SUBJECT: PHYSICS
LESSON NAME: LIGHT ENERGY
METHODS USED: LECTURES, DEMONSTRATION METHOD
SCHOOL NAME: THE HYDERABAD PUBLIC SCHOOL, KADAPA
SUBJECT INTEGRATION: GEOGRAPHY, MATHEMATICS, HISTORY, ARTS
SKILLS: TO INCULCATE LOGICAL THINKING, PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITY IN
STUDENTS.
GLOBAL OBJECTIVES: TO DEVELOP SCIENTIFIC ATTITUDE, TO CREATE
INTEREST IN SCIENCE
LESSON PLAN
Specific learning Outcomes
1. Knowledge 1.Students will be able to define light, reflection and all
the terms related to light
2.Students will be able to know that speed of sound is
3*108m/s
2. Understanding 1. Students will be able to know reflection of light on
different surfaces
2. Students will be able to explain how light travels
3. Application 1. Usage of light in optical fibers, in medical uses and
telecommunications Endoscopes are used to get the
images of hollow organs by sending a beam of light
through optical fibers.
2. Photosynthesis
3. Light is used to transmit data through optic fibers.
4. Skill Light is a form of energy that enables us to see
things. Light starts from a source and bounces off
objects which are perceived by our eyes and our
brain processes this signal, which eventually
enables us to see.
Global learning Outcomes:
Determine the angle of reflection of a reflected ray
Determine the position of a point in a reflected image of an object
SPECIFIC LEARNING OUTCOMES
CONTENT:
Reflection:
The bouncing back of light after striking reflecting surface into the same
media
Laws of reflection
1. The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal lie on
the same plane
2. Angle of reflection is always equal to the angle of
incidence
REGULAR REFLECTION AND IRREGULAR REFLECTION:
Image formed in a plane mirror:
Angle between two mirrors placed at different angles in a plane mirror:
N=360/ø
ACTIVITY:
A spherical mirror is a mirror which has the shape of a piece cut out of a
spherical surface. There are two types of spherical mirrors: concave,
and convex.
Concave and Convex Mirrors:
The reflecting surface of a spherical mirror may be curved inwards or outwards.
A spherical mirror, whose reflecting surface is curved inwards, that is, faces
towards the centre of the sphere, is called a concave mirror.
A spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved outwards is called a
convex mirror.
ACTIVITY to show that virtual image cannot be caught on a screen and real
image can be caught on a screen:
Uses of Concave Mirror:
Concave mirrors are commonly used in torches, search lights, and vehicles
headlights to get powerful parallel beams of light.
They are often used as shaving mirrors to see a larger image of the face.
The dentists use concave mirrors to see large images of the teeth of patients.
Large concave mirrors are used to concentrate sunlight to produce heat in solar
furnaces.
Uses of Convex Mirror:
Convex mirrors are commonly used as rear-view (wing) mirrors in vehicles.
These mirrors are fitted on the sides of the vehicle, enabling the driver to see
traffic behind him/her to facilitate safe driving.
