Here are my thoughts on the questions: Q1. Yes, shadows can change. Their size and shape can change depending on the position of the light source, object casting the shadow, and surface the shadow falls on. Q2. During day-night matches, artificial lights are used which act as multiple point light sources from different positions on the ground. This causes multiple overlapping shadows. During day matches, the sun acts as a single distant point light source so only one shadow is seen. Q3. Birds flying high up are very close to the single distant light source of the sun. Their shadows would be very small and diffuse, falling on the ground mixed in with other shadows, so are difficult to distinguish individually from

Grade 7 - Term 2
2022-23
Day 1
● I can be focused on the task at hand.

Culture ● I can take active part and contribute


effectively during crew discussions.
Targets
● I can listen attentively and edit my work in
class authentically.
Luminous & Non-luminous Objects
The objects which have a light of their
own / emit their own light are called
Luminous objects. For eg - Sun, Candle
Flame, Torch, Stars, Fire

The objects which do not have a light of


their own / do not emit their own light
are called Non-Luminous objects. They
become visible only when light falls on
them.
For eg - Moon, table, book, car
What about the Moon? Is it a source of light?

Since Moon only reflects the light of the Sun and


does not have its own luminescence, it will not be
considered a source of light.
Day 2
What do you see?
Rectilinear Propagation of Light

- Light always travels in a straight


line.

- Once the light falls on an object, it


reflects in another direction and
continues to travel in a straight
path
What is a Ray of Light?

A ray is a narrow beam of light that


tends to travel in a straight line.

An example of a ray is the beam of


light from a laser or laser pointer.
Draw

Draw a diagram showing light rays


being emitted from a laser pointer.

Light rays from the candle flame


Point Source

Candle flame is a source of light.

Every point of the flame of the candle


emits rays of light in every direction.
Point Source

The candle flame has infinite


number of points on it from
where the light is emitted in
all directions.
Point Source

Point source is a source of light such that it


can be considered a point. All light rays are
emitted from that point.

These light rays when enter our eyes helps


us to see the objects around us.
How do we see objects?

To see an object, rays of light need


either to be emitted by, or reflected
from, the object, and then pass into our
eyes.

Objects send out light in many


directions. We see the object if enough
of this light enters our eye.

I can explain how a shadow can be made sharp/blur.


Think & Jot:

Q1. Do shadows change? If yes, How?

Q2. Why do we see multiple shadows of cricket players during Day - Night
matches and only one shadow during the day match?

Q3. Why isn’t the shadow of birds seen on the ground when they are flying?
