Exploring the Wonders of Light

What is light made of?

• Light is made of energy.

• Light is made of particles and waves.

• Light is made of photons.

• Light is made of waves.

Name one property of light.

• Light is a solid object.

• Light can only travel in circles.

• Light travels in straight lines.

• Light is invisible to the human eye.

What happens when light hits a mirror?

• Light bends around the mirror.

• Light reflects off a mirror.

• Light passes through the mirror.

• Light is absorbed by the mirror.

Define refraction in your own words.

• Refraction is the scattering of light in all directions.

• Refraction is the absorption of light in a medium.

• Refraction is the reflection of light off a surface.

• Refraction is the bending of light as it travels between different media.

What is the main source of natural light?

• The Sun

• Stars in the sky

• Artificial lights

• The Moon

How do shadows form?

• Shadows form when an object blocks light from a light source.

• Shadows are created by reflecting light off surfaces.

• Shadows disappear in bright sunlight.

• Shadows are formed by the color of the object.

What is the difference between a transparent and an opaque object?

• Transparent objects block light; opaque objects allow light to pass through.

• Both transparent and opaque objects allow light to pass through.

• Opaque objects can be seen through; transparent objects cannot.

• Transparent objects allow light to pass through; opaque objects do not.

What do we call the bending of light as it passes through water?

• Dispersion

• Diffraction

• Reflection

• Refraction

How does light travel?

• Light moves faster in water than in a vacuum.

• Light travels only in straight lines.

• Light travels in waves and particles (photons) at a speed of about 299,792 km/s in a vacuum.

• Light is a solid substance that can be touched.

What is the role of the lens in a camera?

• The lens focuses light to create a clear image.

• The lens stores images for later retrieval.

• The lens captures sound to enhance audio quality.

• The lens adjusts the camera's exposure settings.
