2. What is light energy?
•Light energy is a form of
energy that is visible to the
human eye and travels in
waves.

3. Importance of Light Energy
•Light energy helps us
see things around us
and is essential for life
on Earth

4. Importance of Light
All living things needs light.

5. Characteristics of Light Energy
Travels in straight lines
• Can be reflected, refracted,
or absorbed
• Can be produced by natural
sources like the sun or
artificial sources like light
bulbs

6. Sources of Light Energy
Artificial Light Source

7. Sources of Light Energy

8. Artificial Light Source

9. How light moves
•Light travels in straight lines called rays.
•When an object blocks the path of light,
it creates a shadow.
•Light can also bend when passing
through different materials, which is
called refraction.

10. Light travels in a form of Waves

11. Reflection of Light
Reflection occurs when light
bounces off a surface.
•Example: A mirror reflects
light, allowing us to see our
reflection.
•Experiment: Use a mirror to
demonstrate reflection.

12. Refraction of Light
Refraction is the bending of light as
it passes from one material into
another.
• Example: When light passes
through water, it appears to bend.
• Experiment: Place a pencil in a
glass of water and observe how it
appears bent.

13. Absorption of Light
Definition: Absorption happens when
light is taken in by an object instead of
being reflected or transmitted through
it.
• Example: Dark-colored objects
absorb more light than light-colored
objects.
• Experiment: Compare how different
colored papers absorb light.

14. Uses of Light Energy
Seeing: Light helps us see objects and
navigate our surroundings.
Energy: Light can be converted into electricity
through solar panels.
Communication: Light is used in technologies
like lasers for communication and data
transmission.

15. Conclusion
Recap: Light energy is a form of energy
that travels in waves and is visible to the
human eye.
Importance: It helps us see, provides
energy, and enables communication.
