1 Is a form of energy that has a particle and wave nature
Light Is a form of energy that has a particle and wave nature

2 Light travels in straight lines
Its travel is represented by a ray A ray is a straight line a with an arrow showing the direction of travel A ray A group of rays represent a beam of light A beam

3 There are three main types of beams of light:
Parallel beams Convergent beams Divergent beams Use your dictionary to write down the meanings of Parallel ______________________________ Convergent ___________________________ Divergent ____________________________

4 A torch light creates a divergent beam, attempt to draw a beam of light from the torch light to show a divergent beam using the diagram below. Example: Is it? or or Headlights on a car creates parallel beams, attempt to draw a beam of light to show a parallel beam using the diagram below A magnifying glass creates convergent beams, attempt to draw a beam of light to show a convergent beam using the diagram below

5 Luminous versus non-luminous
If you are given the definition that luminous objects produce it own light and non-luminous objects reflect light, make a list of at least five objects that are luminous and non-luminous objects Luminous objects Non luminous objects

6 And you are given the definition that:
Transparent objects allow all light to pas through it Translucent objects allow some light to pass through it Opaque objects do not allow any light to pass through it Complete the table below with at least five items you see daily Transparent objects Translucent Opaque Glass Frosted glass A wall
