A source of light makes light. The _________ andother stars, fires, torches and lamps all maketheir own light and so are examples of sourcesof light.
Some animals, such as _________ and _________,are light sources. They make their own light toattract ________.
A _______ is not a source of light. It doesn't make
its own light, it just reflects light.The ________ is not a source of light. It reflects
light from the Sun. Objects which produce light are called

Transparent materials let light pass through them in straight lines, so thatyou can see clearly through them. _________ is an example of atransparent material.
Translucent materials let some light through, but they scatter the light inall directions, so that you cannot see clearly through them.
________________ is an example of a translucent material.
Opaque materials do not let any light pass through them. They block thelight. _________ is an example of an opaque material.

A shadow is made when an object blocks light. The shadowappears on the side of the object furthest from the _______source.
The object must be __________ or ___________ to make a shadow. Atransparent object will not make any shadow, as light will passstraight through it.
Opaque objects make _________ shadows. Translucent objectsmake faint shadows.
If an object is moved closer to the light source, the shadow gets____________.
If an object is moved further away from the light source, the
shadow gets ____________.

The Sun is a very bright natural light source. It seems to
move across the sky during the day. In fact it just lookslike it does that because the Earth is spinning. The Sun casts (makes) the __________ shadows at the
_________ and ______ of the day, when the Sun is _______in the sky.
The Sun casts the _________ shadows at midday, when theSun is __________ in the sky.
Early morning-the Sun is low in Mid day- the Sun is highin
sky and casts a long shadow sky and cast shortshadows

The visible spectrum White light can be split up using a
_______ to form a spectrum. Aprism is a block of glass with a
triangular cross-section. Thelight waves are refracted asthey enter and leave the prism.
The shorter the wavelength ofthe light, the more it isrefracted. As a result, red light isrefracted the ________ and violetlight is refracted the ________,causing the coloured light tospread out to form a spectrum.

The Steps Involved inThe Steps Involved in
Rainbow FormationRainbow Formation1. Light from Sun strikes raindrop
2. Some of the light is reflected
3. The rest of the light is refracted
4. Light splits into component colours5. Reflected at rear of raindrop (TIR)
6. Refracted again as it leaves raindrop
7. Colours are further dispersed

The birth of each rainbow begins with millions of tiny raindroplets which serves as a type of __________ of light. White light enters one individual rain droplet and exits as one
specific colour of the spectrum. If you only had a few raindroplets you would only see a few colours. This is typicallywhy rainbow appear after a rain storm.
Each rain droplet has a function in the formation of therainbow. Sunlight enters the rain droplet at a specific angleand the rain droplet separates the white light into manydifferent colours.
What color is refracted depends upon the critical angle,which is the angle the sunlight strikes the back of the raindroplet.
Red light bends the _________, exiting the rain droplet at a______degree angle, while__________bends the _________,exiting the rain droplet at a______degree angle.
All of the other colours of the rainbow exit the rain droplets atsome angle between 40 and 42 degrees, thus making upthe colours of the rainbow ROYGBIV, this order never
changes.
