WEEK 3
Activity 1: Reflecting Me! 
Complete table below to describe how reflection and refraction are explained by the wave
theory and the particle theory of light concise.

reflection-Upon impacting a mirror, the waves are reflected according to the arrival angles

refraction-changes direction when it passes from the first medium into the second

PToL:

reflection-the particle theory also suggests that if the surface is very rough, the particles bounce away at
a variety of angles, scattering the light

refraction-within a medium experiences no net force. Near an interface, between air and water, light
particles experience an attractive force towards the water

Activity 2: Matching Perfectly 


Match the expressions in column A with those in column B by placing the letter that
corresponds to the best answer on the space provided.

1.A
2.D
3.C
ACTIVITY 3

Properties of Descriptiom Applicable light phenomena


light

1Dispersion 2.is a statistical term that describes the size of the Rainbow
distribution of value expected for particular variable

Scattering of 3.is responsible for this blue colored sky and 4.blue is most predominant
light beautiful horizon to our site, so we see the
blue sky

Diffraction 5.you will observe the vertical white and dark bands 6.light through the slit
which is due to the bending of light as it passes between your finger
through an openning or an obstacle

7.interference 6.the beautiful spectrum of colors reflected on the Ranbow colored appearance
of light soap bubbles is soap bubbles

Multiple Choice. Choose the letter of the best answer. Write the chosen letter on a separate
sheet of paper. 
1. In reflection, how is the wave theory of light related to particle theory of light? 
A. They complement each other 
B. They are contradicting each other 
C. There is no difference between the wave theory and particle theory of light. 
D. Together, they show that reflection is popular than refraction. 
2. Which of the following best describes the refraction phenomenon? 
A. It is explained better using the wave model of light than the particle model of light. 
B. It is explained using the photon theory of light. 
C. The particle model predicts that particles of light will speed up as they pass through the
boundary between air and water. 
D. The wave model correctly predicts that light will slow down as it passes through the boundary
between air and water 
3. How do we see a tree? 
A. The light that reaches our eyes has been reflected by the tree. 
B. The light that reaches our eyes has been refracted by the tree 
C. The light that reaches our eyes has been separated into a spectrum by the tree. 
D. The light that reaches our eyes has undergone interference in passing through the tree. 
4. In photographic darkrooms, what is the reason why red light is used? 
A. Most of the photographic films are not sensitive to red light. 
B. Photographic paper is not sensitive to white light. 
C. The frequency for red light is low hence the energy of the photos is less. 
D. The frequency of the red light is high hence the energy of the photos is high. 

5. E = hf is an equation that describes the relationship between the energy (E) and frequency of
light (f). Why do we easily get sunburned in ultraviolet light but not in visible light? 
A. Ultraviolet light is of higher frequency than visible light; therefore, it has higher energy and is
sufficiently energetic to cause skin damage. 
B. Ultraviolet light has longer wavelengths than visible light; therefore, it has lower energy and is
sufficiently energetic to cause skin damage. 
C. Ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths than visible light; therefore, it has higher energy and
is sufficiently energetic to cause skin damage. 
D. Ultraviolet light is of lower frequency than visible light; therefore, it has lower energy and is
sufficiently energetic to cause skin damage. 
6. Which property of light is responsible for the silver lining at the edges of the clouds? 
A. Dispersion C. Interference 
B. Scattering D. Diffraction 
7. It is a natural occurrence produced by the refraction of light as it travels between hot and cold
air. 
A. Mirage C. Virtual image 
B. Myriad D. Real image 
8. Which of the following situations exemplifies the dispersion property of light? 
A. The image of the flower in a mirror 
B. The sparkling glow of the diamond ring 
C. The swaying movement of coin underwater 
D. The rainbow in the sky after the rain shower 
9. Explain when can diffraction of light occurs? 
A. When photons oscillate in certain directions are absorbed, while others that oscillate in line
with the filter pass through. 
B. When light strikes the boundary between substances at an angle greater than the critical
angle. 
C. When waves spread and bend as they pass through small openings or around barriers. 
D. When two or more waves overlap or intersect. 
10. What effect does interference of light waves have on soap bubbles? 
A. They become larger 
B. They become heavier 
C. They produced different colors at the surface. 
D. They produced images of objects like a mirror
