light;
2. classify the sources of light according to their kind (natural or artificial);
and
3. differentiate intensity and brightness

5. Recall

Let’s have a little review first about what you

had discussed with Ma’am Aimee last week.
What are the three medium where sound can The three medium where sound can travel are
travel? solid, liquid and gas.

What are the six characteristics of sound waves? The six characteristics of sound waves are
frequency, wavelength, amplitude, speed or
velocity, period and phase.
Sound has three frequency ranges, what are
those? The three frequency ranges are infrasonic,
audible and ultrasonic.
What are the three kinds of sound that we heard
in our daily lives? The three kind of sound that we heard are
pleasant sound, loud and noise.
The properties that sound wave exhibit are? Reflection, Diffraction and Refraction.

B. Activity/Motivation

Who among you play charade? (Students who play charade will raise their
hands)

Let’s have 2 groups, each group will send one

representative to pick the word he will act and
the rest of his group mates will guess the word.
The fastest group who guess the 5 words will be
the winner. 1 minute is the maximum time for
each word. (The students will do the task and guess the
words: source, light, sun, bulb, flashlight, sun,
wave, particles)

C. Lesson Proper

Base on those words that you had guess, what

do you think is our topic? Our topic is about light.

That’s right. We will discuss about light. There

were two theories on the basic nature of light.
What are those theories? The two theories on the nature of light are the
Undulatory Theory and the Corpuscular
Theory.

Very good. Kindly read what is Undulatory

Theory or Wave Theory of Christian Huygen. Undulatory Theory explains that light has a
wave motion which start from a vibrating
body and is transmitted at high speed.

Thank you. Sir Isaac Newton contradicted the

Wave Theory as he described light as a stream
of particles or corpuscles. Kindly read what is
Corpuscular or Emission Theory of Sir Newton.
Corpuscular Theory explains that light
consists of tiny particles of matter emitted by
a source that travels only in a straight line
called rays.

Sir Isaac Newton believes that light behaves

like a particle while Christian Huygens believed
that light behaves like a wave. Which do you
think between Newton and Huygen is correct? Both of them are correct.

That’s right. Max Planck explained that light

can be a particle and can also be a wave or
simply light has a dual nature.

What are the common sources of light that we

use in everyday life? The common sources of light are sun, lamps,
bulbs, candles, flashlights, etc.

Very good. Sources of light are classified as

natural and artificial. Among those sources that
you said, which of them are belongs to natural
source and which of them are belongs to
artificial source? Kindly write it on the board. Natural Source Artificial Source
Lamps
Bulbs
Sun
Flashlight
Candle

Very good. Sun is also considered as a luminous

body. Kindly read what luminous body/object Luminous objects are objects that emit or send
is. off their own light. They tend to radiate heat
as an effect of being luminous and can store
energy.

The sun, stars, light bulbs, lamps, lasers, and

campfires are examples of luminous object.

Non luminous object on the other hand, are

those that cannot emit their own light. In order
for us to see them a light from luminous object
must be reflected. What are the examples of it? The moon, cars, buildings, chairs, table, etc.

Is there any question about sources of light? None ma’am.

In our daily life how we are able to see thing? We are able to see things because of the light
produced by the sun.

Intensity / brightness of light that we receive

depend on some factor. Watch carefully this
experiment video about the intensity of light. (The students will watch the video)

Base on the video that you had watched, where

does the intensity of the light depend? The intensity of light depends on the source
and the distance from the source.

Anyone who wants to differentiate intensity of

light and brightness of light? Intensity is the absolute measure of a light
wave’s power density while brightness is the
relative intensity as perceived by average
human eye.

Very good. Are we clear with the difference of

the two? Yes ma’am.

Is there any question? None ma’am.

D. Generalization

Is light a particle or a wave? Light is both wave and particle.

Who is the proponent of Undulatory theory of

light? Christian Huygen

Who is the proponent of Corpuscular theory of

light? Sir Isaac Newton

How about dual nature of light? Max Planck

Again, what are the two classification of light The two classification of light source are
source? natural and artificial light source.

Where does intensity of light depends? The intensity of light depends on the source
and the distance from the source.
E. Application

What will happen to Earth without these sources

of light? Without the light that the sun produces the
Earth will be a total darkness and coldness.
Without it there will be no life on Earth,
because it is the one that sustain life on Earth.

Without the artificial sources of light at night,

it would be hard for us to see things. It will be
difficult for us to navigate at night.
F. Valuing

Light is like the people around us specially our

parents/ our family. They are remarkable yet we
sometimes take them for granted. There are
times that we prefer to be with our friends than
to be with them knowing that they are always
there. But when the dark times of our lives
come, they are first person who will help us. Or
worst when they are no longer around, only then
you will realize how important they are to you.
Just like light, you only see its worth when
darkness comes.
