LIGHT

Rays and beams

Reflection

Shadows

refraction :

The bouncing of light trays off a surface

bending of light as it travels from one medium to another of a different density

The light ray changes its directions and bends

thin line of light coming from a source

a bundle of light rays is called a beam of light

parallel (e.g spotlight)

divergent (e.g lighthouse)

convergent (e.g light through glasses lens)

reflection in a mirror

it is upright

image and object are the same size

it is virtual

laterally inverted

distance of object and image from the mirror is equal

Formed when light is blocked by opaque object

takes the shape of the object that blocks the path of light
