The ray model of light
Why do some things appear brighter than others?
Transparent vs. translucent vs. opaque
Shadows
Regular or diffuse reflection of light
Bill Nye Video: Light Optics (worksheet)
Learning Checkpoint
p. 406 #1, 2, 3, 4
I will be able to use proper
scientific language to
describe the ray model of
light
I will be able to describe
how light interacts with
various objects



define the terms: colour, additive colour theory,
subtractive colour theory, opaque, transparent,
translucent, colour absorption, colour reflection
describe how different colours of light interact using the
additive colour theory
describe how different colours of paint interact using the
subtractive colour theory
describe how colours are absorbed or reflected to allow
us to perceive them
define the terms: ray, transparent, translucent, opaque,
shadow, umbra, penumbra, regular reflection, diffuse
reflection
compare how light interacts with transparent, translucent
and opaque objects
compare umbra and penumbra shadows
compare regular and diffuse reflection of light
I will be able to use proper
scientific language to
describe careers related to
optics
I will able to describe the
contributions of Willard S.
Boyle to optics
I will be able to explain
the career of optician



define the terms: charge-coupled device, optician
describe the contributions of Willard S. Boyle to optics
explain the career of optician
I will be able to use proper
scientific language to
describe laws of reflection
I will be able to describe
reflection in plane and
curved mirrors
I will be able to complete
ray diagrams to predict
properties of images in a
plane mirror

define the terms: image, optical device, normal, incident
ray, angle of incidence, angle of reflection, law of
reflection, plane mirror, virtual image, real image, focal
point, vertex, focal length, concave mirror, converging
mirror, convex mirror, diverging mirror
describe images produced by plane and curved mirrors
using SALT (size, attitude, location, type)
draw ray diagrams to find images produced in plane and
curved mirrors
draw ray diagrams using a sharp pencil, ruler and
protractor
describe uses of different types of mirrors
