Dispersion and Scattering of Light1

This document discusses a lesson on the phenomena of light, specifically dispersion and scattering. It begins with an introductory activity to introduce these concepts. Students are then divided into groups to conduct hands-on experiments demonstrating either dispersion or scattering. The key concepts are explained, such as how dispersion causes rainbows and how scattering makes the sky appear blue. Real-world applications are discussed before the lesson concludes with a recap and assignment.

GROUP ACTIVITY
• In this activity, you will be divided into 4
groups.
• Each group will be observing either
dispersion or scattering of light, depending
on what is assigned to them.
WORKING AREA

GROUP 3 GROUP 4

GROUP 1 GROUP 2

TEACHER’S TABLE
REMINDERS
• Proceed to your working area silently.
• Groupmates must respect one another and
members of other groups as well.
• Do not disturb other groups.
• Students must follow the directions correctly and
carefully.
• The students may call the teacher’s attention if
they have any queries.
CAUTION
This experiment uses objects that may cause harm
if improperly handled.
• Be careful when using sharp objects.
• Be careful when handling fragile objects.
• Avoid playfighting while conducting the
experiment.
• Stay focused and be aware of your
surroundings.
RUBRICS

GROUP ACTIVITY
• Each group will be given 15 minutes to work
on their assigned activity.
• After 15 minutes has passed, the students
will report their findings in front of the class.

• Each group will be given 3


minutes to report their
findings.
GUIDE QUESTIONS FOR REPORT
For dispersion:
• What was the experiment about? What did
you do in your experiments?
• What is Dispersion of light?
• How are rainbows formed
through dispersion of
light?
GUIDE QUESTIONS FOR REPORT
For scattering:
• What was the experiment about? What did
you do in your experiments?
• What is Scattering of light?
• How does the scattering
of light explain why the
sky is blue/red?
DISPERSION
The phenomenon of splitting white light into its 7
component colors.
The band of colors produced when white light is
split is called a spectrum.
DISPERSION
HOW DOES DISPERSION HAPPEN?
When light passes through a
prism, it is slowed down
because it changes medium
(air to glass).

This change in speed causes


light to bend or refract.
HOW DOES DISPERSION HAPPEN?
The greater the
wavelength the heavier
the wave. The heavier the
wave the more energy
needed to move the wave
in a different direction.
As a result, the greater
the wavelength, less
refraction.
RAINBOWS & DISPERSION
Rainbows are formed
when sunlight is
dispersed by tiny water
droplets present in the
atmosphere.
The water droplets act
like small prisms which
refracts and disperses
light.

SCATTERING
Scattering is the absorption of light by tiny particles
of a medium and its reemission in a particular
direction.
SCATTERING IN OUR EVERYDAY LIVES
Sunbeams are created
due to a type of
scattering called TYNDAL
SCATTERING.

This happenes when the


suspended particles are
almost the same size as
the wavelength of light.
COLOR OF THE SKY
The color of the sky is
due to a type of
scattering called
RAYLEIGH SCATTERING.
This happened when
the suspended particles
are much smaller the
wavelength of light.
COLOR OF THE SKY
RAYLEIGH LAW OF
SCATTERING
Intensity of scattered
light is inversely
proportional to the
fourth power of a wave.

When wavelength is longer,


1
less scattering occurs.

COLOR OF THE SKY

Among the seven


colors of sunlight,
which one is scattered
the most?

BLUE INDIGO
VIOLET
COLOR OF THE SKY
When the sun is
directly above
us, blue light
scatters more
and is absorbed
by our eyes,
thus we see a
blue sky.
COLOR OF THE SKY

At sunset, light
from the sun
travels farther,
scattering ALL
BLUE LIGHT,
leaving only red
and orange light.
RECAP

What have you


learned today?
RECAP

“How will you apply your knowledge about the


dispersion and scattering of light in your
everyday lives?”
REAL LIFE APPLICATION
DISPERSION
AND
SCATTERING
CAN BE USED
IN INTERIOR
DESIGN.
REAL LIFE APPLICATION

It can also be
used in
films/plays &
photography
to create
added effects
and emotions.
Knowledge check!
In a 1/4th sheet of paper,

(1) differentiate dispersion from scattering;


and;
(2)Relate either dispersion or scattering to
how rainbows are formed or why the sky is
blue or red at different times of the day.
ASSIGNMENT
Search what light phenomena is responsible
for the following:

A) The formation of crepuscular rays


B) Blurry edges of shadows at longer
distances.
THANK YOU FOR
LISTENING!
COLOR OF THE SKY
Sun emits more blue light
than violet and indigo;
thus, sky appears blue.
