You must have a calculator, ruler (30 cm clear prefered) and a protractor.
Basic Concepts to be Understood
E3.1 describe various types of light emissions
(e.g., chemiluminescence, bioluminescence, incandescence, electric discharge) and how
they produce light
E3.2 identify and label the visible and invisible regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, and
identify the colours that make up visible white light
E3.3 explain the laws of reflection of light, and identify
ways in which light reflects from various types
of mirrors (e.g., plane, converging, diverging)
E3.4 describe qualitatively how visible light is
refracted at the interface between two different
media
E3.5 use additive colour theory to predict the results
of combining primary and secondary light colours
E3.6 use subtractive colour theory to describe the
effect of colour filters on white light
E3.7 explain how the colour of an object is determined
by reflection, absorption, and transmission
of colour
E3.8 explain how the properties of light or colour
are applied in the operation of an optical device
(e.g., a reflecting telescope, stop lights, stage lights)
Skills of Investigation & Communication
E2.1 use appropriate terminology related to light
and optics, including, but not limited to: angle
of incidence, angle of reflection, angle of refraction,
centre of curvature, focal length, luminescence,
magnification, principal axis, radius of curvature,
and vertex [C]
E2.2 use an inquiry process to investigate the laws
of reflection; use these laws to explain the characteristics
of images formed by plane, converging
(concave), and diverging (convex) mirrors; and
draw ray diagrams to illustrate their observations
[PR, AI, C]
E2.3 use an inquiry process to investigate the refraction
of light as it passes through a variety of
media (e.g., the angles of incidence and refraction
as light passes through a clear acrylic block)
[PR]
E2.4 predict the qualitative characteristics of images
(e.g., location, orientation, size, type)
formed by converging lenses, test their predictions
through inquiry, and draw ray diagrams
to record their observations [IP, PR, AI, C]
E2.5 investigate how various objects or media
(e.g., opaque, translucent, and transparent
materials; black-and-white surfaces) reflect,
transmit, or absorb light, and record their
observations using ray diagrams [PR, C]
E2.6 predict the effect of shining a coloured light
on objects of different colours, and test their
predictions through inquiry [IP, PR, AI, C]
E2.7 construct an optical device (e.g., a funhouse
mirror, a device that produces an optical illusion,
a solar oven) that uses a variety of mirrors [PR]
