Rainbow 🌈 mind map Properties of Light
Rectilinear propagation of light - Light travels in straight line
pinhole camera based on this principle |
Speed of light and it's medium |
Reflection of light-The phenomenon of returning of light in the same medium is called Reflection of light.
It is the reflection helping us to see things around us. The images we see in the mirror is just the ReflectionReflection of light |
Reflection by curved mirror |
Refraction of light - The bending of light when it passes from one medium to another this property of light it is used in number of devices like microscope magnifying lens etc.
Total internal Reflection- When light travels from denser medium to rarer medium beyond certain
Mirage |
dispersion of light- the property of light where the white light splits into its constitutes seven colours is
Dispersion can be observed by prism. Rainbow natural phenomenon is the best example of
scattering of light – Light rays get deviated from its straight path on striking dust or gas molecules,
Some effects are:
●Sun appears red in the morning but white at noon.
● Red colour used as danger signal
