23. LET’S PONDER!
Relate yourself about the dual nature of both
light and electrons (behave like particles and
waves). Was there an instance in your life that
you behave like a particle (making an impact
to other lives) and a wave (being interfered but
not disturbed)?

30. The separation of visible light into its different colors
(ROYGBIV) is known as dispersion.

31. The separation of visible light into its different colors
(ROYGBIV) is known as dispersion.

32. Diffraction is the bending of light around corners such that
it spreads out and illuminates areas where a shadow is
expected.
Diffraction

33. Diffraction is the bending of light around corners such that
it spreads out and illuminates areas where a shadow is
expected.
Diffraction

34. Interference of light is the phenomena of multiple light
waves interfering with one another under certain
circumstances, causing the combined amplitudes of the
waves to either increase or decrease.

35. Interference of light is the phenomena of multiple light
waves interfering with one another under certain
circumstances, causing the combined amplitudes of the
waves to either increase or decrease.

36. Interference Constructive Interference

37. Interference
Constructive Interference
This results when the waves arrive together at a point in
phase, that is, crest to crest or trough to trough. The result
is a reinforced wave of amplitude equal to the sum of the
amplitudes of the two waves.

38. Interference
Destructive Interference
This results when the waves arrive together at a point 1800
out of phase, that is crest to trough. The resultant wave is
of a lesser amplitude equal to the difference of the
amplitudes of the individual waves.

39. Interference of light is the phenomena of multiple light
waves interfering with one another under certain
circumstances, causing the combined amplitudes of the
waves to either increase or decrease.

40. Scattering is the process in which air molecules absorb
sunlight and reemit in various directions.

you. Then use that light to

44. Why is our reflection on the concave and convex sides of a
spoon looks different?
How mirages are formed?
Why does light from a red laser passes more easily though
red cellophane than green cellophane?
Why does clothing of certain colors appear different in
artificial light and in sunlight?

rainbows, and supernumerary bows and how are they

S11/12PS-IVh-66

45. Why is our reflection on the concave and convex sides of a
spoon looks different?
The shiny spoon is like a mini mirror, but with a curve in
it. The front of the spoon is a CONCAVE surface, and the
back is a CONVEX surface.

46. A mirage is an optical phenomenon that creates the
illusion of water and results from the refraction
(bending) of light through a non-uniform medium.
Mirages are most commonly observed on sunny days when
driving down a roadway.
How mirages are formed?

47. Green cellophane will only allow green light to pass through it.
The cellophane absorbs other colors of light. For example, green light
will not pass through red cellophane. The green light is absorbed by
the red cellophane. However, green light will pass through green
cellophane. As a general rule each color filter (e.g. glass or cellophane)
will only allow light of its own color to pass through.
Why does light from a red laser passes more easily though
red cellophane than green cellophane?

48. A halo is a ring of light surrounding the sun or moon. Most halos
appear as bright white rings but in some instances, the dispersion of
light as it passes through ice crystals found in upper level cirrus
clouds can cause a halo to have color.
What are haloes, sundogs, primary rainbows, secondary rainbows, and
supernumerary bows and how are they formed?

49. Sundogs, also known as mock suns or "parhelia", are a pair of
brightly colored spots, one on either side of the sun.
What are haloes, sundogs, primary rainbows, secondary rainbows, and
supernumerary bows and how are they formed?

50. What are haloes, sundogs, primary rainbows, secondary rainbows, and
supernumerary bows and how are they formed?

51. Rainbows result from refraction of sunlight in falling water droplets
plus reflection of the light from the back of the droplet.
What are haloes, sundogs, primary rainbows, secondary rainbows, and
supernumerary bows and how are they formed?

52. As the droplets get smaller, red weakens. In fine mist, all colors
except violet may disappear.
What are haloes, sundogs, primary rainbows, secondary rainbows, and
supernumerary bows and how are they formed?

53. The secondary rainbow is about 10° further out from the antisolar
point than the primary bow, is about twice as wide, and has its colors
reversed.
What are haloes, sundogs, primary rainbows, secondary rainbows, and
supernumerary bows and how are they formed?

54. Why clouds are usually white and rainclouds dark?
Rain clouds scatters more sunlight because they have
bigger water droplets. This means that less light from
the Sun reaches the bottom of the cloud, giving a gray
appearance.

55. Why the sky is blue and sunsets are reddish?

56. Why the sky is blue and sunsets are reddish?
When incoming sunlight encounters a heavy concentration of
particles in the atmosphere, the shorter wavelengths of light (violet
and blue) are scattered away, resulting in a red sunset. Red sunsets
are often observed from a beach because of the high concentration
of salt particles suspended in the air over the oceans. These particles
effectively scatter shorter wavelengths of light, producing red sunsets.

57. FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT

58. 1. The blue color of the sky is due to:
A. selective scattering of visible light by air
molecules.
B. the filtering effect of water vapor in the
earth's atmosphere.
C. reflection of sunlight off the earth's
oceans.
D. transmission of visible light through the
ozone layer in the earth's
stratosphere.

59. 2. Blue skies occur during the day due
to:
A. Diffraction
B. Mie scattering
C. Rayleigh scattering
D. Tyndall Effect

60. 3. The following correctly explains light passing
through a cellophane except:
A. As white light passes through red cellophane, the
cellophane absorbs all colors except red.
B. Green light can’t easily pass through green
cellophane because it shows the same color.
C. A red light passing through red cellophane will
simply go through since they have the same color.
D. Red light can’t easily pass through green
cellophane since the cellophane absorbs the red
light.

61. 4. This side of the spoon gives you an
inverted reflected image.
A. Concave
B. Convex
C. Mirage
D. Halo

62. 5. What causes a mirage?
A. scattering of light by air molecules.
B. the bending of light by air of different
