    PHYSICS HACK
    This document summarizes key concepts about light, shadows, reflections, and optical devices. It explains that luminous objects emit light, and light helps us see other objects. It describes transparent, opaque, and translucent objects based on how much light they allow to pass through. Shadows are formed when an opaque object blocks light, and pinhole cameras form inverted images using a pinhole and screen. Mirrors reflect light and allow us to see reflections. Periscopes and kaleidoscopes use multiple mirrors to respectively allow seeing around obstacles and create symmetrical patterns.

    CHAPTER -11

    LIGHT, SHADOWS AND


    REFLECTIONS

    CLASS :- VI
    SUBJECT :- SCIENCE
    1) Luminous objects :-
    Luminous objects are objects which give out or emit light
    of their own. Eg:- sun, a lamp, a candle, a torch, an electric
    light, fire fly etc.
    2) Light helps us to see objects :-
    When light from a luminous object like the sun falls on
    objects and then travels towards our eyes, then we see the
    objects.
    3) Transparent, opaque and translucent objects :-
    a) Transparent objects :- are objects through which we can
    see clearly because it allows most of the light to pass
    through it.
    Eg:- clear glass, clear water, some plastics, air etc.
    b) Opaque objects :- are objects through which we cannot
    see at all because it does not allow any light to pass
    through it.
    Eg :- wood, rubber, some plastics, metals like iron,
    aluminium, copper etc.
    c) Translucent objects :- are objects through which we can
    see but not clearly because it allows some light to pass
    through it.
    Eg:- ground glass, tracing paper, some plastics, muddy
    water etc.
    4) Shadows :-
    A shadow is formed when an opaque object is placed in
    the path of light. A shadow of an object can be seen only
    on a screen. The ground, walls of buildings etc. act as a
    screen for shadows.
    Sometimes the shadow of an object gives us information
    about the shape of the object.
    Sometimes the shadow of an object does not give us
    any information about the shape of the object.
    5) Pinhole camera :-
    A pinhole camera is a device which helps us to see
    images of objects.
    It has a box with a pinhole at one side and a screen at the
    other side. The light from the object passes through the
    pinhole and forms an inverted image of the object on the
    screen.
    6) Pinhole image of the sun :-
    We can see a pinhole image of the sun by using a large
    sheet of cardboard having a pinhole in the middle. Hold the
    cardboard in sunlight and let its shadow fall on a clear
    surface. A small circular image of the sun is seen in the
    middle of the image of the cardboard.
    This pinhole camera can be used to see the image of the
    sun during solar eclipse.
    We should never see the sun directly because it can
    cause damage to our eyes.
    7) Light travels in straight line :-
    Activity :- To show that light travels in straight line :-
    Light a candle and fix it on a table. Take a piece of straight
    pipe or a rubber tube. Look at the candle through the pipe.
    You can see the candle flame. If the pipe is bent, you cannot
    see the candle flame. This shows that light travels in a
    straight line.
    8) Mirrors and reflections :-
    a) Mirrors :- are objects use to see reflections of objects.
    We can see reflections of our face and other objects in a
    mirror.

    b) Reflection of light :- When light falls on a mirror the


    direction of light changes. This is called reflection of light.
    9) Periscope :-
    A periscope is a device which helps us to see objects
    which are not in direct line of sight.
    A periscope can be made by placing two plane mirrors
    parallel to each other inside a ‘Z’ shaped box.
    10) Kaleidoscope :-
    A kaleidoscope is a device used to see several images
    of objects by reflections using three or more mirrors. We
    can see beautiful patterns and designs in a kaleidoscope.
