What to Focus On

  • Natural sources include the Sun, stars, and fireflies.
  • Artificial sources include bulbs, candles, and torches.
  • The Moon does not produce its own light; it reflects sunlight.

  • Luminous objects produce their own light.
  • Non-luminous objects reflect light from other sources.
  • We see non-luminous objects due to reflected light.

  • Transparent: allows full light (e.g., glass).
  • Translucent: allows partial light (e.g., butter paper).
  • Opaque: blocks all light (e.g., wooden board).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Light can bend around corners, so it doesn’t always travel in straight lines.

The image in a pinhole camera is inverted because the hole flips it upside down.

Bigger pinhole gives a brighter and clearer image in a pinhole camera.

Memory Tips

Light travels in straight lines (rectilinear propagation)

Luminous vs Non-luminous bodies

Transparent, Translucent, Opaque

Pinhole camera forms inverted image
