What is light?
It is a form of energy emitted by the sun
It is a form of energy emitted by a light bulb.
c) It is a source of energy emitted by a luminous body
2.- Bodies that emit their own light are called luminous bodies. Examples of bodies
they are luminous:
a) The Sun, a lit lightbulb, and the stars.
The moon, the sun, and the stars.
c) The Sun, a mirror, and the fireflies
3.- When the Sun or another luminous body illuminates an object, we can see it.
these bodies that are illuminated by a luminous body are called:
artificial light
b) natural light
illuminated body
4.- Examples of illuminated bodies are
a) The table, your notebooks, your pencils, and your backpack.
b) The sun, a lit light bulb, and the stars.
c) The fireflies, a candle, a match.
5.- The Moon is a satellite of the Earth that does not have its own light. It shines because of the
The sun illuminates it, therefore, the Moon is:
a luminous body
a light source
c) A lit body
6.- They are made by humans and emit light. For example, when you turn on
a light bulb, a candle, a match or fluorescent tubes.
a) Sources of artificial light
b) Natural light source
luminous source
7.- They are those that emit their own light and are found in nature. For example,
the Sun, the stars, and some insects like fireflies.
a) Sources of artificial light
b) Source of natural light
c) Light source
8.- Observe the following experiment, Light passes through the glass of water forming a
straight. This experiment can demonstrate that:
Light travels at high speed.
b) Light travels in a straight line
c) Light propagates in all directions
9.- These children put a flashlight inside a box full of holes, it could be
observe that all the holes light up, this shows that Light:
Light travels at great speed
b) Light travels in a straight line
c) Light propagates in all directions
10.- When we turn on a light bulb in a room, it immediately reaches everyone
corners at once, this explains that:
Light travels at great speed.
Light travels in a straight line
Light propagates in all directions
11.- When an opaque body obstructs the passage of light, a zone is created.
darkness, which is referred to as:
Shadow
b) Reflection
c) Refraction
12.- It is the change of direction that light experiences when passing from one material medium to another.
Dispersion
b) Reflection
c) Refraction
13.- It is the change of direction that light experiences when it collides with an object and
bounces.
Dispersion b) Reflection c) Refraction
14.- Observe the following image, indicate what phenomenon occurs:
a) Refraction of light
b) Reflection of light
c) Dispersion of light
15. When light enters the water, in order to reflect on the pencil, it bends and exits the glass.
with an angle different from the one reflected in the part of the pencil that is out of the water. By
for this reason, we see the pencil as if it were bent.
This phenomenon is called:
a) Refraction of light
b) Reflection of light
c) Dispersion of light
II.- Match the concepts with the corresponding definition:
They are those through which we cannot see. The Opaque bodies
light does not pass through them.
They are those through which we cannot see with Translucent bodies
clarity, because light cannot pass through them
completely.
Those are the ones that allow us to see clearly to Transparent bodies
through them, because the light passes through them
completely.
III.-Classify the following images into artificial light sources and light sources
artificial.
IV.- What phenomenon of light explains the following images:
