This video explains the science behind reflection in plane mirrors, including the formation of virtual and real images, lateral inversion, and the properties of upright and erect images. It also includes an activity to identify letters...

Part 1 of a 2-part series, this animation teaches that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen. The animation features scenario-based learning to portray the science of seeing, such as headlamps to...

Part 2 of a 2-part series, students will continue to learn that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen. This animated sequel expands on the original experiment set out in Part 1. Students will make a...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how light can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted as it moves from one medium to another. The reflection of different wavelengths creates the perceived color of an object. Absorbed light is...

This video provides a simple and concise explanation of how mirrors work. It covers the history of mirrors, from primitive stones to modern glass coated with a thin layer of metal. The video explains the concept of reflection and how...

This is a lecture video explaining the concepts of specular and diffuse reflection. The video discusses how light rays follow the law of reflection, where the angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection. It gives...

Using real world demonstrations and colorful graphics, Real World Science: Light teaches students the different properties of light, pertinent definitions and how light travels. Students will learn how different mediums can affect light,...

This video helps students develop a model to describe how light reflects from objects and then enters the eye. Real-life examples illustrate how this process enables us to see things around us. The video helps students conduct hands-on...

In this video we cover:

- The three things that may happen when a wave hits the boundary between two mate
rials
- How to draw ray diagrams, including the angle of incidence, the normal, and the angle of...

This video is a lecture on the colors of opaque objects and how light interacts with different surfaces to define the color of an object. It explains how white light is a combination of all visible colors and that surfaces with color...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how light that is perfectly reflected creates specular reflection. The angle of the incident ray is equal to the angle of the reflected ray. Specular reflection is also known as mirror-like...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how light can be refracted, or bent, as it moves from one medium to another. The amount of refraction is determined by the angle of incidence and the index of refraction. Snell's Law can be used to...

Dr. Forrester explains how light reflects and refracts.

Pupil outcome: I can explain how mirrors are reflective materials that are used to change the direction in which light travels. Key learning points: - When light is reflected off the surface of an object, it changes direction. -...

In this video, you will see how you can use reflective surfaces to redirect a light beam to wherever you need to if you place the mirrors correctly. Can you use what you learned to guide a light beam through a maze and around obstacles...

An explanation of how light passes through transparent, translucent and opaque objects. The science is told in an imaginative way using cutting-edge technology through the character of Leia Light - an individual who has the superpower to...

Dr. Forrester explains light energy and how it travels.

Optical fibres can carry information using visible light and something called total internal reflection. It works by bouncing waves off the sides of a thin piece of plastic or glass until it emerges at the end. Total internal reflection...

This video covers:

- Why objects appear the colour th
ey do
- What happens when light is absorbed, reflected and tr
ansmitted
- What makes objects appear opaque, transparent an
d translucent
- How

What is refraction and how does it produces the colours and shape of a rainbow? Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. Rainbows are beautiful tricks of the light. Rainbows are caused when light is reflected and refracted by water....

This is a lecture presentation on the topic of reflection and refraction experiments. The presenter explains the key terms involved in the experiment and demonstrates how the changing angle of incidence affects the angles of reflection...

This video is a tutorial on how to conduct an experiment investigating the reflection and refraction of light using a glass block. The video goes over the steps required to set up the experiment and make measurements of the angle of...

In this video, we learn about the science behind apparent sunrise and delayed sunset. We explore the phenomenon of refraction of light and its effects on the direction and speed of light as it passes through different mediums. Through a...
