
images in a concave mirror. It
mainly depends on the distance
between the object and the mirror.
Concave mirrors form both real and
virtual images. When the concave
mirror is placed very close to the
object, a virtual and magnified
image is obtained.
CONCAVE
MIRROR
If we increase the distance
between the object and the
mirror, the size of the image
reduces and real images are
formed. These real images can
be projected on a screen. The
focal point and the center of
curvature of the concave mirror
lie in front of the mirror.
CONVEX
MIRROR
If the cut part of the hollow
sphere is painted from inside,
then its outer
surface becomes the
reflecting surface. This kind
of mirror is known as a
convex mirror.
