Key light terms | While key terms may not be the most exciting prospect, they are the foundation of communicating effectively to other physicists and scientists. |
Properties of real light rays | Real light rays represent the way light travels, in straight lines. There are some particular rules and conditions that you must use when representing light rays in diagrams. |
Pin-hole cameras | Did you know that images in pin-hole cameras are upside down? Pin-hole cameras are one of the most simple form of camera and fascinatingly simple devices. They are also very useful tools to investigate light rays in a real world scenario. |
Law of Reflection | The law of reflection defines how lights rays reflect off a surface. This may sound simple, but is a rule that applies in all scenarios where a light ray reflects off a surface. |
Investigating the law of reflection with a ray box | Ray box, protractor, ruler, pencil, paper, mirror? There are a few methods to practically investigate the law of reflection. This one looks at using a ray box and mirror. |
Properties of virtual light rays | Virtual light rays are as non-existent as they sounds. They are not really there. They are very useful though as they can be used to find images in mirrors which look like they are they are there, but don't really exist. |
Reflection | Did you know that in a mirror your left hand becomes your right hand, and your right hand your left? Reflection is a phenomenon most of us will encounter every day. Every time you look in a mirror or see a reflection in a car window, you are observing reflection. |
