Essential Vocabulary & Concepts
Picture Core Knowledge or Concept
ReflectTransmitAbsorb
When light strikes an object, the light can be reflected, transmitted, or absorbed.

Objects can be transparent, translucent, or opaque.
rose

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.
Law ofReflection
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,
Focal Length
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.
Mirror Types
mirror is an object that reflects light.It can be shaped to change the size of an image.It comes in three basic shapes.
  1. plane: flat mirrors produce a reversed image
  2. concave: curved in towards the middle, they have a focal point and can create several different size and position images.
  3. convex: curved outwards from the middle, They create a smaller image 'behind' the mirror.
The curve of a mirror bends light by changing the angle it hits the surface of the mirror.
Refraction
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.  
Types of Lenses
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.
  1. concave: curved in towards the middle, they have a focal point behind the lens and can create a smaller image.
  2. convex: curved outwards from the middle, they have a focal point in front of the lens and can create two types of images, upside-down enlarged and .
Eyeglasses and contact lenses focus images on the back of the eye.
Karl Jansky
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.
Reflecting Telescope
refracting telescope
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.
