When
light strikes an object, the light can be reflected, transmitted, or absorbed. Objects can be transparent, translucent, or opaque. |
![]() |
We see most things because of the colors that are absorbed or reflected off of them. The rose reflects red and absorbs blue and green. |
![]() |
When a ray of light hits a surface it bounces
off at an equal and opposite angle. Law of reflection states that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. In regular reflections, parallel rays reflect in parallel, giving a clear image. In diffuse reflections, rays are scattered, |
![]() |
Optics The technology of using lenses and mirrors to magnify images by bending light. A focal point is where light rays meet at a point and an object may come into focus. Its location is given as a distance from the center of a lens or mirror. |
![]() |
A mirror
is an object that reflects light.It can be shaped to change the size of
an image.It comes in three basic shapes.
|
![]() |
Refraction Index of refraction: Light travels at different speeds in different mediums. When a wave enters a medium at an angle, one side of the wave changes speed before the other side, causing the wave to bend or refract. This is how lenses work. |
![]() |
A
lens is a shaped object
that bends light. In can change the size of an image. The shape
of the lens controls the angle at which the light hits. Lenses comes in two basic shapes.

Scientist Edwin Hubble (1889-1953 of Wheaton, Illinois) Used observations with light telescopes to confirm the existence of galaxies in an expanding universe.. The Hubble space telescope was named in his honor. It uses a large mirror. |

Technology Light Telescopes: Reflecting telescopes (invented by Sir Isaac Newton ca 1668) use concave mirrors to focus animage into a lens. Refracting telescopes (first used for astronomy by Galileo Galilei in 1609) use lenses to magnify distant images.The first western telescopes appeared around 1600 in the Netherlands. |
