Test

We will be having a test on all of the content covered in our unit on light. This will be on Wednesday the 30th of March. This will include;


  • What light is
  • How light travels through different medium
  • Refraction (make sure you know that refraction causes light to shift towards the normal when going from a low to high refractive index, and shifts away from the normal when going from a high to a low refractive index. Also make sure you can explain why refraction occurs). 
  • The law of reflection
  • Total internal reflection
  • Ray diagrams
  • Colour
  • The eye and parts of the eye
All of this information can be found in the presentations in the "Class Content" tab. 

If you have any questions or concerns feel free to comment on this tab, or email or chat to me in person.

The Eye

Our eye is an amazing part of our body. It takes in light and allows us to see what is going on in the world around us. During this unit on light we will be spending some time looking at the eye and examining how it works and how it interacts with light. To do this we will be spending a few lessons on an assignment on the eye.

To access the assignment, click here. The assignment will also be available in the "Assignments" tab at the top of the page. The assignment will be due on Wednesday the 9th of March at the beginning of the lesson.

If you have any questions regarding the assignment, comment on this post, or email or chat to me in person.
