v, : Vises of transparent materials : Transparen 16.3 SOURCES OF LIGHT The objects which emit light are called the sources of light. We can classify sources of light into natural sources and artificial sources. Natural Sources of Light : The sun and other stars are the natural sources of light. Artificial Sources of Light : It includes candles, matches, electric lamps, torch, etc. ee a Candie Bulb , 8 Dia Lamp AvHifiGal SOUrCES Of light 16.4 TRANSPARENT, TRANSLUCENT AND OPAQUE MATERIALS There are many objects around us such as water, milk, paper, wood, stone, glass, butter paper etc. But, when we bring these objects in the light, they behave differently. We can classify these materials _ into transparent, translucent and opaque. ‘(Transparent Materials ‘Materials that allow light to pass through them completely are called transparent materials. For example, glass, water, etc. We can clearly see objects through transparent materials.) fOraque Materials ._ 1154! Science ‘materials, specially glass is used for many purposes. 1. Inmaking window panes and doors. 2. In spectacles 3. In binoculars 4. In making utensils ‘Translucent Materials Materials that allow light to pass through them partially are called translucent materials. For ‘example, butter paper, milk, water etc. We cannot see clearly through a translucent object. } Uses of Translucent Materials : Translucent als are not widely used. However, windows | | ye materi and doors are made of translucent materials to allow only a small amount of light to enter the room. Materials that do not allow light to pass through them are called opaque materials. For example, wood, stone, iron, etc. We cannot see anything through an opaque material.) } aierial "Orie Canniok See through opaque ma Opaque materials | s visibility ® there Uses of Opaque Materials : are used for various purposes.

Method : Make small holes at the centre of each squore, Now place these cardboard squares on flat wooden surface in a straight line so that you could see through the holes of all the three cardboards. Now ‘plce a lighted candle so that the flame of the candle could be seen through the holes. % deslace one of the cardboards slightly so that the “are no longer in a straight line. The flame of the “wil not be visible now. This activity shows that "vel in a straight-line.

Actually the light Scanned with CamScanner (Formation of Image Image is formed in a mirror or any polished surface when light coming from a source falls on the objects placed infront of a mirror is reflected by the mirror to the eyes, creating the illusion of counting from a corresponding series points behind the mirro)’A plane mirror forms an image exactly equal to the size of the object but laterally reversed. Laterally reversed means, if you see your image holding an object in right hand, you will see your image in the mirror holding the object in left hand. The boy is holding ‘stick in his right hand but in image the stick looks in the left and due to lateral inversion, Regular reflection and irregular reflection When you see your face in a mirror, your face appears clearly in the mirror but when you see your face in a steel plate, your face does not appear in it clearly. The reason behind it is the surface of the mirror and the plate, We can classify the reflection of various objects into regular reflection and irregular reflection, Regular Reflection : When the beam of light strikes on smooth and polished surface and bounces off in a definite direction, such reflection is Difference betwe. called regular reflection, Regular reflection i place in water, mirror and polished metals, Regular reflection — Irregular Reflection : When the beam of light strikes on a smooth and polished surface and bounces off in indefinite direction, such reflection is called irregular reflection. Irregular reflection takes place in books, card boards, rocks, walls, ete RG SY
