I. ELICIT
The teacher will call three (3) students to have a simple recall with the previous discussion.
II. ENGAGE
 The teacher will let the students give their answer about the question “Can you imagine a world without
light? What would it be like?”. Students must answer 2-3 sentences in the provided jamboard link by the
teacher.
III. EXPLORE
 The teacher will let the students watch short YouTube clips about nature of light and answer the
questions INDIVIDUALLY. The students will be given 10 minutes to accomplish their task.
Guide questions:
1. What is light?
2. Is light a particle or a wave? Why?
3. In 2-3 sentences explain how are we able to see non-luminous objects in the dark such as the moon.

LIGHT
 Light is a transverse, electromagnetic wave that can be seen by the typical human. Like all
electromagnetic waves, light can travel through a vacuum.
 Light has a definite speed, i.e., the speed of light can never change on its own. Light waves also travel
with a speed of 3.0 x 108 m/s.
 A light-year is the distance that light waves travel in one year.
WAVE THEORY OF LIGHT
 The theory was first spread by Christiaan Huygens and Robert Hooke in the 17th century. They at that
time predicted that the light was a wave as it could refract or bend when traveling from one medium to
another, reflect off shiny surfaces, diffract around objects.
7 TYPES OF ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES
 Radio waves are low-frequency electromagnetic waves. Radio waves have many practical applications
like media broadcasting, wireless communication, radio telescopes, etc.
 Microwave is a type of electromagnetic wave with wavelengths within the range of one metre to one
millimetre. Its corresponding frequencies range from 300 MHz to 300 GHz, respectively. 
 Infrared wave or IR radiation is a region of the electromagnetic spectrum where wavelengths range
from about 700 nanometers to 1 millimetre. Infrared waves are much longer wavelengths than those of
visible light but shorter wavelengths than those of radio waves. They are used to detect, locate and view
bodies in space. Infrared waves allow us to track and monitor the Earth’s temperature patterns. 
 Visible light is located in the middle of the EM spectrum. It is the section of the electromagnetic
spectrum that is optically visible to the human eye.  Rainbow is a type of visible light where each
rainbow color has different wavelengths. The red has the longest wavelength, and the violet has the
shortest wavelength.
 Ultraviolet waves are electromagnetic waves with wavelengths ranging from 10 nm (30 PHz) to 400 nm
(750 THz). They are much shorter than visible light and longer than X-rays. UV waves are present in
sunlight. Ultraviolet light could damage or harm the skin as it might cause sunburn and even affect the
human DNA.
 X-ray or X-radiation is a high-energy form of electromagnetic radiation. Generally, they have a
wavelength extending from 10 picometers to 10 nanometers with respective frequencies ranging from 30
petahertz to 30 exahertz.  They are famous for their application in medical imaging. They are used to
produce sharp monotone images of objects on X-ray films. Images are formed when X-ray radiations are
shot through a body part.
 A gamma-ray (gamma radiation) is a piercing type of electromagnetic radiation emanating from the
radioactive disintegration of subatomic nuclei. It is made of the shortest wavelength EM waves, with

frequencies above 30 exahertz. Gamma radiations are the most powerful EM waves. Gamma radiations
are produced from nuclear reactions, nuclear decays, stellar explosions, etc.

ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM

CORPUSCULAR THEORY OF LIGHT

 Light is composed of tiny particles called corpuscles that always travel in a straight line.
 The corpuscular theory explains the reflection of light in exactly the same way as the reflection of a
perfectly elastic ball from a rigid plane.
 When the corpuscles (particles) hit the reflecting surface, they are reflected from it in such a way that the
angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This is due to the repulsion between the corpuscles
and the reflecting surface.

QUANTUM THEORY OF LIGHT

 Max Planck came up with another theory and proposed that light is made of finite packages of energy
known as a light quantum or also called as photon, which depends on the velocity and frequency of
light.

WAVE-PARTICLE/ DUALITY OF LIGHT THEORY

 The concept of the wave-particle duality of light says that light possesses both wave and particle
properties, even though we cannot observe both at the same time.
PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT
 It is a phenomenon in which electrically charged particles are released from or within a material when it
absorbs electromagnetic radiation. The effect is often defined as the ejection of electrons from

a metal plate when light falls on it. 

VI. EVALUATE
 The teacher will provide the students Learning Activity Sheet, wherein the students have to draw and
elaborate how light reflects, and rearrange the types of EM waves from lowest frequency (left) to
highest frequency (right).

VII. EXTEND
The teacher will let the students to study in advance for the next topic, which is about the Characteristics
of Light.
