July 15-19, 2019 Light By the end of the lesson students will be abe to:
Reflection of Light Understand the terms used for describing
reflection : normal, angle of incidence, angle of Differentiate types of reflection
reflection Justify law of reflection
State that, for reflection, the angle of incidence
is equal to the angle of reflection
Apply the principle of reflection to construct
ray diagrams and solve problems
July 22-26, 2019 Light By the end of the lesson students will be abe to: Understand the terms used for
Refraction of Light Understand the terms used for refraction: refraction
normal, angle of incidence, angle of refraction sin 𝑖
Justify the relationship sin 𝑟 =
sin 𝑖
Recall the relationship = constant, and use constant
sin 𝑟
it to solve problems Use refractive index of an optical
Define refractive index of a medium in terms of medium
ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to that in
the medium
July 29-02, 2019 Light By the end of the lesson students will be abe to: Explain the terms critical angle and
Total Internal Reflection Explain the terms critical angle and total total internal reflection
internal reflection Apply total internal reflection
Identify the main ideas in total internal Explain the advantages of the use
reflection and apply them to the use of optical of optical fibres
fibres
State the advantages of the use of optical fibres
