Natural Science. 2nd of ESO. Unit 12: Light & Sound

This document discusses light and sound as part of a natural science unit. It covers the definition of a wave, the anatomy of a wave, how light interacts with objects like mirrors and lenses, and introduces Isaac Newton's discovery that white light can be separated into the colors of the visible spectrum using a prism. The document provides information on the reflection of light at the boundary between mediums of different densities, the bending of light instead of bouncing, and how converging and diverging lenses can magnify or disperse light to create larger or smaller virtual images respectively.

NATURAL SCIENCE

ND
2 OF ESO

UNIT 12

LIGHT &
SOUND

What is a wave?

Anatomy of a wave

Light on objects

Mirrors

Light is reflected when it passes


from one medium to another
medium which has different
density.
In this situation, instead of
bouncing back, light bends at the
boundary between the two layers.

Lenses

Type of lenses
Magnifying glasses are
converging lenses. They
concentrate light and create
a virtually larger image.

Lenses for shortsighted


people are diverging lenses.
They disperse light and
create a virtually smaller
image.

Isaac Newton
comprob que al
hacer pasar luz blanca
por un prisma de
cristal, sta se
descompona en
diferentes colores.
