Properties of Light

The document discusses the properties and behaviors of light, including reflection, refraction, and the different materials that affect light transmission (transparent, translucent, and opaque). It highlights the importance of light from the sun and its role in enabling vision, as well as various applications of light such as lasers and optical fibers. Additionally, it explains how light travels in straight lines and varies in speed depending on the medium.

s of Light
Good Day, Grade 4!
What would life on
Earth be without
light?What will happens to the
Earth and to all living
creatures?

The sun is the Primary


source of light on earth.
Because of light it
enables us to see things
around.
The Visible Light is the
white light that makes
up the colors of the
rainbow.

The light energy from


the sun is called
Electromagnetic
Radiation
Mercury Venus Saturn Mars
Mars is
Mercury is the Venus has a Saturn is the actually a cold
smallest planet beautiful name ringed one place
Behavior of Light
Reflect – when the light rays hit
an object, it bounce off at
different direction and angles.
the reflected light travels into
your eyes and as result, you see
the object
Reflect
When the light hits a shiny
object like a mirror or water, it is
reflected at an equal angle.
For example:
If you look at a mirror or basins
of water, you see yourself
because the light rays are
reflected back towards you.
Reflect
When light hits rough or soft
surface like wood or fabric, some
light rays are absorbed and the
rest are reflected at different
directions.
Behavior of Light
Refract – a light rays that bend
as they move from one material
to another. It change in direction
and speed as they cross the
boundary of two materials.
Refract
A pencil dipped in a glass of
water shows refraction. Looking
at the side of the glass, the
pencil appears to be bent.
Because of refraction, swimming
pools and rivers appear more
shallow that they actually are.
Behavior of Light
Lenses – a pieces of glass that
bend light. The lenses of our
eyes bend the light rays and
focus the image for you to see
object clearly.
Materials and the Amount of Light
they Transmit
Transparent – when an object allows the
1 light to pass through easily, the object is
said to be transparent.

Translucent – materials allow some light


to pass through. Light diffuses or
2 bounces off in different directions and is
scattered as it passes through. You
cannot see clearly through them

Opaque – a materials that can convert


the absorbed light into heat energy. As
3 the materials also completely block the
path of light, shadow are formed.

Let us now
discover the Path
of Light
The Path of Light
Light always travels in a STRAIGHT LINE
when going through a single medium, any
substance through which a light wave can
travel
The Path of Light

In some media, such as Air, light travels quickly.


In other media, such as Water, and Glass, light travels
more slowly.
Other uses of
lights

Laser – a narrow but


powerful beam of light.
• In Industry, It used to cut,
drill and bond materials.
• In Medicine, doctors use
laser to treat certain
problems with internal
organs the eye and the
skin.
Other uses of
lights

Optical Fibers – very thin


glass or plastic fibers that are
bundled together in a coated,
flexible tube. They are made
from transparent materials
that transmit visible,
ultraviolet and infrared lights.

X-rays – use to see the
bones and internal organs.
Gamma rays – use to
sterilize medical tools.
Radio waves – sending and
receiving by satellites are
important in
telecommunications.
Microwaves – useful in
heating and cooking food.
