Rays and the Path of Light Waves
• A Ray of Light Because light waves travel in
straight lines, you can use an arrow called a ray to
show the path and the direction of a light wave.
• Rays and Reflected and Refracted Light Rays
help to show the path of a light wave after it bounces
or bends.

Mirrors and Reflection of Light
• Plane Mirrors A plane mirror is a mirror that has
a flat surface.
•The reflection of an object in a plane mirror is right
side up and the same size as the object, but
reversed left to right.
• Plane mirrors form virtual images. A virtual image
is an image through which light does not travel

• Concave Mirrors A concave mirror is a mirror
that is curved inward.
• The image formed by a concave mirror depends on
the optical axis, focal point, and focal length of the
mirror.

ray diagram to determine if a concave mirror will
form a virtual image like a plane mirror, or a real
image.

passes.

by refracting, or bending, light. Two kinds of lenses
are convex and concave.

How You Detect Light
• Your eye gathers visible light to form the images that
you see.
• The thickness of the lens of the eye changes so that
objects at different distances can be seen in focus.
The light that forms a real image on the retina is
detected by receptors called rods and cones.
• The next slide explains how your eyes work.

Common Vision Problems
• Nearsightedness happens when a person’s eye is
too long. A nearsighted person can see something
clearly only if it is nearby. Faraway objects look blurry.
• Farsightedness happens when a person’s eye is
too short. A farsighted person can see faraway objects
clearly. But things that are nearby look blurry.

Common Vision Problems, continued
• Color Deficiency is another name for colorblindness.
The majority of people who have color deficiency can’t
tell the difference between shades of red and green or
can’t tell red from green.
• Color deficiency happens when the cones in the
retina do not work properly. Color deficiency cannot be
corrected.

Surgical Eye Correction
• Surgical eye correction works by reshaping the
patient’s cornea by using a laser. Patients often gain
perfect or nearly perfect vision after surgery.
• Risks of Surgical Eye Correction Some patients
report glares, double vision, or trouble seeing at night.
People under 20 years old should not have surgical
eye correction because their vision is still changing.

Optical Instruments
• Optical instruments are devices that use mirrors
and lenses to help people make observations.
• Cameras A camera is used to record images. All
cameras have a lens, shutter, and an aperture.
• A 35 mm camera records images on film. A digital
camera uses light sensors to record images and to
send electric signals to a computer.

Lasers and Laser Light
• A laser is a device that produces intense light of only
one wavelength and color.
•How Lasers Produce Light The word laser stands
for light amplification by stimulated emission of
radiation. Amplification is the increase in the brightness
of the light. Radiation is energy transferred as
electromagnetic waves.

• Uses for Lasers Lasers are used to make
holograms. A hologram is a piece of film that
produces a three-dimensional image of an object.
• Lasers have many other applications. They are used
to cut materials such as metal and cloth. Doctors
sometimes use lasers for surgery. CD players use
lasers to read CDs.

Optical Fibers
• An optical fiber is a thin, glass wire that transmits
light over long distances.
•Optical fibers are used to transmit information
through telephone cables and network computers.

on Earth were used.
• The Global Positioning System The GPS is a
network of 27 satellites that orbit Earth. A GPS
receiver receives signals from at least four satellites
to find its exact location.
