At the end of this lesson, the given enabling or enrichment
competency should be met by the students.
Describe how the propagation of light, reflection, and
refraction are explained by the wave model and the particle model of light (S11/12PS-IVf-59). Learning Objectives
At the end of this lesson, the learner should be able to
do the following:
● Describe what happens when the light is reflected,
refracted, transmitted, and absorbed. ● Describe how the propagation of light, reflection, and refraction are explained by the wave and particle models of light. Light is one of the best example forms of wave. Because of light, we could clearly see images and colors of objects. Light also allows us to appreciate the beauty of our surroundings. For example, it helps us distinguish the sea, the mountains, and the sky from one another. Most of what see and observe everyday are products of the different properties of light.
What are these properties and how can they be explained
using the wave and particle theories of light? Try it! Warm-Up
Let EM See! 1. Point the laser light at an angle projected on the mirror. Observe what happens. 2. Allow the light from the laser to pass through the thin glass, then to the thick glass after. Observe what happens. 3. Using the sunlight (or white light), position the prism such that it disperses a band of colors. Observe what happens. Learn about It
Reflection It is the bouncing of light when it reaches a reflecting surface or a boundary between two media. Learn about It
Reflection The terms commonly used in reflection are the following: • Incident ray refers to the ray of light that hits the reflecting surface/boundary. • Refracted ray refers to the ray of light that bounces back. • Normal line is a line perpendicular to the reflecting surface. • Angle of incidence and angle of reflection are the angles formed by the incident ray and the reflected ray, respectively, with the normal line. Learn about It
Laws of Reflection • The angle of incidence, the angle of reflection, and the normal line lie on the same plane. • The angle of incidence is Law of reflection equal to the angle of reflection. Learn about It
Two Types of Reflection
• Specular/regular reflection occurs when light strikes a smooth surface. • Light rays are reflected in one direction. • Image formed in a mirror is Specular reflection a product of specular reflection. Learn about It
Two Types of Reflection
• Diffuse/irregular reflection occurs when light strikes a rough surface. • Light rays are reflected in random directions. • We can see objects around Diffuse reflection us because of diffuse reflection. Learn about It
Light as a Wave in Reflection
• Reflection of light can be explained by the wave theory of light. • When the wave of light strikes the smooth surface of the mirror, it will reflect with the same angle as the wave that arrived at the mirror. Learn about It
Particle Nature of Light
• In most instances, light is usually described as a wave since it is part of the electromagnetic wave. • But when light is shone on a metal surface, there is an emission of free electrons. This phenomenon is called the photoelectric effect. Learn about It
Particle Nature of Light
• Scientists concluded that light is made up of discrete packets of energy called photons. • This could be related to the reflection and refraction of light. Learn about It
Light as a Particle in Reflection
• When a stream of particles strikes into a mirror, particles bounce off and are reflected by the mirror. • They bounce off from different points and in reverse order, producing a reverse image. Learn about It
Refraction • It is the bending of light due to the change in its speed when it obliquely passes two different media.
Refraction of light Learn about It
Index of Refraction • The refractive index of a material (n) is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum (c), and the speed of light in that material (v). • The index of material (n) is always greater than 1. Refraction of light Learn about It
Refraction • Light slows down and refracts closer to the normal line when it travels from a medium with a low refractive index to a medium with a higher refractive index. • Light speeds up and refracts away from the normal line when light travels from a medium with a high refractive index to a medium with a lower refractive index. Learn about It
Light as Wave and Particle in Refraction
• In the wave model of light, the wave changes its direction when entering the first medium going to the second medium because the wave is traveling at a different speed. • In the particle model, the changing of direction of the light particle is said to be due to the perpendicular force applied to the particle from the medium. Learn about It
Transmission • It refers to the passing of light through a material without being absorbed. • An example is the passing of light through glass. Transmission of light through glass Learn about It
Transmission • Transparent and translucent materials transmit light, but opaque materials do not. • If not transmitted, light may have been reflected or absorbed. Learn about It
Absorption • It occurs when light strikes a material, and the energy that it carries is absorbed by the atoms of the material. • Light energy is converted into thermal energy. • White light is composed of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Learn about It
Absorption • When an object reflects all the components of light, it appears white. • When an object absorbs all the components of light, it appears black. Learn about It
Absorption ● An object appearing with a particular color means that it reflects only one color while absorbing the rest of the spectrum.
The leaf absorbs all the frequencies of light
except for green. Learn about It
Dispersion
• It is the separation of white light into colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet) due to refraction. Dispersion of white light into several colors Key Points
● Reflection is the bouncing of light when it reaches a
reflecting surface or the boundary between two media. ● Refraction is the bending of light due to the change in speed when it obliquely passes two different media. ● Transmission is passing light through a material without being absorbed, such as light passing through the glass as transmitted light. Key Points
● Absorption of light occurs when light strikes a material,
and the energy it carries is absorbed by the material's atoms and converted into thermal energy. ● Dispersion is the separation of white light into colors due to refraction. Check Your Understanding

Identify if the statement is true or false. 1. The law of reflection could be explained in the wave model theory of light. 2. If light is a particle, it cannot be reflected and refracted. 3. Wave model theory could only explain the refraction of light. 4. The reflected particles of light can produce a reverse image. 5. Light can only be transmitted completely through a translucent object. Bibliography Ariew, Roger et al. 2015. Historical Dictionary of Descartes and Cartesian Philosophy.
