Overview
Light is a form of energy that enables us to see objects around us. Without light, we cannot see anything. When light falls on an object, it reflects into our eyes, allowing us to see it. This chapter explores how light travels, how shadows are formed, and how devices like the pinhole camera work. W
Key Concepts
Light travels in straight lines
Light travels in straight lines. This is why we see shadows and inverted images in a pinhole camera. If light could bend, shadows would not form clear
A pinhole camera uses a tiny
A pinhole camera uses a tiny hole to allow light to pass through. It forms an inverted and real image because light travels in straight lines from the
When light is blocked by
When light is blocked by an opaque object, a shadow is formed. The darkest part is the umbra (no light reaches), and the lighter part around it is the
A lunar eclipse happens when
A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow on the Moon. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon comes
