Activity 1: Dual Property of Light (A Wave and a Particle)

Directions: Analyze the pictures about an experiment showing a beam of monochromatic (single color) light
being focused on a screen with two slits. Two things can happen to the light beam as shown in the pictures,
Fig. A and Fig. B.

Fig. A Fig. B

Guide Questions:

1. Describe what happens to the beam of light as it passes through the slits in both figures. (5
pts.)
The waves passes through both slits, it can be essentially splits into two new waves each
spreading out from one of the splits. Where the waves reinforce each other they give
brightest of light into different places.
2. Describe the kind of images formed by light after passing through the two slits. (5 pts.)
The kind of image formed when monochromatic light passing through two narrow slits
illuminates a distant screen, a characteristic of bright and dark fringers is observed. This
interference pattern is caused by the superposition of overlapping lights waves originating
from the two slits.
3. How does the beam of light behave in both cases? (5 pts.)
In double slita6 experiment, photon behaves like a wave but in photoelectric effect, it
behaves like a particle. It can be treated as both.

4. What can be concluded about the nature of light as described in the two pictures? (5 pts.)

Activity 2: Reflection and Refraction of Light

Directions: Refer to the figures to explain how reflection and refraction are explained by the wave and
particle models of light. Fill up with the appropriate word/s to give meaning to the paragraphs that follow.
Choose from among the words inside the box to complete each sentence.

Refraction force spread changes

Bend bounce off slower wavefront
Interface reversed particles smooth

Reflection and refraction are phenomena that are well-explained by the behaviors of light. When a
source emits light, its dual property can be observed in different circumstances.

Light, as waves, 1) spread in all directions when emitted. Upon impacting a smooth, specular
surface, such as a mirror, these waves 2)bounce off or reflect according to the arrival angles. The waves
turn back to front as they reflect producing a 3) reverses image.

On the otherhand, light can also arrive at the mirror surface as a stream of 4) particle Since these
are very tiny, a huge number are involved in a propagating light beam. Upon arriving a 5) smooth surface,
the particles bounce off in different points so their order in the beam is reversed resulting to a reversed
image
A beam of light undergoes 6) refraction when it travels between two media with different
refractive indices.
Light, as waves, 7) changes direction upon passing from first medium to second medium. A small
portion of each angled 8) wavefront should impact the second medium before the rest of the front reaches
the
9) interface This part will travel along the second medium while the rest of the waves is still travelling in
the first medium. Movement will be 10) slower through the second medium due to higher refractive index.
Since the wavefronts are travelling at different speeds, light will 11) bend into the second medium, thus,
changing the angle of propagation.
 Refracting particles of light should also change direction upon passing between two media. It is
suggested in this theory that a special 12) force directed perpendicular to the interface acts to change the
speed of the particles as they enter the second medium, resulting to bending of light particles.

Activity 3: Propagation of Light

Directions: Describe what happens to the beam of light in each of the instances. Match each illustration in
Column A with the corresponding description on Column B. Write the letters on your answer sheet

Column A Column B
1. F A. When light is incident on surfaces, it can
be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted.

B. Light rays that fall on opaque objects

are absorbed by the substances and
appear black.

2.
3. C C. Sunlight bumps into a mixture of
particles in the atmosphere. Scattering of
the component wavelengths depends on
the size of the particles. This gives rise to
the colors that we see in the sky.

4. A D. Light waves are incident on a leaf. All

the colors of white light (ROY-G-BIV
except green) are absorbed by the
surface. As such, green is reflected to our
eyes. This is the reason why this leaf
appears green.

5. B E. The colors of light incident on a

transparent material will pass through the
object completely.
6. D F. Light consists of two waves oscillating
perpendicular to one another. One of the
waves is magnetic field while the other one
Is electric field. It propagates through
space at a speed of 299,792,458 metres
per second (3.0 x 108 ms ).

7. H G. When the colors of light incident on a

surface are reflected the object appears
white.

8. G H. Light rays that fall on smooth surfaces

bounce off or reflect with equal angles of
incidence and reflection.

9. J I. White light, the visible part of the

electromagnetic spectrum consists of
colors, namely red, orange, yellow, green,
blue, indigo, and violet. This has an
acronym ROY-G-BIV. When it passes
through a prism, they are dispersed or split
into its component colors with different
 wavelengths.

10. C J. The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is

composed of light waves with different
wavelengths and frequencies. The wave
components of the EM carry varying
amounts of energy.

B 4. How does refraction happen when light rays travel in a straight line from air until it encounters another
medium like water?
a. The speed of light will be slower as it enters water, making the angle of refraction (θr) smaller
than the angle of incidence (θi).

faster as it enters water.
