THE RAINBOW STORY

Once upon a time, the colors

of the world started to quarrel.
All claimed that they were the
best, the most important, the
most useful and the favorite.
 Green said: “Clearly I am the
most important, I am the sign of
life and of hope. I was chosen for
grass, leaves and trees. Without
me, all animals would die. Look
out over the countryside and you
will see that I am in the majority.”
Blue interrupted: “You only think
about the Earth, but consider the
sky and the sea. It is the water
that is the basis of life and drawn
up by the clouds from the deep
sea. The sky gives space and
serenity. Without my peace, you
would all be nothing.”
Yellow chuckled. “You are all so serious. I
bring laughter, gaiety, and warmth to the
world. The sun is yellow, the stars are
yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower,
the whole world starts to smile. Without
me, there would be no fun.”
Orange started next to blow her temper. “I
am the color of health and strength, think
of carrots, pumpkins and oranges. I don’t
hang around all the time, but when I fill the
sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so
striking that no one gives another thought
to any of you.”
Red could stand it no longer. He shouted
out: “I am the ruler of all of you! I am
blood! Life’s blood. I am the color of
danger and of bravery. I am willing to fight
for a cause. I bring fire to the blood!
Without me, the earth would be as empty
as the moon!”
Purple rose up to his full height, He was
very tall and spoke with great pomp: “I am
the color of royalty and power. Kings,
chiefs and bishops have always chosen
me for I am a sign of authority and
wisdom. People do not question me, they
obey me!”
Finally, indigo spoke much more quietly
than all the others but with just as much
determination. “I represent thought and
reflection, twilight and deep water. You
need me for balance and contrast, for
prayer and inner peace.”
And so all the colors went on boasting and
quarrelling, each convinced of their own
superiority.

Soon their quarrelling became louder and

louder. Suddenly there was a startling
flash of bright lightning!
Thunder rolled and boomed! Rain started
to pour down relentlessly. The colors
crouched down in fear drawing close to
one another.
In the midst of the clamor, Rain began to
speak: “You foolish colors, fighting
amongst yourselves, each trying to
dominate the rest. Don’t you know you
were each made for a special purpose,
unique and different? Joi n hands with one
another and come to me.”
 Doing as they were told, the colors
united and joined hands. The rain
continued: “From now on, when it
rains, each of you will stretch across
the sky in a great bow of colors as a
reminder that you can all live in peace.
 Questions:

What is the story about?

How did the rainbow formed according to the story?
What is the moral of the story?
Visible Light
 Is defined as the wavelengths
that are visible to most
human eyes
 It travels as waves
The Sun is the most important
source of light
LUMINOUS OBJECTS
objects that emit their own light

NON LUMINOUS OBJECTS

objects that do not emit their own light
 OPTICS
branch of physics that studies the behaviour and properties of light, including its
interactions with matter and the construction of instruments that use or detect it.

REFRACTION REFLECTION ABSORPTION TRANSMISSION

bending of light bouncing back of material’s taking passing of light
as it passes light when it hits in of light and not through some
through different an object reflecting it back materials
materials
 Different Materials
have Different Ways of TRANSPARENT
transmitting light allow light to pass through
them

TRANSLUCENT
allow SOME light to pass
through them

OPAQUE
DO NOT allow light to pass
through them
How Light Interacts with Different Materials
REFRACTION
is the bending of light (it
also happens with sound,
water and other waves) as
it passes from
one transparent substance
into another
REFLECTION
is when light bounces off
an object. If the surface
is smooth and shiny, like
glass, water or polished
metal, the light will
reflect at the same angle
as it hit the surface
Identify the following materials as opaque,
transparent or translucent
