 Laws of reflection:

1stlaw of reflection “the angle of ………………………… equals to the

angle of reflection.

………………………… line is the line which is perpendicular to the

surface of the plane.

Application of light reflection and periscope

Simple periscope is made of ……….. mirrors facing each other.
Periscopes used by …………………… and tanks.
Transmission of light through: transparent, translucent and opaque.
a. ……………………………………. materials allow the light to pass through.
b. Translucent materials allow the light …………………………………………..
c. ……………………… materials do not allow light to pass through them.

Refraction of light
…………………………………. is the bending of light waves when they pass
from medium into another differing in density.
Light bends because it changes speed when it moves materials that
have different ……………………………...

When you put a spoon inside a water container it looks like bended.
This is due to ………………………………. Of light.
a. Refraction
b. Reflection
c. Dispersion
 Refraction in denser medium
When light moves from one medium to denser medium it bends
…………………………………. the normal.

In the above medium …………….. is denser than medium ……………….

Refraction in less dense medium
When light moves from one medium to less dens medium it bends
………………………….. from the normal.
Lenses
There are two types of lenses.
Convex lens: is thick in the ………………………. and thin in the edges.
Concave lens: is ………………….. in the middle and thick in the edges.

Draw convex lens Draw concave lens

Refraction of light through lenses:

in convex lens the light is refracted inside and then gathered in one
point, so it is called ………………………………….. lens.
Why the convex lens called positive lens?
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In concave lenses refract light ………………………………..

It is called …………………………………………. Lens.

When light is shined in the convex lens the light bends inward and
gathered at point. The point at which sunlight gathered is called
………………………… point.
The distance between the lens and the focal point is called focal
…………………………….

Image formation by lenses at different distances

Answer the following:
1. When the object is between lens and F

Position of the Real or virtual Inverted or erect Magnified or

image diminished

2. When the object is at the F

Position of the Real or virtual Inverted or erect Magnified or

image diminished

3. When the object is between F and 2F

Position of the Real or virtual Inverted or erect Magnified or
image diminished

4. When the object is beyond 2F

Position of the Real or virtual Inverted or erect Magnified or

image diminished

The part of the human eye

…………………………….: is the outer part of the eye that protects and maintains the
shape of the eye.

The ………………..……… coat: is the middle of the eye which has a black substance.
Its function is to absorb light rays and to prevent reflection that disturbs image
formation.
The function of ciliary body is: ………………………………………………………………
What is the inner part of the eye which is found at the back side?
………………………………………………..

Which part of the eye focuses the light to retina? ……………………………………..

The hypothesis of vision

Which part of the eye controls the amount of light entering to it? ………………………..
What happen to the pupil at dark? a. it contracts b. relaxes
Q1. Is there any difference in size and shape between the seen object and its
image which is formed in the retina? …………………………………………………………………….
Q2. Why does the image appear inverted? ……………………………………………………………

The role of the brain in the vision

What is the role of the brain to the inverted image of object in the retina?
