Objectives:

At the end of the lesson, the

you should be able to identify
the sources of light and explain
how light propagated.
 What are the
different forms of
EM waves?

Give some advantages

and disadvantages of
EM waves

 LIGHT

Target: Identify the sources of light and explain how light propagated.
Target: Identify the sources of light and explain how light propagated.
 How can you imagine
living things without the
presence of light?

Target: Identify the sources of light and explain how light propagated.
 Producing Visible Light

Target: Identify the sources of light and explain how light propagated.
• emitted by hot objects like the sun
and star, the flame from a burner
and the filament of an electric lamp
• can give off all the
colors depending
on the temperature
• lower temperature
produces longer
wavelengths
(reddish), higher
temperature
produces shorter
wavelengths
(bluish)
Target: Identify the sources of light and explain how light propagated.
 • cooler and uses less
electricity than
incandescent light
• the inside is coated with phosphor
which absorbs UV energy and
glows to produce visible light
• fluorescent materials are called
phosphors

Target: Identify the sources of light and explain how light propagated.
 • a semiconductor light source which
exhibits the electroluminescence
effect

Target: Identify the sources of light and explain how light propagated.
• fluorescent materials
which are periodically
recharged by exposure
to light
• examples are glow-in-
the dark toys, paint, and
clock dials
• living organisms
producing their own
light due to the chemical
reaction among protein
and oxygen in the
organism
 Effect of Materials on Light
• light may be transmitted, reflected, absorbed or
scattered
 Rectilinear Propagation of Light

• when light strikes an opaque material, some of the light rays are
absorbed while others pass on in a straight-line path
• the area where light rays cannot
reach is called a shadow
• shadows may be complete or partial
depending on the light source
• darker region of a shadow
( full shadow ) : umbra
• lighter region of a shadow
( partial shadow ) : penumbra
PROPERTIES OF LIGHT
• process by which light is separated into its
color due to differences in degrees of refraction
• a narrow beam of light splits into different
range of colors called the spectrum
• the rainbow is formed by the dispersion of
sunlight in drops of water
• the inside surface of water, glass or other transparent
materials can act like a perfect mirror
• when light travels from a denser to a less dense
medium and strikes the surface at an angle greater than
the critical angle (least angle of incidence), the light
beam is not able to get out
• the interference
of light waves
create fringes

• the spreading of
light when passing
through a small
slit or around
sharp edges or
corners
• the atmosphere is densest
(thickest) near the earth and
gradually thins out as ones
go higher
• light is reflected and
refracted as it moves
through the atmosphere due
to the bits of solid particles
and gases
( Rayleigh scattering )
• red and orange (unscattered
light)– longer wavelengths

Blue and violet (scattered light)–

shorter wavelength
Give 3 applications for each of
the following media:

a. Concave Mirror
B. Concave Lens
C. Convex Mirror
D. Convex Lens
