Summary of light shadows and reflection<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Light:<\/span><\/strong>Light, electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the human eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shadows<\/span><\/strong>:A shadow is a dark (real image) area where light from a light source is blocked by an opaque object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflection:<\/strong><\/span>The production of an image by or as if by a mirror<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luminous<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objects like the sun that give out or emit light of their own are called luminous objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TRANSPARENT, OPAQUE AND  TRANSLUCENT OBJECTS OBJECTS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

TRANSPARENT::<\/span><\/strong> If you are able to see clearly through an object, it is allowing light to pass through it and is transparent. ex air, water, and clear glass <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opaque object<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we cannot see through an object at all, it is an opaque object<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ex:<\/strong> wood, stone<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Translucent:<\/span><\/strong>There are some objects through which we can see, but not very clearly. Such objects are known As translucent. Ex rosted glass and some plastics<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT EXACTLY ARE SHADOWS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A  shadow is a dark real image area where light  from a light source is blocked by an opaque object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A PINHOLE CAMERA<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A pinhole camera<\/strong><\/em> is a simple camera without a lens but with a tiny aperture effectively a light-proof box with a small hole in one side. Holding the pinhole camera look through the open face of the smaller box. You should use a piece of black cloth to cover your head and the pinhole camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use of Pin hole camera pinhole<\/strong>  camera is used to is to capture the photography AND  movement of the sun over a long period of time. This type of photography is called solography. Pinhole<\/strong> photography is used for artistic reasons, but also for educational purposes to let pupils learn about, and experiment with, the basics of photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MIRRORS AND REFLECTIONS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We all use mirrors at home. You look into the mirror and see your own face inside the mirror. What you see is a reflection of your face in the mirror. Sometimes, we see reflections of trees, buildings and other objects in the water of a pond or a lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Can you think of creating a shape that would give a circular shadow if held in one way and a rectangular shadow if held in another way?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ans:<\/span><\/strong>Yes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. In a completely dark room, if you hold up a mirror in front of you, will you see a reflection of yourself in the mirror?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ans:<\/span><\/strong>No, in a dark room, a mirror reflection of the image will not be shown as the light will not fall on the mirror to reflect the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name some Transparent objects or materials.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Ans:<\/span><\/strong>Air, Water, A sheet of plane glass, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
