    Intended Student Learning Outcomes

    Learning outcomes intended for students:

    - What is white light made up of?

    This will be shown in Experiment 1

    - Light can travel as waves (waves differ in their frequency, wavelength and amplitude)

    This will be shown in Experiment 1

    - There are many different types of light (coloured light is one example, but there are others).

    Some of these wavelengths of lights have a greater frequency and are hence more powerful

    and dangerous (i.e. frequency is important)

    This will be shown in Experiment 2

    - Atoms contain electrons that absorb energy and get excited. When they get excited they reach

    an excited state and then when they return, they emit energy (emission & absorption of light).

    This will be shown in Experiment 3

    - The concept of monochromatic light, incident light, defection, reflection, concave, convex,

    diverging and converging etc.

    This will be shown in Experiment 4

    Experiment 1 : Building a simple spectroscope

    Aim: To show that white light is made up of a certain spectrum of colours. (red, orange, yellow, green,

    blue, indigo & violet. And to show that different light sources when viewed through a spectroscope reveal

    the wavelengths of colours that it contains. To show that different light sources have different spectrums.

    Background for the teacher:

    When trying to understand light and colour, first we need to understand that light travels in the form of

    a wave.TeAchnology, (2010)These waves have both high and low points. The distance between one

    high point to the next is called a wavelength. The shorter the wave length, the higher amount of energy it

    contains. The longer the wave length, the lower amount of energy. A good example of colourful

    wavelengths is the rainbow. The seven colours in the rainbow are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo

    and violet. These colours make up the visible spectrum.

    Natural or white light from the sun is made up of colours. These colours from red to violet have increasing

    levels of energy. Red has longer wavelengths and therefore contains less energy or a lower frequency.

    And violet has shorter wavelengths meaning it contains more energy and therefore a higher frequency.

    Both above and below the visible spectrum, waves exist. The waves below the red end of the spectrum are

    known as microwave, infrared and radio. Above the violet end of the spectrum, are ultraviolet, gamma and

    x-rays. We cannot see these waves with the naked eye so they are known as the invisible spectrum. The

    image below is of the electromagnetic spectrum which is made up of both the visible and invisible

    spectrums.

    Background for the class:

    Light travels in the form of a wave. These waves have both high and low points. The distance between

    one high point to the next is called a wave length. The shorter the wave length, the more energy the wave

    has. The longer the wave length, the less energy the wave has.

    In the rainbow there are seven colours: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. These colours

    make up the visible spectrum.

    Light from the sun is made up of these colours. In the order they are listed in above, they have increasing

    energy levels. So red wavelengths have the least energy, and violet wavelengths have the most.

    But there are more waves than just the ones we see in these colours. There are waves below the red end of

    the spectrum and they are called microwave, infrared and radio. Above the violet end of the spectrum, are

    ultraviolet, gamma and x-rays. We cannot actually see these waves with our eyes so they are known as the

    invisible spectrum. The image below is of the Electromagnetic spectrum Which shows both the visible

    and invisible spectrums.

    So light that looks like it is white is actually made up of all these colours, and there are ways that we can

    break down this white light to see the colours.

    Materials: - An old CD or DVD (that doesnt matter being damaged)

    - A cardboard tube (roughly the size of one at the end of a toilet roll)

    - Two black pieces of poster paper (Aprox 5 x 3cm)

    - Glue/Sticky tape

    - Scissors

    - A pencil

  • 8/6/2019 Resource Guide - Light

    7/25

    Method:

    Step 1: Using the pencil, trace the end of the cardboard tube onto the CD.

    Step 2: Cut out the circle shape that has been traced onto the CD

    Step 3: The cut out piece will be made up of two different materials. Peel them away from one and other

    and dispose of the part which is NOT transparent .

    Step 4: Glue or tape the transparent piece of CD onto one of the ends of the cardboard tube

    Step 5: Flip the tube over, and on the other end glue the two piece of poster paper side by side, leaving a

    small slit in between them to allow a small amount of light to get in.

    Step 6: Your spectroscope is complete! Find a light source (Eg. The sun, a light bulb etc), look through the

    end of the spectroscope with the CD cut out on it and aim the slit at the light source. You should then be

    able to see a spread of colours

    Experiment 2 : The Photoelectric Effect

    Aim:

    The aims of this experiment are to demonstrate the photoelectric effect and observe its dependence on

    the frequency of incident light.

    Background for the teacher:

    The emission of electrons from metals (or metal alloys) irradiated by light of suitable wavelength.

    Suppan, P (1994. Pg 13)

    Metal objects have electrons that are held loosely on their surface. When light is shined upon them, it

    was discovered that the metals released electrons. It was thought that energy from the light was passed

    onto the electrons and therefore provided them enough energy to break away. So if we changed the

    frequency of the light to a higher energy colour, and the intensity (the amplitude) then we should lose

    more electrons. Whereas if you used lower energy wavelengths then you would have to shine the light fora significantly longer period of time to provide the total energy required to release the electron.

    It was found though, that light that could release electrons from the surface needed to meet a certain

    frequency and amplitude in its wavelength. It didnt matter how long a metal is exposed to low frequency

    light, it could not provide enough energy to kick the electrons off the metal. Low energy light could not

    remove electrons no matter what duration it is shined for. For the electrons to be released they required

    a certain threshold of frequency and amplitude to provide an instant amount of energy.

    Background for the class:

    Metal objects (such as a soft drink can) have small particles called electrons held loosely on them. When a

    light which has high energy (high frequency) ie above the violet end of the visible spectrum is shined upon

    the metal, the electrons are given enough energy to jump off the metal surface. This is called the

    Photoelectric effect.

    The catch is, the light must be of a certain frequency (high energy) and intensity (larger amplitude/wave

    height) for this to work. Any light used with low energy (light at the red end of the visible spectrum) willnot be able to kick off the electrons, no matter how long the metal is exposed to it.

  • 8/6/2019 Resource Guide - Light

    12/25

    In this image the red arrows represent the light applied to the

    metal surface which is the rectangle. The blue arrows represent the electrons leaving the surface after

    being provided enough energy.

    Materials: - Aluminium Can (An old soft drink can is perfect)

    - Piece of sand paper

    - Copper wire ( 15- 17cm in length)

    - 10 Pieces of tinsel or wrapping foil (Cut into approximately 10cm long by 3mm wide strips)

    - 1 polystyrene cup

    - Sticky tape

    - Glue

    - Piece of wool / Paper bag

    - 1 piece of PVC plastic tube

    Method:

    Step 1: Using the sandpaper, lightly sand down the aluminium can (this is to remove any coating that the

    can has, as it has been exposed to the atmosphere. Also sand down the copper wire.

    Step 2: Using a small amount of sticky tape, attach the 10 strips of tinsel or wrapping foil to one end of the

    copper wire. Place them about 1mm apart from one and other.

    Step 3: Lay the can on its side and once again using a small amount of sticky tape attach the other end of

    the copper wire to the can. Make sure they are attached properly. (If there is a glue gun available and an

    adult to help you use it, then this can be helpful in the above attachments).

    Step 3: Turn the polystyrene cup upside down and add a drop of glue to its base. Stick the can (still on its

    side) on top of the cup. Make sure the wire & tinsel/foil are on the top side of the can and are as far away

    from the polystyrene cup as possible.

    Step 4: Use the piece of wool/paper bag to rub against the piece of PVC plastic tube in an up and downmotion. This action will remove electrons from the wool/paper bag and build them up on the plastic tube.

    Step 5: Now take the tube and move it through the tinsel/foil strips that are hanging from the wire.

  • 8/6/2019 Resource Guide - Light

    13/25

    Step 6: The strips will be attracted to the tube and will spread out from one and other. They will maintain

    this formation until you place your finger on the can. This occurs because the electrons are now deposited

    onto you.

    Step 7: Repeat steps 4 & 5.

    Step 8: This time once the strips are spread out take a normal flashlight and shine it o the can. Take note if

    there is any change or not

    Step 9: Take a UV lamp and shine it over the can. Was there any change this time?

    Glossary of terms:

    Atmosphere: The gaseous fluid surrounding the earth; ie. the air. Macquarie , (1998 pg 61)

    Amplitude: The maximum absolute value of a periodically varying quantity. ( The height of a wave). The

    Free Dictionary, (2011)

    Questions:

    1. Which light would show a better example of the photoelectric effect, Ultraviolet or Infrared?

    2. The Photoelectric effect is:

    A. The release of electrons from a heated metal

    B. The capture of electrons by a metal surface

    C. The release of electrons from metal when light falls on its surface

    D. The capture of electrons by shining light on them

    3. Which one of these statements is correct about the threshold frequency?

    A. Only the amplitude of the light waves is important.

    B. Only the frequency of the light is important.

    C. Both the amplitude of the wave and the frequency of light are important.

    D. Neither the amplitude of the wave and the frequency of light are important.

    Light Source 1: Light Source 2: Light Source 3:

    List which sources were successful and which were not:

    How did you know they were unsuccessful?

    Because the tinsel remained in its brush like formation after the can was exposed to the light.

    Why would they have been unsuccessful?

    Because the lights were not of a high enough frequency and intensity.

    Experiment 3: Luminol coil

    Aim: To excite molecules by providing them with enough energy for them to reach an excited state

    which they can emit as light.

    Background for the teacher:

    Reactions that produce light but little heat are known as cool light reactions or chemiluminescence

    reactions. It is during vigorous chemical reactions, and particularly in oxidations, excited molecules are

    formed of which proportion may escape deactivating influences and lose their energy by the emission of

    visible radiation Bowen, E. J. (1946. Pg267)

    So when molecules are provided with an abundance of energy they reach their excited state. Of course

    they have to eventually return to their original state, but first they must release all the energy they were

    provided with in the first place. This energy is released as light (Photons are released).

    Background for the class:

    When molecules are given a lot of energy all at once they start to get excited. For them to go back to how

    they were originally, they have to use up all of the energy they were given. To do so, they release the

    energy in the form of light (Photons are released). This type of reaction produces light but no heat and so

    it is called a chemiluminescence reaction or a cool light.

    Materials:

    Requirements for equipment setup

    - 2 x syringes

    - 1 x funnel

    - 2 x Tygon

    - 1 x Glass spiral

    - 1 x clamp

    - 1 x retort stand with adjustable clamps

    Requirements for solutions

    - 2 x 1Lt conical flasks

    - Stirring flea

    - 2.45g sodium carbonate

    - Water

    - 0.1g Luminol

    - 12g sodium bicarbonate- 0.25g ammonium carbonate monohydrate

    - 0.2g copper(II)sulphate pentahydrate

    - 25ml 30% hydrogen peroxide solution

  • 8/6/2019 Resource Guide - Light

    17/25

    Method:

    Two solutions will need to be made up.

    Solution A:

    Step 1: add 2.45g of sodium carbonate to one of the conical flasks.

    Step 2: add 250ml of water to the flask and dissolve the sodium carbonate. (a stirring flea may be

    required to completely dissolve the substance.)

    Step 3: Once dissolved add 0.1g of Luminol and once again dissolve it.

    Step 4: Add 12g of sodium bicarbonate, 0.25g of ammonium carbonate monohydrate and 0.2g of

    copper(II)sulphate pentahydrate one straight after the other and stir all ingredients until complete

    dissolution is reached. (Some heat may be required to achieve this, but make sure solution is cooled down

    before use.

    Step 5: Add enough water to reach the 500ml mark on the flask.

    Solution B:

    Step 1: add 25ml of 30% hydrogen peroxide to the second flask.

    Step 2: add enough water to reach the 500ml mark on the flask.

    The equipment should be setup as follows:

    18/25

    Once both the solutions are complete, follow these steps:

    Step 1: Move into a dark area.

    Step 2: Pour each solution into each of the separate syringes.

    Step 3: The mixture should now give off a glow as it travels down the spiral.

    Glossary of terms:

    Molecule: Any very small particle Macquarie , (1998 pg 735)

    Photon: A quantum of light energy Macquarie , (1998 pg 865)

    Questions:

    - Why is this reaction considered a cool light? Because it produce light but none or very little heat.

    - Will the mixture continue to glow for as long as it is kept? No. Eventually once all the energy is

    released it will return to its original state

    Extension activities:

    - Explain in your own words, your understanding of why the solution radiated light.

    Experiment 4 : Internal Reflection and Streaming Water

    Aim: To demonstrate the total internal reflection of a laser beam in a water.

    Background for the teacher:

    It is possible for four things to happen to a light wave.

    1. It can be reflected

    2. It can be refracted

    3. It can be transmitted

    4. Or It can be absorbed

    The way the light reacts depends on the object that the wave length hits.

    Black objects absorb the light, solid objects reflect the light and transparent objects transmit the light

    through them.

    The colour of any object we see, depends on which colours within white light it absorbs, and which

    colours it reflects. In a totally dark room, we are unable to detect any colour at all. But when we switch

    on the lights, an Orange will look orange to us because it reflects orange and absorbs all the other colours.

    In the same way that a strawberry looks red because it absorbs all the colours except red.

    When light is blocked by an opaque object, that is when a shadow is formed.

    Convex lenses: These lenses are able to concentrate light rays and so are called a converging lens

    Concave lenses: These lenses are able to spread light rays and so are called a diverging lens

    These two types of lenses are used for spectacles and contact lenses and optical instruments such as

    microscopes, telescopes and cameras.

    Refraction is simply the bending of a wave or light and it occurs as it is transmitted from a certain medium

    to a less dense one and vice versa as it changes speed. It only happens though when it meets a new

    substance at an angle other than 90 degrees.

    Reflection: The main rule for mirrors in reflection is that the angle of incidence equals the angle of

    reflection. As light travels in straight lines unless bent.

    Total internal reflection happens when a beam of light hits a medium interface at an angle larger than a

    particular critical angle with respect to the normal to the surface.

    The refractive index of a substance is a measure of the speed of light in that substance. Beckett, T

    If the refractive index is lower on the other side of the boundary, no light can pass through and all of the

    light is reflected. The critical angle being the angle of incidence above which the total internal reflection

    occurs.

    Convex lenses: These lenses are able to concentrate light rays and so are called a converging lens

    Concave lenses: These lenses are able to spread light rays and so are called a diverging lens

    Refraction is simply the bending of a wave or light and it occurs as it is transmitted from a certain medium

    to a less dense one or the other way around. This happens because the light wave changes speed

    between the two substances. It either speeds up or slows down.

    Total internal reflection happens when a beam of light hits a medium interface at an angle larger than the

    maximum angle the light is allowed to break through. If the speed that light travels at is lower on the

    other side of the boundary, no light can pass through and all of the light is reflected.

    - Clear empty plastic bottle with cap

    - Water

    - Large bucket/plastic container

    - Candle

    - Pliers

    - Masking tape

    - Wooden blocks

  • 8/6/2019 Resource Guide - Light

    22/25

    Method:

    Step 1: Heat the nail over the candle flame and using the pliers take the nail and burn a hole about a

    quarter of the way up the bottle.

    Step 2: Put a piece of masking tape over the hole and fill the bottle with water.

    Step 3: Immediately put the cap on the bottle to create a vacuum inside and therefore prevent the water

    from spilling out the hole.

    Step 4: Place the bottle on a stack of wooden blocks with the hole facing a bucket.

    Step 5: Position the laser so that it passes through the plastic bottle and through the hole.

    Step 6: Remove the tape and unscrew the lid.

    Step 7: As the water streams out, the laser light should be reflected within the bending stream. Here you

    have created total internal reflection that should be visible all the way down the stream.
