Specific Learning Outcomes
At the completion of this topic, students should be able to:
use the words incident, reflected, ray, angle and normal to state a rule for the reflection of light.
explain the following properties of an image seen in a plane mirror:
The image is the same size as the object.
The image is the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front.
A line joining the object and the image is perpendicular to the mirror.
The image is laterally inverted.
The image is virtual.
construct a ray diagram to explain how the image of an object is seen in a plane mirror.
state the meaning of the word refraction.
use the words less, more, dense, material, towards, away and normal to state two rules for refraction.
describe the relative refractive power of some common transparent materials.
construct a ray diagram to explain how refraction changes the apparent size and location of objects
state the meaning of the terms dispersion and visible spectrum.
describe the dispersion of white light as it passes through a triangular prism.
state the meaning of the terms critical angle and total internal reflection.
state the two conditions required for total internal reflection to occur.
list and explain some uses of total internal reflection.
explain the connection between refractive (bending) power of a material and the speed of light in that material.
distinguish between transverse and longitudinal waves and give examples of each type.
state the meaning of the words amplitude, wavelength, frequency, period and wave speed.
give the symbol and unit for amplitude, wavelength, frequency, period, and wave speed.
solve the problems using the equations: v =d/t, v = ƒ λ, ƒ =1/T
state the meaning of the word diffraction.
explain how the amount of diffraction is affected by wavelength, frequency and size of gaps.
describe and explain everyday examples of wave behaviour: e.g.
sounds waves
water waves
waves on string and springs
earthquake waves
electromagnetic waves (radio, television, micro, infra-red, visible, ultra-violet, x-rays,
gamma rays).
