    Science Notes

    Chap 1:
    Uses of reflection:

    Mirrors are usually made out of ordinary glass or coated plastic

    The back of mirrors are covered in shiny metal foil that reflects light very well

    Mirrors are good reflectors

    Most shiny, smooth surfaces are good reflectors

    Dark, dull surfaces are poor reflectors as the beam of light is not able to bounce of the
    objects, instead is reflected by it

    Mirrors are useful as they help see things that we normally cannot

    Rear view mirrors help us see what is behind us

    More uses of mirrors:


    Dentists - To see the back of our mouths
    Doctors - To see into difficult places
    Drivers - To see what is behind them

    Mirrors help us see behind us, around us and over us and objects as well

    Chap 2:
    Ray Diagrams:

    A narrow stream of light is called a ray

    A group of rays is called a beam

    When a torch or any other source of light is pointed at a dark surface, the light does NOT
    reflect but is visible on the object or surface

    The beam of light leaves the torch and travels through the air, in the direction that it is
    pointed in, until it hits the surface

    Ray boxes are used to investigate light and they produce a good ray of light to use
    Ray boxes are used to investigate light and they produce a good ray of light to use

    We can follow the journey light takes by using ray diagrams

    Chap 3:
    Light changing direction:

    Flat mirrors reflect an identical image of an object.

    This is called a true likeness

    This is because the smooth, shiny surface does not scatter light
    This is how we see ourselves in the mirror:

    The light source shines light on us which travels to the mirror and bounces back to our
    eyes

    The light that reaches the mirror is called an incident ray

    The angle at which the incident ray meets the normal line is called the angle of incidence

    The light that leaves the mirror is called the reflected ray

    The angle at which the reflected ray is reflected from the normal line is called the angle of
    reflection

    Both angles are always the same

    Angle of incidence = angle of reflection
