The topic started with the definition of light and its discovery.

We were first asked on

our previous ideas and knowledge about our observation of light. Combining our
understanding and perspectives, we are able to define light as a portion of the
electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye. We usually identify light as
an aid for our sight. Yes, but it isnt just light that enables us to see. There should be
the presence of a source of light, an object and an observer. The light strikes the object
and then it will now be reflected to the observer, thats why he can see the object.
source of light can either be a luminous or a non luminous object. s we all know,
luminous objects are objects which can produce their own light just like the sun and
fireflies, while non luminous objects like an umbrella are objects which only reflects
lights. The light of luminous objects directly enters our eyes, enabling us to see them
while the ability of non luminous object to reflect light is what enables us too see
them. We also differentiated opa!ue objects from transparent objects ans translucent
objects. "pa!ue surfaces are those which is neither transparent or translucent.
Transparent and translucent objects as we all know are objects that both allows light
to pass through. #ut unlike transparent objects, translucent objects only partially
allows light to pass through and it doesnt allow us to see through just like linen
curtains. "pa!ue objects, on the other hand, are neither translucent or transparent.
These are objects which do not completely allows like to pass through.
$ight has a really important part in our society. Can we imagine a life without light%
&cientists have really been interested into the presence of light. n evidence of this
are the numerous and different theories of light. $ight is the eternal cosmic speed
limit. 'instein proved us that nothing is faster, with its speed to be appro(imately
).*(+*,- m.s. "ne evidence of this is the occurrence of lightning before a thunder.
We all know that there are different properties of light, one of which is it travels in a
straightpath. /ust think about how we are able to see the object in the screen of our
cameras. 0n our class 1am introduced to us the pinhole camera.
We have an enjoyable and simple activity too about the discovery of the number of
images produced when two plane mirrors are at an angle. 0t is really fun and lesson
filled activity which only uses basic materials, an object such as a coin, two plane
mirrors and a protractor for accuracy of measuring the angle. Through multiple trials,
we are able to derive an e!uation for the number of images produced when the plane
mirrors are at an angle. The number of images is e!ual to the difference of the
!uotient of )2* degrees and theta, and one. 3or instance the measure of the angle is 45
degrees, then without the activity well be able to conclude that the plane mirrors will
produce 6 images. #ut the highlight of the activity was when we observed the number
of images produced when the plane mirrors are parallel and the object is placed
between. We observed that the mirror produced an infinite number of images. This is
because the image produced is continuosly reflected by the other mirror.
