What This Module is About
We live in a colorful world. The green leaves of trees, the blue lakes and oceans, the
white clouds, the red-orange horizon, the colorful rainbow, the multicolored landscape to
name a few. We see these wonderful creations because of the presence. of light. Would it
be wonderful to know the science behind all these?
In this module, you will be introduced to the dual nature of light, its properties and
behavior, and the various optical phenomena created by light. It includes light being a
particle and a wave or both. Some properties of light can be explain by considering light as a
wave (interference of light, diffraction and scattering) while other properties can be explain
by considering light as a particle (photoelectric effect) and still others can be explain
considering light as both wave and particle (reflection, refraction and dispersion). It also
includes the wave-like characteristics of electron and how Hertz produced radio pulses
applying the evidence- based knowledge of his predecessors on light and electron.

photographic dark rooms, why we get easily sunburned in ultraviolet light but not in
visible light, and how we see colors (S11/12PS-IVf-61);
3. Cite experiment evidence showing that electrons can behave like waves (S11/12PS-
IVf-6);
4. Differentiate dispersion, scattering, interference, and diffraction (S11/12PS-IVf-65)

Activity 3.2.1. Observing a Ball’s Path at Different Speeds (1 point each)
Find a space in your yard where you can safely play a ball. Face a wall, boundary or
fence at about two meters away from it. Throw the ball slowly. How will you describe the
trajectory path of the ball? Record your observation in the table below. Throw the ball again
but his time do it very fast. Complete the table.
What Is It
At slow speeds, a curvature of a thrown ball was easily observed because of the
effect of gravity but at high speeds the ball is inclined to follow a straight line. According to Sir
Isaac Newton, light travels in straight lines, thus its particles must move at very high speeds.

What I Can Do
In this lesson, you will be able to explain how the photon concept and the fact that
the energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency can be used to explain why in
photographic dark rooms red light is used, why in ultraviolet light but not in visible light we
get easily sunburned, and how we see colors.
.
What’s New
When light is shown on an atom, its electrons absorb photon which causes them to
gain energy and jump to a higher level. Since an electron can only exist at certain energy
levels, it can only emit photons of certain frequencies. The emitted light can be perceived as
a series of colored lines called a line or atomic spectra. Each element produces a unique
set of spectral line.
The electromagnetic spectrum depict all of the types of light, including those that we
cannot see in our own eyes. In fact, most of the light in the universe is invisible to humans.
The light we can see, made up of the individual colors of the rainbow, represents only
a very small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is called visible light. Other types of
light include radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet rays, X-rays and gamma
rays — all of which are imperceptible to human eyes.
Figure 3. The Electromagnetic Spectrum EM
The relationship between energy and frequency is given by the equation E = hf, here
h is 6.63 x10-24 joules-second called as Planck's constant. A direct relationship exists;
electromagnetic radiation is more energetic with a higher frequency.
Why do we get easily sunburned in ultraviolet light but not in visible light? The sun is
a source of the full spectrum of the ultraviolet radiation which is responsible for causing us
sunburn.
This UV light has higher frequency than visible light, therefore it has higher energy.
Why is red light used in photographic darkrooms? Darkrooms used red lighting to
allow careful control light to pass through, so that photographic paper which is light sensitive
would not become overexposed that will result to ruining the pictures during the developing
process. Red light in the visible region of the spectrum has the lowest frequency and lowest
energy and therefore it does not affect the photo developing process.
How do we see colors? Visible light is a small part within the spectrum that human
eyes are sensitive to and can detect. It is of different frequencies and each frequency is a
particular color. Objects appear in different colors because they absorb some colors and
reflect or transmit the others. White objects appear white because they reflect all colors.
Black objects absorb all of them so no light is reflected.

In this lesson, you should be able to some cite experimental evidence showing that
electron can behave like a wave.
What’s In
In the preceding lesson, you learned that light can behave as particle and as a wave.
The idea of photoelectric effects, which show the particle property of light fascinated the
French physicist Louis de Broglie. If light being a wave can show a particle-like property, then
electron and other particles may also have a wave-like properties such as wavelength and
frequency.
What’s New
1. Match the year, the scientist and their contribution to the development of the wave-like
property of electron.
2. Write your answer in the column for Coded Answer.
A (Year) Coded Answer Scientists Contribution
1. 1900 1. ___, __ A. Albert Einstein G. proposed that electron could have
wave-like properies
2. 1905 2. ___, ___ B. Clinton H. Photoelectric effect
Davisson and Lester
Germer
3. 1922 3. ___, ____ C. Arthur Holy I discovery of Planck’s radiation law
Compton
4. 1924 4. ___, ____ D. Max Planck J. announced the complementary
relation between the wave and
particle aspect of electron
5. 1927 5. ____, ___ E. Louis de Broglie K. Compton effect
What Is It
In 1900, Max Planck was able to formulate and discover the so called Plank’s constant
which he included in his discovery of Plank’s radiation Law. In 1905 German physicist Albert
Einstein first showed that light, being considered as a form of EM wave, can be thought as a
particle and localized in packets of discrete energy. This was shown in his photoelectric
effect experiment. The observations of the Compton effect in 1922 by American
physicist Arthur Holly Compton could be explained only if light had a wave-particle duality.
Fascinated with the idea that light as a wave can have a particle like property, in 1924,
French physicist Louis de Broglie proposed that electrons and other discrete bits of matter,
which until then had been conceived only as material particles, must also
have wave properties such as wavelength and frequency. Later in 1927 the wave nature of
electrons was experimentally established by American physicists Clinton
Davisson and Lester Germer on their Davisson-Germer experiment. An understanding of
the complementary relation between the wave aspects and the particle aspects of the same
phenomenon was announced by Danish physicist Niels Bohr in 1928.

3. You may copy the puzzle in your journal notebook and answer it.
4. Goodluck and enjoy the puzzle.
What Is It
Electron being considered as a wave created questions that gain the interest of other fellow
scientist. Among the question that lingered on the minds of other scientists was that “if
electron traveled as a wave, then where could be the precise position of the electron within
the wave?”
The answer to this question was given by German physicist Werner Heisenberg in 1927, in
his famous Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. He articulated that both the momentum and
position of the electron can not be measured exactly at the same time.
Another scientist in the name of Erwin Shrodinger derived set of equations also called wave
functions for electrons as a result of de Broglie’s hypothesis and Heisenberg’s uncertainty
principle. He formulated the equations that would specify that the electrons confined in their
orbits would set up standing waves and the probability of finding the electrons in the orbitals
could be described as the electron density clouds. The greatest probability of finding an
electron in an orbital is in the densest area, likewise, the lowest probability of finding an
electron in in the orbital of least dense.
What are some experimental evidence showing that electron has a wavelike property. Write
your answer in your journal notebook.
What I Can Do
As you may recall, the wave-particle nature of light can explain why light is reflected
or it may bounce back as it hit an opaque surface and it shall be refracted or bend as it
passes through a transparent material. In this lesson you shall encounter more properties of
light that may uncover the formation of rainbows, the rainbow-colored soap bubbles that you
played with your younger siblings, the beautiful horizon that you experience in the late
afternoon and white fluffy clouds below the blue sky during the midday.
What’s New
Do you ever wonder how multicolored rainbows are form? Perform the next activity
diligently to know how.
Procedure: Hold a prism or a bottle half-filled with water against sunlight or any light
source like a flashlight. Observe.
Guide questions:
What Is It
Dispersion
What’s More
Now, get your pen and journal notebook and go outside for a while and look up the
sky above you. Note down the things and colors you have noticed. Repeat your observation
at anytime of the day and in the late afternoon. You may do this observation activity for a
series of 2-3 days when the weather Is fine. Keep your journal notebook handy. Good luck!
What Is It
Did you observe the beautiful, fluffy white clouds like cottons arrange under a faint
blue sky during the middle of the day when the sun is shining brightly and the beautiful red-
orange horizon in the late afternoon when the sun is almost setting down?
Scattering of light is responsible for this blue-colored sky and beautiful horizon.
Tiny dust particles, and atoms of oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere which are far
apart from each other acts as scatterers. They scatter sunlight in all directions . Of the
band of colors of light, violet has the shortest wavelength of 400 nanometer. It is scattered
the most, followed by indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red which is scattered the
least. But our eyes is not sensitive to indigo and violet, and blue is most predominant to our
sight , so we see the blue sky.
In the late afternoon where the sun is in the horizon, the loner wavelength red light
reaches our eyes more than the blue light which are scattered the most. Red being scattered
the least is transmitted and passed through more of the atmosphere than any other color.
Thus, it is the red color together with some orange that reaches our eyes in the late
afternoon and we see the beautiful red-orange sunset.
So, the next time you look up the sky and view the horizon, you know the science behind its
beauty.
What’s More
Guide Questions:
What can you observe in the soap bubbles. Write your observation on your journal
notebook.
What Is It
Interference of light
The beautiful spectrum of colors reflected on the soap bubbles are produced by the
interference of light. It occurs when 2 waves meet while travelling on the same medium. It
may be constructive interference producing bright fringes or destructive interference
producing dark bands. In the case of soap bubbles, the incident ray of white light
constructively interfere in the different regions of the bubbles producing the rainbow-colored
appearance. Interference of light clearly demonstrates the wave nature of light.
What’s More
1. Look at the light through the slit between your fingers. What do you observe? Do you
see vertical white and dark bands? What causes this bands?
2. Repeat step 1 but make the slit narrower. Compare your observations with the
previous one.
3. Write your observation in your Journal notebook.
What Is It
As you look the light through the slit between your fingers, you will observe the vertical white
and dark bands which is due to the bending of light as it passes through an opening or an
obstacle. This is described as diffraction of light.
The narrower the slit, the more pronounced the pattern become.
I. Complete the table below: Write your answer in your journal notebook.
1. 2. Rainbow
Scattering of light 3. 4.
Diffraction 5. 6.
7. 8. Rainbow-colored
appearance in soap
bubbles
What I Can Do
Take and collect pictures applying at least two of the four properties of light
mentioned in this lesson. Post it on your journal notebook and briefly describe the science
behind the pictures. Submit your journal notebook to your teacher for the rating.
In lesson 4, you have learned that rainbows are formed due to the dispersion of light
in water droplets that acts as a prism. You have also learned that the blue sky, the reddish
sunset and the white and dark clouds are products of the scattering of light in the
atmosphere; the rainbow-colored soap bubbles are due to the interference of light and the
bright fringes and dark bands in shadows are result of the diffraction of light.
In the previous lesson, you knew that light reflects or bounce back as it hits an
opaque object such as mirror and transmitted through transparent objects such as glass
and lenses. Light refracts or bend as it enters from one medium to another with different
optical density. You also knew that the colors we see on the object is the color of light that is
reflected by the object to our eyes. The green color of the leaves is the due to the green light
that is reflected by the leaves to our eyes, and all the other color of light is absorbed and
only the green is reflected.
These behaviors of light produce spectacular light phenomena that we often see in
our daily life and sometimes we may not notice it.
In this lesson, you are expected to explain various light phenomena such as your
reflection on the concave and convex side of a spoon, mirage, haloes, sundogs, primary and
secondary rainbows and supernumerary bows, You are also expected to explain why a red
laser light passes through easily on a red cellophane than on a green one and why colors of
clothing appears different in artificial light as compared to natural sunlight.
What’s New
1. In a well-lighted room, Hold a shiny spoon with the back side facing at you. Look at
you image and describe your observation.
2. Now, turn the spoon such that the front side faces you. Observe and describe your
image.
3. Write your observations in your journal notebook.
What Is It
For activity 7.5.1A, the back side of the spoon represents a convex mirror while the
front side of the spoon represents the concave mirror. Recalling the images formed in a
convex and concave mirror. In a convex mirror, reflected light rays diverge as if it originates
from the imaginary focus of the mirror, thus producing a small, upright and reverse image
just as what you observe. For concave mirror, reflected light rays bend towards the focus of
the mirror, thus producing an upside down or inverted image.
For Activity 7.5.1B, colored cellophane acts as filters for allowing certain colors to
pass through while absorbing the other colors. In the case of the activity, red laser light
passes through more easily in red cellophane than in green one because much of the red
light is absorbed in the green cellophane.
When light hits an object, some of its frequencies are absorbed and few are
reflected. Such in a case of green leaves, only green frequency is reflected while the other
frequencies are absorbed by the object. The green light is reflected to our eyes, and we see
it green. When all frequencies of light is reflected, we see white object, such as the white
clouds, but when all frequencies of light are absorbed, we see the object black.
Colored objects have pigments capable of reflecting specific colors of light. A blue
colored dress reflects the blue frequency and absorbs the other. But comparing the results of
reflection from a natural sunlight and an artificial light source such as from a LED light, the
color intensities is different. The blue dress would appears pale blue in an artificial light
because it contains less amount of blue light as compared to the natural sunlight.
What’s More
Analyze the photographs of different optical phenomena and answer the guide questions
below on your journal notebook.
A. B.
C. D.

Guide Questions:
1. On a very sunny day, have you observe the apparent pool of water on a straight
highway? What do you call this phenomena and what causes this? Which photo is
this?
2. Which photo shows a halo? What causes the formation of haloes?
3. Which photo depicts sundogs? What property of light causes sundogs?
4. Rainbows are spectacular view in the sky. What is the difference between a primary
rainbow and secondary rainbow?
5. Which among the pictures is a supernumerary bow?
What I Have Learned
Answer the questions briefly. Write your answers on your journal notebook.
1. Compare and contrast the images form in front side and the in the back side of a
shiny spoon. What does the front side of the spoon represent? The back side?
2. Why does red light passes through easily in red cellophane? What happens to the
green light as it passes through the red cellophane?
3. The color of the dress when artificial light is shone upon it is different compared to
the color of the dress when natural sunlight is shone upon it. Why?
What I Can Do
Now that you have studied various light phenomena, make a sketch or illustrate the
following in your journal notebook. Color your illustrations properly.

What’s In
In the previous topic, you have learned about light phenomena that are any
observable events that result from the interaction of light and matter. Various light
phenomena are often due to the interaction of light from the sun or moon with the

What Is It
HEINRICH HERTZ
1890
https://www.famousscientists.orghow-hertz-discovered-radio-waves
Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (1857–1894) was a German physicist who became the first person to
transmit and receive controlled radio waves. He was the first conclusively proved the
existence of electromagnetic waves theorized by James Clerk Maxwell's electromagnetic
theory of light.
It seems a little odd looking back that he had no practical purpose in mind for the radio
waves he discovered considering how indispensable his wireless transmissions quickly
became. His research focused only on discovering if James Clerk Maxwell’s 1864 theory of
electromagnetism was correct. Hertz was able to measure their wavelength and velocity but
was not only able to detect the waves. The scientific unit of frequency was cycles per second
or named "hertz" in his honour.
Hertz proved the theory that ruled out all other known wireless phenomena by engineering
instruments to transmit and receive radio pulses using experimental procedures. He
designed a brilliant set of experiments to test Maxwell's hypothesis. His apparatus consists
of polished brass knobs, each connected to an induction coil and separated by a tiny gap
over which sparks could leap.
Make an improvise Hertz’s experiment. Using the picture below as your guide or you
