When light is reflected it’s direction of travel changes
angle i = angle r
Unit 6F: Shiny and dull surfaces: L.O. 8, 9: N.C. 4.3c
Unit 6F: Shiny and dull surfaces
Shiny and dull surfaces
You are going to investigate what types of surfaces reflect light the best, shiny or dull.
Test each of the surfaces to record whether it reflects a light beam from a torch and whether you can see yourself in the surface or not.
Can you draw any conclusions from your results?

Shadow Investigation
How can we change the size and position of the shadow?
Plan how you are going to investigate this?
What will you change

Unit 6F: Shadow Investigation
Shadow Investigation – support slide
How can we change the size and position of the shadow?What happens to the size of the shadow when you move the figure nearer to the light?What happens to the shadow when you move the figure further from the light?Does moving the screen have the same effect?Does moving the light make a difference?

Unit 6F: Shadow Investigation
Shadow Investigation – extension slide
Measure the distance between the figure and the screen and the height to the shadow.Record the results in a table
Plot your results on a line graph of Distance between figure and screen vs. height of shadow.
Are there any patterns in the results you have?
Distance between figure and screen
Height of shadow

Travels from a
sourceIn a straight line
Light enters our eyes
Direction of a ray can be indicated by an arrow
Reflections
By mirrors
Object is seen
Direction of beam is changed
Shiny surfaces better than dull
Shad
ows
Formed by opaque objects
Size can be changed
Object nearer light
Object nearer surface
