| Question | Answer |
| What do we mean by Natural Luminous? Give an example. |
Gives off light Naturally
example - The Sun

|
| What is Artificial Luminous? Give an example. |
Gives off light
- from man-made objects-
example - candle

|
| What is Non-Luminous? Give an example. |
Reflects Light
example : The Moon

| Why does this t-shirt look red and this shorts look blue? | All the other colours are absorbed and the t-shirt reflects red and the shorts reflects blue. |
| Why do we see black? | It does not reflect any colour It absorbs all the light |
| What is white light made up of? | It is made up of all the colours of the rainbow. |
| What is Dispersion? | The separation of white light. When white light passes through a different medium (glass, water), refraction takes place as the colours do not have the same velocity so they separate. Thus the rainbow. |
| What is refraction? | The bending of light. The less molecules, the faster light travels so the bigger the angle. The more the molecules, the slower light travels, so the smaller the angle. |
| What material allows SOME light rays to pass? | -Translucent- Allows Privacy |
| What material allows ALL light rays to pass? | -Transparent- Does not allow privacy |
| Which material does NOT allow light rays to pass? | Opaque |
|
What cause shadows?
Image:
Shadow (binary/octet-stream)
|
The absence of light |
| What do shadows prove to us? | Shadows prove that light travels in straight lines. No shadow will be formed If they didn’t travel in straight lines. |
| What is a mirror? | A smooth surface that reflects light to form images. |
| What is a Plane Mirror? |
A flat smooth mirror in which an image appears upright

| What is a Concave Mirror? | Mirror surface is curved inward |
| What is a Convex Mirror? | Mirror surface curved outward |
| Concave Lens | Concave lenses bend the light rays so that they never meet. |
| Convex Lens | Convex lenses bend the light rays so that they meet at a point. |
| Label the Eye | |
| Cornea | Light is initially refracted in the eye |
| Iris | Adjusts pupil size |
| Pupil | lets in light into the eye |
| Lens | It is a convex lens. The lens refracts light onto the retina. |
| Retina | Contains light receptors which receive visual information |
| Optic Nerve | Sends info to the brain. The brain produces the image, the right way up. |
