Topics to Study from the Chapter on Light:
1. What Makes Things Visible
– Objects are seen when light from them enters our eyes, either emitted or reflected by the object.
2. Laws of Reflection
– The angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection; reflection involves incident and reflected rays.
3. Image Formation by a Plane Mirror
– Understanding features of the image formed by a plane mirror (orientation, size, distance, obtainability).
4. Regular and Diffused Reflection
– Regular reflection occurs on smooth surfaces, creating clear images, while diffused reflection happens on rough surfaces.
5. Reflected Light Can Be Reflected Again
– Exploring how reflected light can be further reflected, as seen in situations like looking into mirrors in hair salons.
How is seeing made possible according to the chapter?
Seeing is made possible when light from an object enters our eyes, either emitted by the object or reflected by it.
What happens to light when it strikes a polished or shiny surface like a mirror?
A polished or shiny surface like a mirror changes the direction of light that falls on it.
What is the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection according to the laws of reflection?
The angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection, as one of the laws of reflection.
What does diffused or irregular reflection refer to?
Diffused or irregular reflection occurs when parallel rays incident on an irregular surface are reflected in different directions, unlike regular reflection where parallel rays are reflected in parallel directions.
Explain the concept of lateral inversion in an image formed by a mirror.
In an image formed by a mirror, the left of the object appears on the right and the right appears on the left, which is known as lateral inversion.
