Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What happens when light bounces off a surface?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. When a wave encounters a material it is either: reflected; absorbed or; transmitted
  2. Light (waves) travels in straight lines. We use rays to show this.
  3. When a wave is reflected from an object like a mirror, the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence.
  4. Use of ray model to explain imaging in mirrors
  5. When a wave is reflected from an object like a mirror, it is called specular reflection.
  6. In specular reflection rays are reflected at a consistent angle, allowing an image to be formed.
  7. Diffuse scattering occurs when rays are reflected from a surface in a variety of angles.
  8. Differential colour effects in absorption and diffuse reflection

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. What three things can happen to a wave when it encounters a material?
    When a wave encounters a material it is either: reflected, absorbed or transmitted.
  2. How do light waves travel?
    Light (waves) travels in straight lines. We use rays to show this.
  3. What is the law of reflection off a plane surface?
    When a wave is reflected from an object like a mirror, the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence.
  4. What is the symbol of a mirror for ray diagrams?
    The symbol for a mirror in ray diagrams is a straight light with perpendicular lines on the back side.
  5. What is it called when a wave hits a flat, shiny surface and bounces back?
    When a wave hits an object like a mirror, and bounces back it is called specular reflection.
  6. How does specular reflection allow an image to be formed?
    In specular reflection rays are reflected at a consistent angle, allowing an image to be formed.
  7. When does diffuse scattering occur?
    Diffuse scattering occurs when rays are reflected from a surface in a variety of angles.
  8. Why does a red object look red in white light?
    A red object only reflects red light back to the observer. It absorbs all other colours.
