Light Mr. Skirbst Physical Science Topic 23
Light Ray Model - light travels in straight lines called “rays”
Light Reflection - light “bouncing” off a surface
2 Kinds of Reflection Regular - reflection off a smooth surface (i.e. mirror)
2 Kinds of Reflection Diffuse - reflection off an irregular surface (i.e. foil)
Reflection Mirror - smooth surface that reflects light
3 Types of Mirrors 1. Plane - smooth, flat surface
3 Types of Mirrors 2. Concave - smooth, curved inward
3 Types of Mirrors 3. Convex - smooth, curved outward
Refraction Refraction - bending of light due to change in speed - when passing between different types of material
Refraction Prism - a device used to refract light into the colors of the rainbow (ROYGBV)
Lenses Lens - transparent material that refracts light
2 Types of Lenses 1. Convex - thicker in the middle - refracts to a point
2 Types of Lenses 2. Concave - thinner in the middle - refracts outward
Telescopes Telescope - an instrument used to view objects far away
2 Types of Telescopes Refracting - uses lenses to collect light
2 Types of Telescopes Reflecting - uses mirrors to collect light
