81 UNIT 2 Force, Motion, and Energy (The electric and magnetic phenomena around us)
82 UNIT 2: FORCE, MOTION, AND ENERGY (The electric and magnetic phenomena around us) Overview The moving iron core within the Earth acts like a giant bar magnet. It produces a weak geomagnetic field that surrounds and partially protects us from solar radiations. In like manner, the moving charges within the Sun generate an eruption of radiations. This produces a solar magnetic field that spreads throughout the solar system and beyond. Moreover, a solar wind of charged particles constantly interacts with the Earth’s changing geomagnetic field. In Grade 8 Science, you learned some characteristics of heat, visible light, and electricity whereas in Grade 9 Science, you were introduced to the forms and sources of energy. You also learned how electrical energy is generated, transmitted, and distributed. Using the principles of forces, motion and energy, Unit 2 of Grade 10 Science which is intended for the second quarter, supports investigations on the electric, magnetic and electromagnetic phenomena all around us. Eventually, this unit will help you to understand the different electromagnetic waves commonly known as the EM spectrum with a final emphasis on the visible light. In Module 1, you will be reacquainted with basic magnetism and its relationship with electricity by exploring electric and magnetic fields surrounding devices made up of magnets and current-carrying conductors. Moreover, a detailed study of the characteristics of the EM spectrum in Module 2 will help you appreciate the relevant applications and effects of some of the EM waves to us and our environment. Lastly in Module 3, you will study the nature of light as it interacts with matter through reflection and refraction. There will be interesting activities on image formations using different mirrors and lenses. The chief goal of the activities in these modules is to acquaint you with the particular phenomenon in study, enable you to observe relationships between variables, help you to develop and communicate your tentative explanations of the phenomena or models, and lead you to further inquiry and deeper understanding.
83 ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM I. Introduction In this module, you will map two invisible force fields - the electric and the magnetic fields. Within each field, forces may be exerted on matter causing it to interact with another matter because of electricity and magnetism working as two aspects of a single electromagnetic force. You will further explore, demonstrate and explain the idea that a changing electric field produces magnetism, and a changing magnetic field produces electric current in the light of technological applications that are helpful to man. At the end of this module, you are expected to answer the following key questions below and use the learning competencies as study guide: II. Learning Competencies/Objectives 1.

(Audio-Visual Productions: I came, I saw, I conquered.) People readily adopt emerging technologies. The use of audiovisual (AV) works be it in film productions, in business displays, or perhaps in education innovations became a trend and it is here to stay. Examples abound like our growing love for the high quality audiovisual components we listen to and watch or the endeavor of school stakeholders to provide projection technology in every classroom. The rise of it all AV production, recording, and storing technology and industries were made possible because of the discovery of the link between electricity and magnetism. How does one begin to understand this partnership? For a start, consider doing the activity regarding audio recording devices. Activity 1 For the Record… (Adapted from the EMI Teaching Sequence by Jenaro Guisasola and Kristina Zuza) Objectives: • Identify the basic recording equipment of a digital radio studio. • Classify whether devices use electricity and/or magnetism when used in recording audio. • Start a literature search on electromagnetic induction’s role in recording technology.
88 Materials: • pictures of the radio studio control and audio room OR • video clip on a radio station tour, video player, screen, and accessories • pen and activity sheet/science notebook Procedure: PART A. Virtual Tour of a Radio Broadcasting Studio 1. Read the scenario and study the video clip or pictures selected by your teacher, similar to what is shown in Figures 1 to 3. Figure 1. A control room of a local radio broadcast studio commonly known as the announcer’s booth. (Used with permission from the RPN-DXKO Radio and Television Broadcast Station in Cagayan de Oro City.) 2. On your science activity notebook, make a table, similar to Table 1. List all the equipment that you can identify in the photo shown in Figure 1. Indicate with a check mark whether the equipment/device needs electricity and/or magnetism to operate. Activity Scenario: During non-class hours, you frequently meet your friends playing and making music together. One afternoon you decided to go to your local radio station to ask what equipment and software is needed to start recording at home. At the broadcast studio, with the radio technician out, the staff allowed you to take pictures inside the control room and live audio room, similar to what is shown in Figures 1 to 3.
89 Table 1. Radio Broadcast Studio Equipment (Control Room/Announcer’s Booth) Equipment/Device Needs Electricity Needs Magnetism Guide Questions: Q1. How many of the devices you identified inside the control room need electricity to operate? Q2. How many of the devices you identified inside the control room need magnetism to operate? 3. On your science activity notebook, make another table similar to Table 2. List also all the equipment that you can identify in the pictures shown in Figures 2 and 3. Indicate with a check mark whether the equipment/device needs electricity and/or magnetism to operate. Figure 2. A live audio room, commonly known as the newsroom, which is usually separated from the control room via glass partitions.
90 Figure 3. Back portion of a local newsroom Table 2. Radio Broadcast Studio Equipment (Live Audio Room/Newsroom) Equipment/Device Needs Electricity Needs Magnetism Guide Questions: Q3. How many of the devices you identified inside the live audio room need electricity to operate? Q4. How many of the devices you identified inside the live audio room need magnetism to operate? Q5. What other devices not shown in the photo may be used inside the live audio room? More Reading Support on Recording Technology: What devices did recording technicians use in the past to record sound? KEY CONCEPTS • A typical broadcast studio consists of an audio console, microphones, computers, studio monitors, and disc players. • The audio console converts analog audio (voice via microphone) and phone calls to a digital output. It also allows for the mixing of all sound sources from CDs, computers, and other digital sources before being sent to the transmitter. Aslider controls the volume of each sound source. • The live audio and control rooms are connected by cables for the exchange of audio and digital data signal during recording, mixing, and even editing of all audio-video elements digitally stored on hard drives.
91 PART B. My Own Home Recording Studio! For Life… 1. You could be an aspiring singer, a music artist, a student who needs to record audio presentations or simply one planning to have a start-up home recording studio. Use Table 3 and extend your understanding of the recording industry by matching the devices in Column B and their respective functions in Column C with the items in Column A. Write the letter and number for coding your answer. Table 3. A Home Recording Studio Start-Up Equipment A Coded Answer B C Picture Device Name Function 1. 1 ___ ___ A.headphone I. Used for playing some digital instruments, recording, adding effects, and mixing different sources of sound signals 2. 2 ___ ___ B. studio monitor II.

Commonly known as speakers but these give a sound close enough to the real sound input
92 Extension Activity: Learn more about the basic audio-video recording devices and make a graphic organizer on your science notebook. What parts inside these devices use electricity and magnetism to function as such? Guide Question: Q6. Which devices on Table 3 are powered, entirely or partially, by electromagnetic induction (the phenomenon of a changing magnetic or electric field’s effect on electricity or magnetism)? More Reading Support on Recording Technology: In the development of the recording and data storage technology, what questions might engineers ask? Think of some questions by now about recording technology. Can handy mobile phones or digital cameras serve as audio-visual recorder and producer? How do these devices apply electromagnetic induction? To understand electromagnetic induction and its applications especially on electric motors and generators, the next set of activities will help you revisit concepts about magnets and forces associated with it, checking polarities, and analyzing magnetic fields. KEY CONCEPTS • Many of the recording technology are founded entirely or partially on the relationship between electricity and magnetism known as electromagnetic induction. • Devices that detect and convert audio inputs to electric outputs or vice versa are called transducers. Most transducers like microphones and speakers use the “generator effect” characterized by the production of forces due to a changing electric signal within a magnetic field or a changing field near a current-carrying conductor.
93 SOME BASIC PRINCIPLES OF MAGNETISM Activity 2 Test Mag...1, 2! Testing for Evidence of Magnetism Objectives: • Identify the forces (attraction/repulsion) between: a. two magets, and b. a magnet and magnetic/nonmagnetic materials. • Distinguish a magnet (permanent or temporary) from a non - magnetic object. Materials: • pair of 3”- 6” bar magnets • 6-10 objects made of different materials from inside the room • science notebook and pen Safety Precautions: • Handle magnets with care so as not to drop those. These might break, chip off, and weaken upon impact. • Keep magnets away from computer units/screens, memory storage drives and disks, magnetic tapes, mechanical watches, and the like. Procedure: 1. Use a bar magnet and explore the possible effect/s it can have on the other magnet when made to interact. On your science notebook, make a table similar to Table 4 and record the observed force effect/s. Answer also the guide questions. Table 4. Interaction between two permanent bar magnets What I did to the pair of magnets to cause interaction… Observed effect/s (attracted or repeled) 2. This time, use only one bar magnet and explore its possible effect/s on six to ten different objects found inside the classroom. Record the observed effect/s on a table similar to Table 5. (Exclude record on objects with no observed interaction with the magnet.)
94 Table 5. Interaction of a bar magnet with other objects Objects that interacted with the magnet… Observed effect/s (attracted or repeled) Guide Questions: Q7. What conditions with observable effects make magnets interact with another magnet? Q8. In general, what conditions with observable effects make magnets interact with non-magnet materials? Q9. What type/s of force can a magnet exert on another magnet? Q10. What type/s of force can a magnet exert on non-magnet objects? Q11. How will you distinguish magnets from non-magnetized magnetic materials? Extension Question: What are the magnetic materials found in the audio and video recording tapes? KEY CONCEPTS • Magnets exert either a force of repulsion or attraction. • If a force of attraction only is possible between an object and a magnet, then the object interacting with the magnet contains a ferromagnetic substance and is considered naturally magnetic. • If a force of repulsion is also possible between an object and a magnet, then the object interacting with the magnet may also be a permanent magnet or a temporarily magnetized ferromagnetic material.
95 Activity 3 Induced Magnetism Objectives: • Induce magnetism in a magnetic material. • Infer the polarity of the magnetized object. Materials: • bar magnet • four 1-inch iron nails, screws, or paper clips • science notebook and pen Safety Precaution: • Handle the magnet with care so as not to drop it. It could break, chip off and weaken upon impact. Procedure: 1. Use the bar magnet and nails to find answers to the questions below. Record your answers on your science notebook. Use diagrams to support your answers. Guide Questions: Q12. What happens if you bring two iron nails close to (or touching) each other? Q13. If you bring a bar magnet close to (or touching) the first iron nail, can the first iron nail attract and lift a second nail? A third one? Q14. What happens if vary/change the distance between the magnet and the nail/s? Q15. If the north pole of the bar magnet suspends the first nail by attraction, what is then the nails’s polarity of induced magnetism in the indicated regions? Why? Figure 4. Magnetic Induction on Hanging Screws 2. Choose the correct term from the enclosed choices that should go into the blank spaces on the “Sum it Up Challenge!”
96 Sum it Up Challenge! A quicker way to know the polarity of a permanent or induced magnet is by the use of a magnetic compass which you will be using in the next set of activities. Activity 4 Detecting and Creating Magnetism Objectives: • Identify the polarities and strengths of a bar magnet and magnetized objects using a compass. • Demonstrate magnetization by stroking. Materials: • at least 2 small magnetic compasses • one 3-inch iron nail • masking tape or cork stopper • paper or any small scooping device • cellular phone/any gadget with camera • strong bar magnet • narrow test tube (5/8” wide) or clear straw (5/8” wide) • science notebook and pen • iron filings Figure 5. Materials for Detecting and Creating Magnetism
97 Safety Precautions: • Use the magnet, compass, test tube, and the gadget with camera with care so as not to drop any of these. • Make sure that iron filings remain sealed inside the test tube or the transparent straw (cool pearl taped on both ends). Avoid the iron filings from sticking directly to the magnet. Procedure: PART A. North meets south 1. Checking Polarity. Place one magnetic compass on a horizontal surface. Then, move a bar magnet around and above it exploring the strength and polarities of the magnet. If a cellular phone or any gadget with built in camera is available, take pictures of the magnetic compass needle orientations for different locations around the bar magnet. Draw the compass needle directions and write your observations regarding the magnetic field strength on your science notebook and answer the guide questions. Guide Questions: Q16. What happens when you randomly move the bar magnet roundabout and above the compass one foot or farther? Nearer than a foot? Q17. Compass needles are tiny magnets that are free to indicate the north and south poles of a magnet? What do you need to do to know the magnet’s polarities? Q18. What does the compass needles indicate about the iron nail shown below in Figure 6? Figure 6. Use of Compass Needles for Checking the Magnetism PART B. By the touch of a magnet 1. Magnetization by stroking. Pour iron filings on a sheet of paper and check whether the filings are still non-magnetized. If magnetized, stir or move the iron filings gently on the paper. 2. Fill carefully the narrow test tube up to a quarter with these iron filings. Cover with masking tape or cork.
98 3. Hold the closed test tube horizontally. Shake or roll gently with your fingers to level out the iron filings inside. Figure 7a. Leveling the Iron Filings inside the Test Tube 4. Then when levelled, touch with the north-pole end of the permanent magnet the test tube’s curved end. Move the magnet along the test tube from this end to the covered end. Lift the magnet off the test tube and repeat with ten or more strokes. On your science notebook, observe and record what happens inside the tube. 5. Gently lay the test tube on a table and bring compasses near both ends of the test tube as shown in Figure 7.b below. Observe and record what happens. Figure 7b. Testing Induced Magnetism on the Iron Filings 6. Carefully shake the test tube as shown in Figure 7.c, without moving the compasses. Test for the presence of magnetism again. Record your observations. Figure 7c. Shaking the Iron Filings inside the Test Tube Guide Questions: Q19. In step no. 4 are the iron filings in the test tube magnetized? If yes, which end is the north and which is the south? If no, what else can be done to magnetize it? Try and record your idea. Q20. What happened to the iron filings magnetism after several shakes?
99 Extension Activity: Can you magnetize also an iron nail by stroking? Do a quick activity to know the answer for yourself. Extension Question: What will happen to a magnet if it is dropped too often? ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS A Look Back in History: In 1819, Hans Christian Oersted (ˈƏr-stəd), a professor in the University of Copenhagen, discovered during a class demonstration that a current carrying wire caused a nearby magnetized compass needle to deflect. This observation fired up tremendous research on electromagnetism. As a result, the effect on the motion of conductors placed within a magnetic field (such as in the operation of electric motors) was also experimented much and paved the way for practical electricity. Twelve years after this discovery, Michael Faraday (ˈFer-ə-dā) conducted his famous induction ring experiment showing that current can be produced by sources of changing magnetic fields. This is the key principle to practical generation of electricity. The next activities should help you demonstrate and explain the operation of electric motors and electric generators that basically work because of the existing relationship between magnetism and electricity. KEY CONCEPTS • Materials which are attracted by a magnet are known as magnetic materials. Iron, cobalt, nickel and many alloys of these metals like steel and alnico are magnetic. • Magnetic materials can be used to make permanent or temporary magnets unlike the non-magnetic materials which cannot. • Stroking is one way of magnetization.
100 Activity 5 Oh Magnets, Electromagnet… May the forces be in your field! Objectives: • Explore the magnetic domains of a latch magnet. • Observe and draw magnetic field patterns surrounding different magnets and magnet combinations. • Observe and draw magnetic field patterns surrounding a simple electromagnet and a current carrying coil of wire. Materials: • an improvised magnetic board • white bond paper • a pair of latch/refrigerator magnets • small magnetic compasses • a pair of bar magnets • one 3-inch iron nail • 1 neodymium magnet • science notebook and pen • 1 U-shaped magnet • 2-m copper wire (AWG # 22) • 1 disk magnet • connectors with alligator clips • 1 knife switch • battery holders with 2 AA battery (Flat plastic bottle, water/Glycerin, iron filings/iron sand or Bargaja) Figure 8. Commercial latch magnets (commonly known as flexible sheet refrigerator magnets), and an improvised magnetic board which is made by filling completely a leak-free, flat container (preferably plastic) with water/mineral oil, and magnetic sand. Safety Precautions: • Use the magnets, compasses, and magnetic boards with care so as not to drop any of these. • The neodymium magnet is many times stronger than the ordinary disk magnet that can hold papers on refrigerator doors. Be careful not to get your fingers pinched between this kind of magnet and other magnetic material.

Sample latch magnets, commonly known as refrigerator magnets, and a magnetic board from the public science equipment package. Together, when used, will make the magnetic field surrounding the latch magnets visible. The iron filings suspended in the liquid inside the magnetic board align along the magnetic field lines. 2. Lay each latch magnet under the magnetic board. Tap gently the board until a clear pattern is formed by the iron filings. On your science notebook, draw the pattern made by the iron filings on a table, similar to Table 7. Note the orientations of the magnetic field pattern for each latch magnet. Label if needed. 3. Place one magnet on top of the other. Make sure that they are arranged perpendicularly with each other. Hold the magnet on top as shown in Table 6 below (first row). Slowly and gently pull the magnet (towards you) as shown. 4. Observe what happens. Record your observations on a table similar to Table 6.

How do you relate the flapping interactions of the latch magnets, at different orientations, to their magnetic domains? Ideas for Research: The hidden structure of a refrigerator magnet can serve as a model for how a scanning probe microscope (SPM) works. This tool has a super sharp tip that is only one atom thick, allowing nanoscientists to probe across a nanoscale surface. (A nanometer is a billionth of a meter.) What new recording materials did scientists probe, study, manipulate, and control using nanotechnology? PART B. Within the lines… 1.

110 Activity 8 Magnetic Field Around Current-carrying Conductors (Adapted from the DepEd-NSTIC Activity on Magnetic Fields and Electric Currents) Objectives: • Using a compass, explore the magnetic field around current-carrying conductors. • Use the compass to determine the direction of the magnetic field relative to the direction of current through: a) a straight current-carrying conductor; and b) a current-carrying coil. Materials: • 3 wooden blocks with holes • 1 button magnetic compass • 14 gauge insulated copper wire, 20-50 cm • 3 or 4 connecting wires • 4 AA dry cell holders (in series) • 1 fuse holder with fuse • science notebook and pen • 1 knife switch • 5 cm2 used rubber mat • cutter • 1.5 meter hook wire (#22, stranded) • tape • 3-cm or 4-cm diameter magnetic compass Safety Precautions: • Open the switch after observation to conserve energy. Batteries and wires may become hot if current flows for very long.
111 Experiment Setup A: Procedure: PART A. Magnetic Field around a Straight Conductor 1. Construct the circuit in Setup A as shown above. Make sure the switch is open at the start. The wire should pass vertically at least 10 cm below the wooden block. 2. On the wooden block, position the magnetic compass right next to the vertical wire in four equidistant locations relative to the north-south alignment. For all four locations, rotate the compass until its north axis aligns with the compass needle pointer. The compass shown in the setup is a sample first location. 3. Close the switch long enough for making observations. 4. Observe and draw the deflection (direction and rotation) of the compass needle’s north-pole. 5. Open the switch when you are done with your observations. 6. Move the compass to the next locations to map the magnetic field. Do steps 2 to 5 for each of the remaining chosen locations. 7. Draw a short arrow to indicate the compass needle’s direction and rotation in each of the four locations. 8. Reverse the polarity of your power supply and do steps 2 to 7.
112 Guide Questions: Q27. From a top-view perspective, in what direction does the north pole of the compass needle point to when the compass was positioned around the vertical current-carrying straight conductor? Q28. From a top-view perspective and with the current’s polarity reversed, in what direction does the north pole of the compass needle point to when the compass was positioned around the vertical current carrying straight conductor? PART B. Magnetic Field around a Coil of Conductor 1. Prepare a compass holder for the larger magnetic compass using a squared rubber mat similar to what is shown in Figure 10. Trace the perimeter of a 3-4 cm wide magnetic compass on a used rubber mat. Safely cut a hole on the mat that is big enough for the compass to fit into. Insert the compass into the hole with the north-south alignment parallel to any side. Figure 10. Coil of wire around a compass fitted into a used rubber mat 2. Strip the ends of a 1.5 meter long magnetic hook wire (#22 gauge and stranded) and wind this around the compass on its holder. For easier observations, loop the wire parallel along the north-south axis although the loops can also be oriented perpendicularly. Slowly rotate the rubber mat until the needle points north. 3. Connect the looped wire around the compass to a 3-volt power supply that is in series to the open knife switch and the fuse as shown in Experiment Setup B below.
113 Experiment Setup B: 4. Close the switch long enough for making observations. 5. Relative to the geographic north-south alignment, observe and draw the deflection (direction and rotation) of the compass needle’s north-pole. 6. Open the switch when you are done with your observations. 7. Reverse the polarity of your power supply and do steps 4 to 6. 8. Reduce to half the number of loops around the compass and cut the excess making sure the loops are centered round the compass. Repeat step 3 to 6. Guide Questions: Q29. With conventional current flowing counterclockwise, from a top- view perspective, in what direction does the north pole of the compass needle, at the center of the current-carrying coil of wire, point? Q30. With conventional current flowing clockwise, from a top-view perspective, in what direction does the north pole of the compass needle, at the center of the current-carrying coil of wire, point when the current’s polarity was reversed? Q31. How will you compare the magnitude of the compass needle deflections for the different number of loops in the current-carrying coil?
114 Q32. If you will straighten the shortened coil of wire, how will you compare the magnitude of the compass needle deflection at the center of the previous current-carrying coil, to the compass needle deflection near the just straightened current-carrying conductor? Why? 9. Extending Inquiry – A solenoid (a coil of wire in which the length is greater than the width) was made using a 3-meter long magnetic wire wound clockwise from left to right around the iron rod. Current was then made to flow through it using a circuit similar to what is shown to Figure 11 a. Q33. What would be the direction of the magnetic field around the current-carrying solenoid when the switch is closed? Q34. Using arrows, draw the magnetic compass needle directions at the indicated locations in Figure 11b. Then indicate which ends of the solenoid acts similar to the north and south poles of a bar magnet. Figure 11. Checking the Magnetic Field around a Current-carrying Solenoid FORCE ON A CURRENT-CARRYING WIRE IN A MAGNETIC FIELD A non-magnetic current-carrying wire within a strong magnetic field, like copper for instance, will experience a magnetic force as indicated by the wire’s movement relative to the magnetic field. This turning effect on a coil is used in ammeters and motors that use permanent magnets and electromagnets. Do the next activity and try to understand the interaction between the magnetic field of the permanent magnet and the magnetic field due to the current in the conductor.
115 Activity 9 Making Your Own Electric Motor Adapted from http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-a-Homopolar Objectives: • Build a simple electric motor. • Explain the operation of a simple electric motor. Materials: • 1 AA battery • 3 Neodymium magnets, 1/2” – 3/4” • pliers or long nose • AWG #14 – 18 solid and bare copper wire (~30 cm) • science notebook and pen Figure 12. Materials for making an electric motor. Safety Precautions: • The neodymium magnet is many times stronger than the ordinary disk magnet that can hold papers on refrigerator doors. Be careful not to get your fingers pinched between these magnets and other magnetic materials. • Wires can get hot when connected to the battery for a long time. Open the circuit once you are done with your observations. Procedure: 1. Assembly of the Electric Motor Model – Cut the length of copper wire into three pieces. With the use of the pliers, shape the three wires into a spiral, square, heart or any figure to your liking similar to what is shown in Figure 13.
116 http://ideas-inspire.com/simple-electric-motor/ Figure 13. A sample electric motor model using neodymium magnets. 2. Make a sample pile of the three neodymium magnets, the battery and the shaped copper wire. Make adjustments to the length and width of the shaped wire. See to it that there is a bare connection between the wire ends and the neodymium magnet and also between the pivot part (balancing point) of the wire and the positive terminal of the battery. Scrape or sand off the material insulating the wire at these indicated points. Disassemble the set up when making the needed shape adjustments and sanding of the copper wire. 3. Testing of Model – Carefully pile with the three neodymium magnets and the battery on a level surface. Mount the shaped wire, with its pivot part as a rotating point, over the positive terminal of the battery. Check that the bottom ends of the wire curl loosely around the magnets forming a closed circuit. You now have a simple DC electric motor model that we will simply call a DC motor model. Give the current-carrying shaped wire a gentle spin. 4. Observe and record what happens to the shaped wire. Warning! Disconnect the DC motor model immediately after making observations. 5. If your DC motor does not work, stretch your tolerance, abilities, and knowledge. Have fun making your motor model demonstrate the effect of an electromagnetic force on a conductor that is within a magnetic field. Guide Questions: Q35. What happens to the shaped wire once positioned over the battery’s positive terminal and with both wire ends curled loosely touching the magnets? 6. Extending Inquiry of Model – Tinker with your electric motor model and try to look for other ways to demonstrate the same effect by an electromagnetic force.
117 Q36. What other observations have you made regarding your electric motor model? Q37. What will happen if the number of neodymium magnets used in the model is reduced? Increased? Q38. What are the basic parts/elements of a simple electric motor? Q39. Based on the activity, how will you explain the operation of a simple electric motor? ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION Now the basic parts of a DC motor can also be assembled to operate as a DC generator. What would happen if instead of causing a current-carrying conductor to move within a magnetic field, the closed circuit conductor is mechanically moved within a magnetic field? The next activity will enable you to explore and appreciate the Earth’s magnetic field and its effect on a moving giant coil. Jump in for a simple yet electrifying experience! Activity 10 LET’S JUMP IN! (Adapted from cse.ssl.berkeley.edu/.../lessons/...electromagnetism/mag_electromag.pdf‎) Objectives: • Observe the deflection of a galvanometer needle when an electrical cord crosses the Earth’s magnetic field. • Measure and record the magnitude of the deflection of the galvanometer needle when the electrical cord is rotated: a) slowly; c) when aligned east to west; and b) quickly; d) when aligned north to south. • Explain the operation of a simple electric generator. Materials: • 10 to 20 meters flat wire (double wire, stranded) AWG #22 • two lead wires with alligator clip on at least one end • level field or ground (at least 6 meters x 6 meters) • micro-ammeter or galvanometer • pliers or long nose • one compass • science notebook and pen
118 Safety Precautions: • A galvanometer is a very low resistance instrument used to measure very small currents in microamperes. It must be connected in series in a circuit. Use the galvanometer with care and without dropping it. • Jump in safely and observe taking turns. Procedure: 1. Strip off at least 1” insulation on all ends of the 20 meter flat wire. Loop the stranded wires together for each end. Connect the ends of the jump wire to the terminals of the galvanometer using the connecting wires with alligator clips. Figure 14. Generation and detection of electricity using the Earth’s magnetic field and rotating loop of conductor connected in series to a galvanometer 2. Lay the loop of wire together with the galvanometer on the ground. This long loop of cord-galvanometer arrangement will serve as the closed circuit jump rope electric generator. The galvanometer will serve as detector of the electric current that may be generated due to the Earth’s magnetic field and other essential components for electricity. 3. As shown in Figure 14, have members of your group stand on the jump rope, one at the far end and two near the galvanometer to secure the connections and directional marks for the chosen rotation alignment. If possible secure the connections and alignment another way, so everyone gets to observe the galvanometer freely as the cord is rotated during the jumping activity. 4. Align the jump wire electric generator in any of the geographical directions: (a) east to west, (b) north to south, and (c) northeast-southwest directions using a compass as shown in Figures 15 and 16.
119 5. With half of the loop on the ground, have two group members on each end pick up the free length of cord and rotate it clockwise or counter clockwise (relative to the galvanometer end) like a jump rope as shown in Figure 14 .Take turns rotating the cord and checking the galvanometer, even jumping in for fun during the activity. Figure 15. The galvanometer and jump wire electric generator set up along the East-West (left) and along the North-South (right) alignments. 6. Try also rotating both half-lengths of the loop together and observe also the galvanometer reading. Figure 16. The galvanometer and jump wire electric generator set up along the Northeast- Southwest alignment Figure 17. when both half-lengths of the loop are rotated together 7. This time try to generate, measure, and record the electric current readings. In doing so try to vary the following: A. Speed of rotation. B. Geographical alignment of rotation. C. Direction of single-length loop rotation. D. Length of rotated part. E. Single or double half-length rotations.
120 8. Design and write your own graphic organizer for your observations on your science notebook. Guide Questions: Q40. What effect does the rotating part of the loop have on the needle of the galvanometer? Q41. What effect does the speed of the rotating loop have on the generated electric current? Q42. Which condition or its combination would result to the greatest generated electric current? Smallest current? No current reading? Q43. Why does the geographical alignment of the rotating jump wire affect the galvanometer reading? Q44. What are the basic components of the jump wire electric generator? Q45. How will you explain the operation of a simple electric generator? 9. Extending Inquiry. Identify and describe the basic parts of the generator model shown in the figure below. Figure 18. DC Electric Generator Q46. Which part/device shown in the figure above? The activity on the jump wire generator operates using the principles of electromagnetic induction. In this activity, it is the conductor that moves within the Earth’s magnetic field. Will moving a source of magnetic field instead of the conductor lead to the same findings?
121 Activity 11 PRINCIPLES OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION (Adapted from the DepEd-NSTIC Activity on Faraday’s Induction) Objectives: • Observe the deflection of a galvanometer needle when a magnet moves inside a current-carrying coil. • Identify and explain the factors that affect the induced current through a conductor. Materials: • 3.6 meters hook/connecting wires (about 20 fine strands along the length of insulated magnet wire) • tape measure • size D dry cell • sticky tape and pair of scissors • galvanometer • two wooden blocks • two wires with alligator clips • pair of bar magnets • science notebook and pen Safety Precautions: • A galvanometer is a very low resistance instrument used to measure very small currents in microamperes. It must be connected in series in a circuit with the pointer at the zero point mark. Use the galvanometer with care so as not to drop it. Procedure: 1. Using a size D dry cell as guide, wind a 5-turn, a 10-turn, and a 15-turn coil out of a 60-cm, 120-cm and a 180-cm connecting wire respectively. Use small pieces of tape to hold the coil together on two or three areas. Remove the insulation from each end of the coil and strand the fine wires together for easy connection. 2. Set up the galvanometer, wooden blocks and bar magnets as shown in Figure 19.
122 Figure 19. A simple electromagnetic induction activity set up with a galvanometer that has its zero point mark in the center of the scale. This type of galvanometer measures the presence of a very small current, its direction, and its relative magnitude. Part A. Inducing voltage and current in a coil 3. As shown in Figure 20, lay the 5-turn coil above the two wooden blocks and connect it ends to the galvanometer via wires with alligator clips. At this point, observe what happens to the galvanometer pointer. Figure 20. Move the north pole of a bar magnet into a 5-turn coil 4. Hold a bar magnet above the coil as shown in Figure 20. Move the north pole of the magnet into the coil. Observe the galvanometer pointer as you do this. On your science notebook, make a table similar to Table 10 and record your observations.
123 Table 10. Inducing current in a coil Condition Coil Without a Magnet Magnet is Moving into the Coil Magnet is at Rest Inside the Coil Magnet is Moving Out of the Coil Galvanometer pointer’s deflection or non- deflection Galvanometer pointer’s direction of deflection 5. Hold the magnet inside the coil without moving it for a few seconds. Observe what happens. 6. Pull the magnet out of the coil. Observe the galvanometer pointer as you do this. Q47. How will you explain the deflection or non-deflection of the galvanometer pointer as observed in the activity? Q48. How will you compare the directions of deflection? Why do you think this is so? Part B. Amount of induced voltage and current vs number of turns 7. Use the set up to explore the relative magnitudes of the galvanometer pointer’s deflection for the 5-turn, 10-turn and 15-turn coils. Record your observations on your science notebook. Q49. For approximately the same speed of moving the magnet into or out of each coil, what happens to the magnitude of the pointer’s deflection as the number of turns in the coil increase? Part C. Amount of induced voltage and current vs strength of magnetic field 8. Use the 15-turn coil and the set up to explore the relationship between the magnitude of the galvanometer pointer’s deflection and the magnetic field strength using (a) one bar magnet, and (b) two bar magnets with like poles held together in parallel. Record your observations on your science notebook.
124 Figure 21. Move the north poles of two parallel bar magnets into a 15-turn coil. Q50. For approximately the same speed of moving the magnet into or out of the 15-turn coil, what happens to the deflection of the galvanometer pointer as the number of bar magnets (strength of magnetic field) increase? Part D. Amount of induced current vs rate of magnetic field change 9. Use the 15-turn coil and a bar magnet to explore the relationship between the magnitude of the galvanometer pointer’s deflection and the speed of movement of the magnet into or out of the coil. Record your observations on your science notebook. Q51. What happens to the deflection of the galvanometer pointer as the bar magnet is moved into or out of the 15-turn coil at different speeds (rate of magnetic field change)? Part E. Coil orientation and direction of magnetic field change 10. As shown in Figure 22, move (a) a bar magnet along one of the coils (preferably the 15-turn) and observe the magnitude of the galvanometer pointer’s deflection. Compare this deflection to that when (b) the bar magnet moves across (into or out) the coil at approximately the same speed. Record your observations on your science notebook. Figure 22. The bar magnet is moved (a) along or parallel to the coil orientation, and (b) across or perpendicular to the coil orientation
125 Q52. How would you compare behavior of the the galvanometer pointer when the magnet moves along the coil and when the magnet moves across the coil? Q53. In your own words, what are the factors that affect the amount of current and hence voltage (EMF) induced in a conductor by a changing magnetic field? Q54. An equation for the electromagnetic force (EMF) induced in a wire by a magnetic field is EMF = BLv, where B is magnetic field, L is the length of the wire in the magnetic field, and v is the velocity of the wire with respect to the field. How do the results in this activity support this equation. 11. Extending Inquiry. The principle of electromagnetic induction in two nearby coils can be demonstrated by a transformer. A typical transformer has two coils of insulated wire wound around an iron core. This device changes the AC voltage of the primary coil by inducing an increased or decreased EMF in the secondary coil. In practical applications, why does this device operate only on alternating current and not on direct current? Additional Reading Speed Control Technology – To ensure road safety and minimize vehicular-related death, buses, and other public utility vehicles can be equipped with a speed control device that limits the maximum speed by using electro- magnetic brakes in combination with a motor once the limit is exceeded. Speed control motor packages include the motor, the driver (controller), and a potentiometer which allows the driver for easy speed control adjustment. When the speed of this motor is controlled, a tacho-generator connected to the motor detects the speed. It is a magnet connected directly to the motor shaft and stator coil. The stator coil detects the magnetic field and generates an alternating current (AC) voltage.
126 Figure 23. Motor speed control technology diagram Since this voltage and frequency increase with a rise of the rotational speed, the rotational speed of the motor is controlled based on this signal. Traffic Light – Vehicles waiting at intersections with coils buried underneath is within an electromagnetic field. Changes in the field activate the traffic light as programmed. Typical red-light traffic systems have two induction-loop triggers made of rectangular or concentric wire loops buried under the road close to the stop line. This wire is connected to an electrical power source and a meter. Figure 24. An induction-loop traffic system at a road intersection senses vehicles within its electromagnetic fields The current through the wire produces a magnetic field affecting objects around the loop and the loop itself. When there is another conductive material within the magnetic field, then a changing induced voltage is detected. This results to changing magnetic flux that triggers the traffic system according to its programmed mechanism.
127 Metal Detector – Metal detectors trigger the “Bleep! Bleep! Bleep!” sound when objects with parts that are magnetic in nature move past it. This signal a precious find, a hidden unwanted object or a need for further security check. Figure 25. A basic pulse-electromagnetic induction metal detection technique The transmitter coil is given a pulsed current long enough for the transmitter’s magnetic field to reach the metal target. The transmitter’s loop current is then turned off. The changing or collapsing magnetic field induces an electromotive force that induce charges to flow in the metal target. This induced current creates a reradiated magnetic field that can be detected by a receiver coil located at the sensor. In some metal detectors, it is the device that is moved over the object. In other detectors, it is the object or the person that moves pass the machine. Whatever is the case, the current-carrying transmitting coil creates a changing magnetic field which in turn creates a changing electric field that creates the secondary magnetic field detected by the receiver coil. Induction Stove – Food cooks faster when heat is conducted directly and almost entirely at the base of the cooking pot. In induction stoves, current flowing through the copper coil wound underneath the cooking surface produces an electromagnetic field small enough to surround the base of the cooking pot. The magnetic field induces an electric current within the base of the metal pot. The metal in the cookware has electrical resistance that opposes the induced current and causes friction for the pot to heat up. Data acquisition and control system ReceiverPulse transmitter Transmitter magnetic field transmitter coil Receiver coil Reradiated magnetic field induced current on metal targer
128 Figure 26. Induction stove working mechanism Heat transfer in an induction stove is more efficient than that via the gas stove because almost all of its heat is conducted directly to the base of the pot unlike in gas stoves where much heat escapes around the side and heats up the room and the rest of the cooking pot. Figure 27. In induction cooking, heat loss is lesser than in gas cooking Magnetic Recording – Computer working memories (RAM’s and ROM’s), mass storage memories (magnetic hard disks, floppy disks, magnetic tape drives, and optical disk drives), and practically all write-able card storage devices (magnetic cards, smart cards, and flash memory cards) make use of the magneto-optical characteristic of the recording media to store information.

131 V. Summary/Synthesis/Feedback • Many of the audio-video recording technology apply the relationship between electricity and magnetism known as electromagnetic induction. • A typical recording studio consists of an audio-video console, microphones, computers, studio monitors or speakers, disc players and cables used for the exchange of audio and digital data signal during production, recording, mixing, and even editing of all audio-video elements digitally stored on disk drives. • Devices that detect and convert audio inputs to electric outputs or vice versa are called transducers. Most transducers like microphones and speakers use the “generator effect” characterized by the production of electromotive forces due to either a changing electric signal within a magnetic field or a changing magnetic field near a current-carrying conductor. • Magnetism is commonly attributed to ferromagnetism and electromagnetism depending on the material and moving charges. Every atom and all moving charges are in constant motion and therefore has a bit of magnetism due to magnetic spins and domains creating a net magnetic field. • A magnet has two magnetic poles (north and south seeking poles). • Stroking with a permanent magnet is one of the ways to induce or cause magnetism in an object that can be magnetized. The polarity of the induced magnetism in the object is opposite to the polarity of the nearer end of the permanent magnet. Attraction happens after magnetic induction occurs. • A magnet attracts, but do not repel, unmagnetized ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, cobalt and some of its alloys like steel and alnico. • Both forces of attraction and repulsion is possible between magnets and between a magnet and a temporarily magnetized object. • A magnetic field surrounds a magnet. Within this region, the magnet affects another magnet and other objects that can be magnetized. • The magnetic field is strongest at the poles where the magnetic lines of induction (flux) are closest. The magnetic field pattern can be shown using iron filings that align along magnetic lines of induction. • The magnetic lines of induction leave the north-pole and enter the south-pole in close loops and can be indicated by the north pole of a compass.
132 • The loops of magnetic field lines between like poles bend away from each other showing a force of repulsion. The lines between unlike poles join with each other to form continuous lines showing a force of attraction. • The earth acts like a giant bar magnet and has a magnetic field similar to it. • A charge has an electric field around it where other charges will experience an electromagnetic force. Like charges repel while unlike charges attract. • Moving charges or current in a wire produces a magnetic field. • An electromagnet is a coil of wire that uses current to produce a strong magnetic field. • The magnetic field patterns of a disk magnet, an electromagnetic nail, a current carrying straight conductor, and a current carrying coil are similar to that of the single bar magnet. • The magnetic field pattern between the poles of a U-shaped magnet resembles the field pattern between unlike poles of two bar magnets. Compasses aligned along the magnetic field show that the lines point from the north to the south poles and back forming close loops. • If the two bar magnets with two unlike poles which are close in between is brought together, the magnetic field pattern will resemble that of the single bar magnet. Lines from one pole enter the other pole. • Most refrigerator magnets has a pattern of alternating bands of magnetic field. • If the direction of the current is known, the direction of the magnetic field that is perpendicular to it and the magnetic force that is perpendicular to both current and magnetic field can be determined by applying the hand rules. • Using the right hand rule, the direction of the magnetic field follows the direction of the right hand fingers when the right thumb points in the direction of the conventional current (from positive to negative). • Using the left-hand rule, the direction of the magnetic field follows the direction of the left hand fingers when the left thumb points in the direction of the real flow of current (from negative to positive). • The magnetic field is strongest at the center of a current-carrying coil.
133 • The magnetic field increases in direct proportion to the number of turns in a coil with the compass needle, at the center of the coil of wire, deflecting about a wider angle than the compass needle along the straightened wire. • The end of the current-carrying coil where the magnetic lines of induction come out acts as the north pole of the coil. • A magnetic field exerts a force on a current-carrying conductor. Using the right-hand rule, the direction of this force is in the direction where the palm faces. • The motor effect is shown when a current-carrying conductor within a magnetic field moves in the direction of the force. The force on a moving current- carrying conductor may be varied by changing the magnetic field. • An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy into rotational mechanical energy. A simple DC motor can be assembled using a single coil that rotates in a magnetic field. The direct current in the coil is supplied via two brushes. The forces exerted on the current-carrying wire creates a rotation-causing force on the coil. • An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. A simple electric generator is made when a coil or any closed loop of conductor moves through or cuts across magnetic field lines. The coil will experience an induced voltage or an electromotive force that will cause a pulsating direct current (DC) to be generated. The pulsating direct current fluctuates in value but does not change direction. • Electromagnetic induction is a process in which electric current is generated in a conductor by a moving or changing magnetic field. • A changing magnetic field occurs when there is relative motion between a source of a magnetic field and a conductor; it does not matter which moves. • A changing magnetic field may also arise from a changing nearby current. • The amount of voltage (EMF) induced when a conductor and a magnetic field are in relative motion depends on (a) the length L of the conductor or the number of turns in the coil, (b) the strength and orientation of the magnetic field B relative to the conductor, and (c) The relative velocity v of the changing magnetic field.
134 • The equation for the induced voltage or electromagnetic force (EMF) in a wire by a changing magnetic field is EMF = BLv. By Ohm’s Law the amount of induced current is directly proportional to the induced voltage. • A transformer uses electromagnetic induction in two nearby coils (the primary and secondary coils). Typically, the two coils of insulated wire are wound around an iron core. This device changes the AC voltage of the primary coil by inducing an increased or decreased EMF in the secondary coil. VI.

146 The Electric and Magnetic Fields Together Accelerating electrons produce electromagnetic waves. These waves are a combination of electric and magnetic fields. A changing magnetic field produces an electric field and a changing electric field produces a magnetic field. As accelerated electrons produce an electric field of a wave, the varying electric field produces the wave’s magnetic field. Both the electric field and the magnetic field oscillate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of the propagating wave. Figure 1. Electromagnetic Wave All electromagnetic waves can travel through a medium but unlike other types of waves, they can also travel in vacuum. They travel in vacuum at a speed of 3X108 m/s and denoted as c, the speed of light. The wave speed, frequency, and wavelength are related by the following equation: v=λf where v is the wave speed, or c (speed of light) expressed in meters per second, the frequency f is expressed in Hertz and the wavelength λ is expressed in meters. Since all the EM waves have the same speed and that is equal to the speed of light, as wavelength decreases, the frequency of the wave increases. Through the years, the advancement on the knowledge about electromagnetic waves led us to a modern technological world.
147 Example Problems: (Assume that the waves propagate in a vacuum.) 1. What is the frequency of radio waves with wavelength of 20 m? Given: v= c = 3X108 m/s λ= 20 m f= ? v=c=λf f=c/λ = 3X108 m/s 20 m = 1.5 X107 Hz 2. What is the frequency of light waves with wavelength of 5 X 10-7 m? Given: v= c = 3X108 m/s λ= 5 X 10-7 m f= ? v=c=λf f=c/λ = 3X108 m/s 5X10-7 m = 6 X1014 Hz Check your understanding! Are these statements true? If not, correct them. 1. Electromagnetic waves transfer energy through vacuum. 2. A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy. 3. Most EM waves are invisible and undetectable. The Electromagnetic Spectrum The electromagnetic spectrum is a continuum of electromagnetic waves arranged according to frequency and wavelength. It is a gradual progression from the waves of lowest frequencies to the waves of highest frequencies. According to increasing frequency, the EM spectrum includes: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. These waves do not have exact dividing region. The different types of electromagnetic waves are defined by the amount of energy carried by/possessed by the photons. Photons are bundles of wave energy. The energy of a photon is given by the equation: E=hf where h is the Planck’s Constant and f is the frequency of the EM wave. The value of the Planck’s constant is 6.63 x 10-34 joules per second. From among the EM waves, the gamma rays have photons of high energies while radio waves have photons with the lowest energies. With regards to wavelength, radio waves can be likened to the size of a football field while gamma rays are as small as the nuclei of an atom.
148 Figure 2 will give you a clearer idea of the characteristics of the electromagnetic waves as their sizes are compared with visible materials. Figure 2. The Electromagnetic Spectrum

151 Radio waves have a very wide range of wavelengths. The whole region of the radio waves is divided into smaller regions or wavebands. Each waveband is allocated by law to a specific radio service. The wavelengths and frequencies of the different wavebands and their uses are shown in Table 2. Table 2. Radio waves Frequencies BAND Frequency Range Wavelength Range Application Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) < 3 kHz > 100 km Very Low Frequency (VLF) 3-30 Hz 10-100 km Low Frequency (LF) 30-300 kHz 1-10 km Radio communication Medium Frequency (MF) 300 kHz – 3 MHz 100m – 1 km Radio communication (AM radio broadcasting) High Frequency (HF) 3 – 30 MHz 10 – 100 m Radio communication (AM radio broadcasting) Very High Frequency (VHF) 30 – 300 MHZ 1 – 10 m Radio communication (FM radio broadcasting) TV Broadcasting Ultra High Frequency (UHF) 300 MHz – 3 GHz 10 cm – 1 m Radio communication (FM radio broadcasting) TV Broadcasting Super High Frequency (SHF) 3 – 30 GHz 1 – 10 cm Radio communication Satellite Communication Extremely High Frequency (EHF) 30 – 300 GHz 1mm – 1 cm Low frequency waves are suitable for communication over great distances. But the curvature of the earth limits the range to about 80 kilometers. To extend the range, a repeater is used. The repeater receives the signal and re-transmits it to the receiving station. High frequency waves can be reflected by the ionosphere. This enables the waves to be transmitted over great distances.
152 Medium and high frequency waves are used for broadcasting by local radio stations. In a radio station, sound is converted by a microphone into patterns of electric current variations called audio-frequency (AF) signals. High frequency radio waves called radio-frequency (RF) carriers can be modulated to match the electronic signal. In amplitude modulation, the amplitude of the radio waves (RF carrier) changes to match that of the audio-frequency signal. This is used in standard broadcasting because it can be sent over long distances. Very high frequency waves provide a higher quality broadcasting including stereo sound. In this process, instead of the amplitude of the RF carrier, it is the frequency of the waves that changes to match that of the signal. This is called frequency modulation. Try the next activity to learn about the production, transmission and reception of radio waves. Activity 3 Sound check… Adapted from: Littell, McDougal Science.

155 Microwaves Microwaves have smaller wavelengths than radio waves. They are used in satellite communications, radar, television transmission and cooking. Applications of Microwaves Satellite Communications Microwaves can penetrate the atmosphere of the earth. This is the reason why they are used for satellite communications. Communication satellites travel around the earth at an altitude of 35, 000 km above the equator. They move at a speed of 11 300 km/h and revolve around the earth every 24 hours, the same rate as the rotation of the earth. This makes them appear to be stationary when seen on Earth. Antennae are mounted to point in fixed directions towards these satellites. Microwaves signals are transmitted by an antenna to a satellite which amplifies and re-transmits the signal to an antenna in other parts of the world. This is how we communicate with the rest of the world. http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Navigation/Galileo_satellite_set_for_new_orbit Figure 4. An orbiting satellite Radar http://phys.org/news/2013-03-nasa-kaboom-experimental-asteroid-radar.html Figure 5. A radar
156 Microwaves have short wavelengths and are reflected by small objects. This property is used in radars. Radar is the acronym of radio detection and ranging. A radar system is consists of an antenna, transmitter, and a receiver. The antenna whirls around continuously to scan the surrounding area. The transmitter sends out a narrow beam of microwaves in short pulses. A distant object reflects some of the signal back to the receiver. The direction to which the signal was received gives the direction of the object. The distance of the object can be calculated from the time lag between the transmitted pulse and the reflected pulse. Terrestrial Communication Microwaves are used to transmit television news coverage from mobile broadcast vehicles back to the station. The news crew can also set up a small antenna to send signals to a communication satellite. This is how news are broadcasted and watched live around the world. Figure 6. A Television set A cell phone is a radio transmitter and receiver that uses microwaves. Cellular phones depend on overlapping network of cells or areas of land several kilometres in diameter. Each cell has its tower that receives and sends microwave signals. The figure below will give you further understanding on the process. Figure 7. Transmission and reception of signals by a cellular phone
157 Microwave oven In a microwave oven, foods absorb certain microwave frequencies very strongly. The microwaves penetrate the food being heated. It will agitate the water molecules within the food, thus creating molecular friction which then produces heat that will cook it. http://linmabeltech.com/?attachment_id=885 Figure 8. A microwave oven The next activity will give you an idea about the next type of EM wave, the infrared wave. Activity 5 It’s getting hotter Objectives: • Discover infrared and its effect. • Explain the relationship between frequency and the energy carried by an EM wave.

Position another thermometer in the yellow region. 6. Position the last thermometer just below the red region.
158 7. Measure the temperature every after 2 minutes for 10 minutes. 8. Record the temperature readings in the three regions in the table below. Time Temperature Readings 1st Thermometer (Blue Region) 2nd Thermometer (Yellow Region) 3rd Thermometer (Red Region) 0 2 minutes 4 minutes 6 minutes 8 minutes 10 minutes Guide Questions: Q9. Did you see any trend? Explain if there is any. Q10. What did you notice about the temperature readings? Q11. In which region have you recorded the highest temperature after 10 minutes? Q12. What do you think exists just beyond the red part of the spectrum? Q13. Discuss any other observations or problems. Infrared Infrared radiation lies beyond the red end of the visible light. It is emitted by all objects. The amount and wavelength of radiation depend on temperature. Below 500oC, an object emits only infrared radiation. Above 500oC, an object glows and emits both infrared and some visible light. Our bodies radiate infrared and under infrared camera or a night vision goggle, our images appear in variety of colors.The differences in color determine the differences in temperature. For example, shades of blue and green indicate regions of colder temperature; and red and yellow indicate warmer temperature.
159 Figure 9. Infrared image of a dog In Figure 9, the dog is covered with thick coat of fur that prevents the heat generated by the dog’s body from escaping. Notice that the dog’s nose is cold while the eyes and mouth areas are warm. The following are some useful applications of IR radiation: 1. Infrared photographs taken from a satellite with special films provide useful details of the vegetation on the Earth’s surface. 2. Infrared scanners are used to show the temperature variation of the body. This can be used for medical diagnosis. 3. Infrared remote controls are used in TVs, video, cassette recorders, and other electronic appliances. 4. Some night-vision goggles use IR. 5. Some autofocus cameras have transmitter that sends out infrared pulses. The pulses are reflected by the object to be photographed back to the camera. The distance of the object is calculated by the time lag between the sending and receiving of pulses. The lens is then driven by a built-in motor to adjust to get the correct focus of the object.
160 The Visible Spectrum Whenwhitelightpassesthroughaprism,itisseparatedintoitsconstituent colors: the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. These colors do not distinctly separate but they continuously change from red to violet. Red color has the longest wavelength from among these colors and violet has the shortest. Figure 10. The Visible Spectrum Our eyes are sensitive to electromagnetic waves of wavelengths that ranges from 4x10-7 m to 7x10-7 m. This is the range of wavelengths of white light. Thus, the spectrum of white light is therefore called the visible spectrum. Table 3 shows the wavelengths of the different colors that constitute the white light. Table 3. The Wavelength of the Different Colors of Light Color Wavelength (nm) Violet - Indigo 390 to 455 Blue 455 to 492 Green 492 to 577 Yellow 577 to 597 Orange 597 to 622 Red 622 to 700 The next activity introduces the next part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Perform this activity to have a deeper understanding about this kind of EM wave. This activity should be done early in the morning so as to expose the material throughout the day.

How does this realization impact to your personal life? Extension Activity: For a more noticeable result, continue exposing the material for several days. Perform the same activity during a cloudy day or inside the house. Observe and compare the degree of effect to that during a bright sunny day. Ultraviolet Radiation Ultraviolet radiation lies just beyond the violet end of the visible spectrum. Ultraviolet waves have shorter wavelengths than the visible light and carry more energy.
162 Some Uses of UV Radiation The sun is our main source of ultraviolet radiation but there are also artificial sources of UV light. Ultraviolet radiation in UV lamps are used by banks to check the signature on a passbook. The signature is marked on the passbook with fluorescent ink. It becomes visible when viewed under an ultraviolet lamp. These lamps are also used to identify fake banknotes. Ultraviolet radiation is also used in sterilizing water from drinking fountains. Some washing powder also contains fluorescent chemicals which glow in sunlight. This makes your shirt look whiter than white in daylight. Ultraviolet radiation in sunlight produces vitamin D in the skin and gives us tanning effect. But since UV rays have high energy, it could be harmful to some extent. It could burn the skin and hurt our eyes. Overexposure to UV radiation may cause skin cancer. Suntan or sunscreen lotions serve as filters to protect the body from ultraviolet radiation. X-rays X-rays come just after the ultraviolet rays. They are of shorter wavelength but carries higher energy than the UV. X-rays are produced using an X-ray tube. They are emitted when fast moving electrons hit a metal target. X-rays were discovered by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in 1895. LongwavelengthX-rayscanpenetrate the flesh but not the bones. They are used in X-ray photography to help doctors look inside the body. They are useful in diagnosing bone fractures and tumors. Figure 11. An X-ray film Short wavelength X-rays can penetrate even through metals. They are used in industry to inspect welded joints for faults. All X-rays are dangerous because they can damage healthy living cells of the body. This is the reason why frequent exposure to X-rays should be avoided. Too much exposure to X-rays can damage body tissues and can cause cancer.
163 Gamma Rays Gamma rays lie at the other end of the electromagnetic spectrum. They are shortest in wavelength and highest in frequency. They carry the highest amount of energy, thus, they are more dangerous. Gamma rays are emitted by stars and some radioactive substances. They can only be blocked with lead and thick concrete. Gamma rays are very strong that they can kill living cells. Gamma rays are used to treat cancer through the process called radiotherapy. They are also used for sterilization of drinking water. V.

173 IV. Reading Resources and Instructional Activities Reflection of Light in Mirrors Have you noticed the word “AMBULANCE” in an ambulance car? How is it written? Did you ever wonder why it is written that way? You will find the answers to these questions as you go through this module. Try the following activity to study one of the properties of light. Activity 1 Mirror, mirror, on the wall… Objectives: • Determine the height, width, and the distance from the mirror of the image formed by plane mirrors. • Compare the actual height, width and the distance from the mirror of the object with that of the image formed by plane mirror. Materials: • 1 (10 cm x 15 cm) plane mirror • 1 graphing paper • 10 one–peso coins • modeling clay • pen Procedure: 1. Let the mirror stand vertically along a line on a graphing paper as shown in Figure 1. Use the modeling clay to support the plane mirror. Figure 1. A Plane Mirror on a Graphing Paper. 2. Using a pen, make three (3) different marks along the intersections on the graphing paper in front of a mirror. Modeling clay Mirror
174 3. Measure the distance of each mark from the mirror by counting the number of parallel lines between the mark and the base of the plane mirror. Record your data in a table similar to Table 1 below. 4. Look at the images of the marks formed by the mirror. Measure the distance of each image from the mirror by counting the number of parallel lines between the image and the base of the mirror. Record this also in Table 1. Table 1. Distance of the Object and Image from the Mirror Mark Number of Parallel Lines Between the Mark and the Mirror Between the Image and the Mirror Mark 1 Mark 2 Mark 3 Q1. Refer to Table 1, compare the distance (number of parallel lines) from the mirror of the object with that of the image. 5. Stack 10 pieces of one-peso coin in front of the plane mirror as in Figure 2. Using a ruler, measure the height and width of the stack of coins. Measure also the height and width of the image as seen on the mirror. Enter your measurements in a table similar to Table 2. Figure 2. Stack of Coins In front of the Plane Mirror Table 2. Height and Width of Object and Image Description Object Image Height (cm) Width (cm) Q2. How do the height and width of the object compare with the height and width of the image?
175 Reflection is the bouncing off of light rays when it hits a surface like a plane mirror. In the activity, you used plane mirrors and located the object distance, p and the image distance, q and found out that p is equal to q. In plane mirrors, the image appears as if it is behind the mirror but actually not, so the image is virtual. The value therefore of image distance, q is negative. The height of the image, h’ in plane mirrors is always the same as the height of the object, thus its magnification, M is 1. The magnification formula is written below: To learn more about reflection of light in plane mirrors, try the next activity. However, here are some important terms which you need to understand first. Incident Ray. The ray of light approaching the mirror represented by an arrow approaching an optical element like mirrors. Reflected Ray. The ray of light which leaves the mirror and is represented by an arrow pointing away from the mirror. Normal Line. An imaginary line (labeled N in Figure 3) that can be drawn perpendicular to the surface of the mirror at the point of incidence where the ray strikes the mirror. The angle between the incident ray and the normal line is known as the angle of incidence, Өi . The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is known as the angle of reflection, Өr . Figure 3.

176 Activity 2 Angle of Incidence vs. Angle of Reflection Objectives: • Compare the angle of reflection and the angle of incidence. • State one of the laws of reflection. Materials: • 1 plane mirror • 1 low – frequency laser/ laser pen/laser pointer • 1 paper protractor (see Appendix A) Procedure: 1. Let the mirror stand vertically along the edge of the paper protractor as shown in Figure 4. Use the clay to support the plane mirror. Figure 4. A Plane mirror on a paper protractor 2. Position the laser beam such that it hits the mirror at an angle of 10o with the normal line. Measure the angle between the reflected ray and the normal line. Record your measurement in a table similar to Table 3. 3. Make three trials and get the average. 4. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for angles 20o , 30o , 40o , and 50o . Enter all your measurements in Table 3. Table 3. Angles of Incidence and Reflection Angle of Incidence Angle of Reflection Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3 Ave. 10o 20o 30o 40o 50o
177 Q3. How does the angle of incidence compare with the angle of reflection? Q4. A periscope is an instrument for observation over, around or through an obstacle. Explain how light travels in a periscope. Diagram the light rays as these pass through the periscope. In the activity, you found out that the angle of incidence (Өi ) is equal to the angle of reflection (Өr ). In symbols: Өi = Өr This is one of the laws of reflection. The other law states that: “The normal line, incident ray, and the reflected ray lie on the same plane.” Reflection of light is employed significantly in making optical instruments like periscopes. Periscopes allow sea navigators in a submarine to see the surface of the water. Try the next activity to further investigate the reflection of light in plane mirrors Activity 3 Mirror Left-Right Reversal Objectives: • Describe the images formed by plane mirror. • Show an understanding of reversal effect in mirrors by writing laterally inverted letters and words. Materials: • alphabet chart • 1 plane mirror Procedure: 1. Place the alphabet chart in front of the plane mirror. Identify all capital letters in the alphabet that can be read properly in front of the mirror. 2. Write at least 3 words (all in capital letters) that can be read properly both with a mirror and without a mirror in front of it.
178 Q5. What are the letters of the alphabet (in capital) that can be read properly in front of a mirror? Q6. Think of words (in capital letters) that can be read properly both with a mirror and without a mirror. What are these words? Q7. Write the sentence below on a clear sheet of paper in such a way that it can be read properly in front of a mirror: Honesty is the best policy. Mirror Left-Right Reversal Figure 5 shows a girl combing her hair with her left hand. However, in her image, you will notice that she is combing her hair with her right hand. This effect is known as the mirror left-right reversal. The left side of the object appears as the right side of the image and the right side appears as the left. This also explains why the word “AMBULANCE” in an am- bulance car is flipped. Do the next activity to learn more about reflection of light, this time using two plane mirrors. You will explore how the angle between two plane mirrors affects the number of images formed. Activity 4 Who wants to be a Millionaire? Objectives: • Identify the relationship between the number of images formed and the angle between the two mirrors. • Use the gathered data to derive the formula for determining the number of images formed when two mirrors are kept at a certain angle. Materials: • 1 one-peso coin • 1 paper protractor • 2 plane mirrors Figure 5. Mirror Left-Right Reversal
179 Procedure: 1. Place two plane mirrors at an angle of 90o and place the one-peso coin between the mirrors as shown in Figure 6. Figure 6. Two plane mirrors at 90 degree angle 2. Count the number of images formed. Record this in a table similar to Table 4 below. 3. Try to vary the angle between the mirrors. Q8. What happens to the number of images formed as you vary the angle between the mirrors? 4. Set the angle between the mirrors to 60o . Count and record again the number of images formed. 5. Do again step 4 for angles 45o and 30o . Enter all the values in a table similar to Table 4 Table 4. Number of Images Formed Angle Number of Images 90o 60o 45o 30o Q9. Refer to Table 4. What relationship exists between the number of images formed and the angle between two mirrors? Q10. Use the data in Table 4 to derive the formula for determining the number of images formed by two mirrors? Q11. How should the mirrors be arranged such that an infinite number of images will be formed or seen?
180 Multiple Images Have you seen a lot of money in your previous activity? Multiple images are formed by the reflection that happens when arranging at least two mirrors. Figure 7 shows three images of a toy car in front of two mirrors at 90o . The number of images, N, can be determined using the formula N = (360/angle between the mirror) -1. Parallel mirrors on the other hand produce infinite number of images. Reflection not only happens on a smooth surface like plane mirrors, but also happens on rough surfaces. This is why reflection is classified into two types. Types of Reflection: 1. Specular/ Regular Reflection. This is a reflection of light on smooth surfaces such as mirrors or a calm body of water. An example of this is the image of the Mayon volcano on a calm water shown in Figure 8b. (a) (b) Sources: http://www.orcagrowfilm.com/Articles.asp?ID=148 & http://www.wallpaperup. com/225284/landscape_nature_trees_mountain_Mount_Mayon_Philippines_Luzon_ reflection_volcano_g.html Figure 8. Specular Reflection. (a) Parallel light rays reflect in one direction (b) Mayon Volcano and its reflection on calm water 2. Diffused/Irregular Reflection. This is a reflection of light on rough surfaces such as clothing, paper, wavy water, and the asphalt roadway. An example of this is the image of a mountain on a wavy body of water as shown in Figure 9b. Figure 7. Multiple Images Formed by Two Plane Mirrors at 90o Angle
181 (a) (b) Sources: http://www.orcagrowfilm.com/Articles.asp?ID=148 & http://www.wallpaperup. com/29790/sunset_mountains_reflection.html Figure 9. Diffused Reflection. (a) Parallel light rays reflect in different directions. (b) A mountain and its reflection on wavy water The following lesson presents a specular/ regular reflection (because it happens on a smooth surface) but the reflected rays do not follow one direction. Why is that so? Let us find out. Reflection on Spherical Mirrors Look at your reflection on a shiny metal spoon. Is your reflection the same on the two surfaces of the spoon? How will you compare your reflection on the two surfaces of the spoon? This is a reflection on curved mirrors. A curved mirror is a reflecting surface in which its surface is a section of sphere. There are two kinds of curved mirrors, the concave and the convex mirrors. A spoon is a kind of a curved mirror with both concave and convex surfaces. Two Kinds of Spherical Mirrors: 1. The Concave Mirror • It is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges away from the light source. • It is called Converging Mirror because the parallel incident rays converge or meet/intersect at a focal point after reflection. Figure 10. Parallel rays converge after reflection on a concave mirror
182 2. The Convex Mirror • It is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges towards the light source. • It is called Diverging Mirror because the parallel incident rays diverge after reflection. When extending the reflected rays behind the mirror, the rays converge at the focus behind the mirror. To know more about curved mirrors and how images are formed when objects are placed in front of them, try Activity 5 below. Activity 5 Images Formed by Curved Mirrors Objective: Describe the location, size, and orientation of the images formed by curved mirrors. Materials: • Improvised optical bench apparatus • Curved mirror (concave and convex) • Mirror stand • Screen or white cardboard • Flashlight • Meter stick • Sheet of paper (colored black) Procedure: 1. Cut a U-shaped object from a cartolina with a size that fits the glass cover of the flashlight. Attach the U-shaped object to the cover of the flashlight. Refer to Figure 12. Figure 11. Parallel light rays diverge after reflection on a convex mirror
183 2. Position the concave mirror intact with the mirror stand at the center of two meter sticks as shown in Figure 13 below. 3. Mark the improvised optical bench or meter sticks at the following points: the focal point F (see the specified focal length on label of the mirror), and the center of curvature, C which is equal to 2F. 4. Place the flashlight at a distance farther than the center of curvature, C in front of the mirror. 5. Allow the light rays coming from the flashlight to strike the mirror. 6. Place a screen (a white cardboard) at a distance in front of the mirror. Move the screen in different distances in front of the mirror until a clear and sharp image of the U-shape is formed on the screen. Note the size and location of the image formed (on the screen). 7. Do the same thing in different location of the object by moving the flashlight at the center of curvature C, near the focal point, F at the focal point, and between the focal point and the mirror. Figure 12. A U-shaped object attached to the flashlight Figure 13. Set-up for Curved Mirror Experiment
184 Q12. What happens to the size and location of the image when you bring the flashlight nearer to the concave mirror? 8. Repeat steps 3, 5, and 7 using a convex mirror. This time, you will not use the screen. Look through the convex mirror to see the image. Q13. What is the generalization from the nature of images formed by convex mirror and concave mirror? This activity is adapted from Lesson Plans in Science IV, Unit II Energy in the Environment, Activity 2.5 Images Formed by Curved Mirrors. In Activity 5 using a concave mirror, you observed that images formed on the screen are inverted. Images formed on a screen, after reflection, are called real images because they are formed by the intersection of real reflected rays. A virtual image, on the other hand, does not form on a screen because a virtual image is formed by the intersection of non-real rays. Images Formed by Curved Mirrors In locating the image formed in curved mirror graphically, three important points are considered. The following important points are enumerated below. (a) Figure 14. Curved Mirrors (a) Concave Mirror (b) Convex Mirror (b) • Center of Curvature, C - the center of the sphere of which the mirror is part. Its distance from the mirror is known as the radius. • Vertex, V - the center of the mirror. • Focal Point/ Focus, F - the point between the center of the curvature and vertex. Its distance from the mirror is known as the focal length, f. Principal axis Principal axis
185 The ‘Four Principal Rays’ in Curved Mirrors Images formed in a curved mirror can be located and described through ray diagramming. The P – F ray, F – P ray, C – C ray, and the V ray are the ‘Four Principal Rays’ in curve mirrors. These rays, applied for concave and convex mirrors, are presented in Table 5. Table 5. The ‘Four Principal Rays’ on Concave and Convex Mirrors Concave Mirror (Converging Mirror) Convex Mirror (Diverging Mirror) 1. P – F Ray. A ray of light parallel to the principal axis is reflected passing through the principal focus, F. 1. P – F Ray. A ray of light parallel to the principal axis is reflected as if passing through the principal focus, F. 2. F – P Ray. A ray of light passing through the focus, F is reflected parallel to the principal axis. 2. F – P Ray. A ray of light directed towards the focus, F is reflected parallel to the principal axis. actual reflected ray imaginary extension of the reflected ray imaginary extension of the reflected ray actual reflected ray
186 3. C – C Ray. A ray of light passing through the center of curvature, C reflects back along its own path. 3. C – C Ray. A ray of light directed towards the center of curvature, C reflects back along its own path. 4. V Ray. A ray of light directed to the vertex reflects at equal angle from the principal axis 4. V Ray. A ray of light directed to the vertex reflects at equal angle from the principal axis. In determining the position and nature of the image graphically, the ‘Four Principal Rays’ are used. Ray diagramming is used in the graphical method of locating the image. The following are ray diagramming steps using the ‘Four Principal Rays’ in determining the position and the nature of the image of an object formed by concave mirror and convex mirror. 1. From the object, draw the first ray (P – F ray). From the same point on the object, draw the second (F – P ray), third (C – C ray), and fourth (V ray) rays. 2. The intersection of the four rays is the image point corresponding to the object point. For example, if you started diagramming from the tip of the arrow-shaped object, the intersection of the reflected rays is also the tip of the arrow-shaped image. Thus, you can determine completely the position and characteristics of the image. actual reflected ray imaginary extension of the reflected ray imaginary extension of the reflected ray actual reflected ray
187 3. For a convex mirror, light rays diverge after reflection and converge from a point that seems to be behind the mirror (virtual focus); but the procedure for locating images is the same as for concave mirror. In the next activity, you will use the steps described above to locate and describe the images formed by concave and convex mirrors through graphical method. To do this, always start by drawing the curved mirror and its principal axis, then identify the F and C on the principal axis. Next is to draw the object then diagram the rays from the object. Activity 6 Are you L-O-S-T after Reflection? Objective: Construct ray diagrams to determine the location, orientation, size, and type of images formed by curved mirror. Materials: • Protractor and ruler • Sheets of paper Procedure: 1. Using the protractor and the ruler, copy each of the diagrams (A – G) below on a separate sheet of paper. As much as possible, use the four principal rays to locate the image formed in a curved mirror. Concave Mirror A. B.

How does the location of the object affect the characteristics and location of the image formed in a concave mirror? Convex mirror? Q15. What type of mirror do dentists usually use to clearly see the images of our teeth? Why? Q16. What kind of curved mirror do you see in most of the department stores? Why do they use such kind of mirror? This activity, which you have just performed is more detailed on the location, orientation, size, and type of the images formed. Did this activity in curved mirrors confirm your observations in the previous activity (Activity 5)?
190 The Mirror Equation Ray diagrams provide useful information about the image formed, yet fail to provide the information in a quantitative form. Ray diagrams will help you determine the approximate location and size of the image, but it will not provide you with the numerical information about image distance and object size. To determine the exact location and size of the image formed in a curved mirror, an equation is needed. The following derivation shows the mirror equation using the Figure 15 below. From the first and fourth rays, similar triangles are seen in the figure below. From the height of the object, h and the height of the image, h’ shown in Fig. 15 (a), you can arrive at the first equation, Similarly, as shown in Fig. 15 (b), the second equation can be derived as Combining Equations 1 and 2, you will get (a) (b) Figure 15. Similar Triangles Formed using the (a) first ray (P – F ray) and (b ) fourth ray (V ray). Equation 1 Equation 2 Equation 3
191 Rearranging Equation 3, you will arrive at and finally, where: f = focal length or distance from the mirror and the focal point, F p = distance of the object from the mirror q = distance of the image from the mirror The equation above, called mirror equation, applies to both concave and convex mirrors. However, for all location of objects in front of the convex mirror, the image always appears as if it is located behind the mirror. It is therefore considered that the value of image distance, q is negative. In the same manner, the focus, F in a convex mirror is located on the other side of the mirror (behind the mirror), thus, the focal length, f is also negative. Sample Problem: A 5.00-cm tall light bulb is placed at a distance of 45.0 cm from a concave mirror having a focal length of 10.5 cm. Determine the image distance and the image size. Given: height of the object, h = 5.00 cm distance of the object, p = 45.0 cm focal point, f = 10.5 cm Find: distance of the image, q = ? height of the image, h’ = ? Mirror Equation
192 The mirror equation must be used to determine the distance of the image, q. To determine the image height, the magnification equation is needed. Since three of the four quantities in the equation are known, the fourth quantity can be calculated. The negative value for image height indicates that the image is an inverted image. Try solving this… 1. What is the image distance and image height if a 7.00-cm tall object is placed 30.0 cm from a concave mirror having a focal length of 10.0 cm? 2. A magnified, inverted image is located a distance of 30.0 cm from a concave mirror with a focal length of 15.0 cm. What is the object distance?
193 Sample Problem: What is the focal length of a convex mirror that produces an image that appears 15.0 cm behind the mirror when the object is 27.5 cm from the mirror? Given: q = -15.0 cm p = 27.5 cm Find: f = ? To determine the focal length, f, the mirror equation will be used. Substitute and solve for f. The negative value for focal length confirms that the mirror used is a convex mirror. Try solving this… 3. An object is placed 33.7 cm from the convex mirror with a focal length of 10.7 cm. Determine the image distance. 4. A 7.0-cm tall light bulb is placed a distance of 37.5 cm from a convex mirror having a focal length of -12.5 cm. Determine the image distance and the image size.
194 Refraction of Light in Lenses You learned in Grade 8 that Refraction is the bending of light when it travels from one medium to another of different optical densities. The ancient Greeks used the concept of light refraction in their living like using a lens to focus light rays. A lens is a transparent material made of glass or plastic that refracts light rays and focuses (or appear to focus) them at a point. Types of Lenses 1. Convex Lens Figure 16. Convex Lens. (a) Parallel light rays converge after refraction. (b) A converging lens magnifying the words from a book • It is thicker in the center than edges. • It forms real images and virtual images depending on position of the object. • It is also called Converging Lens because the light that passes through it tends to converge at a particular point called the focal point. The Sign Conventions for Mirror • f is positive (+) if the mirror is a concave mirror • f is negative (-) if the mirror is a convex mirror • q is (+) if the image is a real image and located on the object’s side of the mirror. • q is (-) if the image is a virtual image and located behind the mirror • h’ is (+) if the image is an upright image • h’ is (-) if the image an inverted image (a) (b)
195 2. Concave Lens Figure 17. Concave Lens. (a) Parallel light rays diverge after refraction. (b) A diverging lens demagnifying the words from a book. Activity 7 YoU can be Magnified! Objectives: • Measure the focal length and linear magnification of a convex lens. • Locate the image formed by convex lens. • Describe the image formed by a convex lens. Materials: • convex lens or magnifying glass • lens holder e.g. clay • meterstick • index card Procedure: 1. Hold the convex lens under a ceiling light. A projection screen (e.g. the floor or the surface table) should be placed under the convex lens. 2. Move the convex lens up and down until a sharp image of the ceiling light is projected on the screen. 3. Measure the distance between the lens and the projection surface using a ruler. Q17. What is the focal length of the convex lens? • It is thicker at the edges and thinner in the center. • It forms upright and reduced images. • It is also called Diverging Lens because the light that passes through it tends to diverge at a particular point called the focal point. (a) (b)
196 Q18. How would you describe the image formed if a distant object is used? 4. Mount the convex lens on a clay. Draw a U–shaped object on an index card and mount the index card on another clay. Initially place the index card beside the zero (0) mark on the meter stick, and place the lens in front of the index card as shown in Figure 18a below: 5. Look through the lens and move the lens until you can clearly see an enlarged and upright image of the U-shaped object as shown in Fig. 18b below. 6. Measure the distance between the convex lens and the card using a meter stick. Record your observation on the second column of a table similar to Table 7. 7. Measure the distance between the lens and your eye. Record your observation on the third column of a table similar to Table 7. 8. Move again the convex lens back and forth, until you can clearly see, this time, an enlarged and inverted image of the U-shaped object. Then, repeat steps 6 and 7. 9. Move again the convex lens so that you can clearly see a reduced and upside down image of the U-shaped object. Repeat steps 6 and 7. Figure 18a. Set-up for Lens Experiment Figure 18 b. Looking at the U-shaped Object through the Lens
197 Table 7. Distances from the Lens of Object and your Eye Description of Image Distance between the Object and the lens (cm) Distance between the Eye and the lens(cm) Enlarged and upright Enlarged and inverted Reduced and inverted Q19. What kind of lenses are magnifying glasses? When a magnifying glass produces a sharp clear image, where is the object located in relation to the lens? Q20. Where should a magnifying glass be placed to produce an e larged and upright image, closer to the eye or nearer to the object? Why? From the activity, you were able to determine the focal length of a lens. You were also able to measure the distance of the object and the image from the lens. These quantities are very significant in describing the image formed. Images formed by lenses can also be real or virtual. In Activity 7, using a convex lens, you observed that images are formed on the screen. Images formed on a screen, after refraction, are called real images because they are formed by the intersection of real refracted rays. A virtual image, on the other hand, does not form on a screen because a virtual image is formed by the intersection of non-real rays.
198 Images Formed by Lenses In locating the image formed in lenses graphically, two important points are considered. The following important points are enumerated below. Figure 19. Lenses (a) Convex Lens (b) Concave Lens The ‘Three Most Useful Rays’ in Lenses Images formed in a lens can be located and described through ray diagramming. The following three most useful rays for convex and concave lenses are presented below. Table 8. The Three ‘Most Useful Rays’ in Convex and Concave Lenses Convex Lens (Converging Lens) Concave Lens (Diverging Lens) 1. P–F Ray. A ray of light parallel to the principal axis is refracted passing through the principal focus, F behind the lens. 1. P–F Ray. A ray of light parallel to the principal axis is refracted as if passing through the principal focus, F in front of the lens. • Vertex, V – The geometric center of the lens. • Focal point/ Focus, F – A point where light rays converge (or appears to converge) when parallel light rays pass through a lens. Its distance from the vertex is called the focal length. Principal axis Principal axis
199 2. F–P Ray. A ray of light passing through the focus, F in front of the lens is refracted parallel to the principal axis. 2. F–P Ray. A ray of light directed towards the focus, F behind the lens is refracted parallel to the principal axis. 3. V Ray. A ray of light passing through the exact center of the lens (Vertex) continue to travel in the same direction. 3. V Ray. A ray of light passing through the exact center of the lens (Vertex) continue to travel in the same direction. To graphically determine the position and kind of the image formed, the ray diagram can be used. Consider the following steps using the three major rays described above: 1. From the object, draw the first ray (P–F ray). From the same point on the object, draw the second (F–P ray), and third (V ray) rays. 2. The intersection of the rays is the image point corresponding to the object point. For example, if you started diagramming from the tip of the arrow-shaped object, the intersection of the refracted rays is also the tip of the arrow-shaped image. Thus, you can determine com- pletely the position and characteristics of the image.
200 3. For a concave lens, light rays diverge from a virtual focus; but the procedure for locating images is the same as for convex lenses. In the next activity, you will use the steps described above to locate and describe the images formed by convex and concave lenses by graphical method. To do this, always start by drawing the lens and its principal axis, then identify the F and 2F on the principal axis. Next is to draw the object, then diagram the rays from the object. Activity 8 Are you L-O-S-T after Refraction? Objectives: • Construct ray diagrams for lenses. • Determine graphically the location, orientation, size, and type of image formed. • Show graphically the changes in the image formed as an object’s position is changed. Materials: • paper • ruler Procedure: 1. Copy each of the diagrams (A–H) below on a clear sheet of paper. Construct ray diagram using, as much as possible, the ‘three most useful rays’ for each of the following cases to determine the location, orientation, size, and type of the image.
201 Convex Lens A. B. C. D. E.
202 Concave Lens F. G. H. 2. Use a table similar to Table 9 below to summarize the characteristics and location of the images formed.

Refer to the size of object and the size of image from the drawn ray diagrams for convex lens. Identify the location of object for which the following optical instruments are used to. Match column A with column B. Column A Column B photocopy “Xerox” Machine At Infinity Camera Beyond 2F’ Telescope At 2F’ Projector Between 2F’ and F’ Magnifying Glass Between F’ and V Q23. Why is it impossible for a concave lens to form a real image?
204 The Lens Equation Ray diagram does not provide exact location and numerical information about the image formed in lenses, as in the image formed in curved mirrors through ray diagram. To determine the exact location and size of the image formed in lenses, a lens equation is needed. The following derivation shows the lens equation using the results from ray diagram. From the first and third rays, similar triangles are seen in the diagram. From the height of the object, h and the height of the image, h’ shown in Figure 20 (a), you can arrive at the first equation, Similarly, as shown in Figure 20(b), the second equation can be derived as Combining Equations 1 and 2, you will get (b)(a) Figure 20. Similar Triangles are Formed using the (a) first ray (P – F ray) and (b )third ray (V ray). Equation 1 Equation 2 Equation 3 Similar Triangles Similar Triangles
205 Rearranging Equation 3, you will arrive at and finally, where: f = focal length or distance from the mirror and the focal point,F p = distance of the object from the lens q = distance of the image from the lens The equation above, called mirror equation, applies to both convex and concave lenses. However, in the case of the concave lens, the image will always be located on the side where the object is also located. It is therefore considered that the value of image distance, q is negative. The focal length, f in a concave lens is negative while positive in a convex lens. Sample Problem: What is the image distance and image size if a 5.00-cm tall light bulb is placed a distance of 45.5 cm from a convex lens having a focal length of 15.4 cm? Given: h = 5.00 cm p = 45.5 cm f = 15.4 c Lens Equation
206 Find: d = ? q = ? To determine the image distance, the lens equation must be used. Since three of the four quantities in the magnification equation are known, the height of the image, h can be calculated. The negative values for image height indicate that the image is an inverted image. In the case of a concave lens, you found out that the image always appears in front the lens. It is therefore considered that the value of image distance, q is negative.
207 Sample Problem: What is the image distance and image size if a 3.00-cm tall light bulb is placed a distance of 30.5 cm from a diverging lens having a focal length of -10.2 cm? Given: h = 3.00 cm p = 30.5 cm f = -10.2 cm Find: q = ? h’ = ? To determine the image distance, the lens equation will be used. This confirms the image distance, q as negative. To determine the image height, the magnification equation is needed. Since three of the four quantities in the equation are known, the fourth quantity can be calculated. The solution is shown below.
208 Try solving this… 1. Determine the image distance and image height for a 8.00-cm tall object placed 46.5 cm from a convex lens having a focal length of 16.0 cm. 2. A 3.10-cm diameter coin is placed a distance of 25.0 cm from a concave lens that has a focal length of -11.0 cm. Determine the image distance and the diameter of the image. So far, you have learned two of the properties of light which are the reflection and refraction. You have gained concepts on the rules of reflection and refraction to describe and explain how the images are formed by mirrors and lenses. You also solved problems pertaining to the exact location and magnification of images formed by mirrors and lenses. In this last activity on Module 2, you will make use of these concepts you learned to improvise an optical device. You will be asked to plan, brainstorm, design, and construct one of the following optical devices. The Sign Conventions for Lenses • f is + if the lens is a double convex lens (converging lens) • f is - if the lens is a double concave lens (diverging lens) • q is + if the image is a real image and located behind the lens • q is - if the image is a virtual image and located on the object’s side of the lens • h’ is + if the image is an upright image (and therefore, also virtual) • h’ is - if the image an inverted image (and therefore, also real)

213 V. Summary/Synthesis/Feedback • Reflection is the bouncing of light when it hits a surface. • Two Laws of Reflection: o The normal line, incident ray, and the reflected ray lie on the same plane. o The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. • The reversal effect is the inversion of the image from left to right. • Mirrors at an angle produce multiple images. • Two Types of Reflection: o Specular/ Regular Reflection – reflection of light on smooth surfaces such as mirrors or a calm body of water.  o Diffuse/ Irregular Reflection – reflection of light on rough surfaces such as clothing, paper, and the asphalt roadway. • A curved mirror is a reflecting surface in which its surface is a section of a sphere. • Two Kinds of Spherical Mirrors: o The Concave Mirror or Converging Mirror o The Convex Mirror or Diverging Mirror • Important Points in Ray Diagramming: o Center of Curvature, C – the center of the sphere in which the mirror is part. Its distance from the mirror is known as the radius. o Vertex, V – the center of the mirror. o Focal Point/ Focus, F – the point between the center of curvature and vertex. Its distance from the mirror is known as the focal length, f. • The ‘Four Principal Rays’ in Curved Mirrors o The P – F Ray is ray of light parallel to the principal axis, is reflected passing through the principal focus, F (concave mirror), and as if passing through the principal focus, F(convex mirror). o The F – P Ray is a ray of light passing through F (concave mirror) or directed towards F (convex mirror), is reflected parallel to the principal axis. o The C – C Ray is ray of light passing through the center of curvature, C (concave mirror) or directed towards the center of curvature, C (convex mirror) reflects back along its own path.
214 o V Ray is a ray of light directed to the vertex reflects at equal angle from the principal axis • Mirror Equation: • A lens is a transparent material made of glass or plastic that refracts and focuses (or that appears to focus) light rays at a point. • Two Types of Lenses: o Convex Lens or Converging Lens o Concave Lens or Diverging Lens • The ‘Three Most Useful Rays’ in Lenses: o The P – F Ray is ray of light parallel to the principal axis is refracted passing through the principal focus, F behind the lens (convex) or as if passing through the principal focus, F in front of the lens (concave). o F – P Ray. A ray of light passing through F in front of the lens(convex) or directed towards F behind the lens(concave) is refracted parallel to the principal axis. o V Ray. A ray of light passing through the exact center of the lens (Vertex) continue to travel in the same direction. • The Lens Equation • The Magnification Equation

It produces a weak geomagnetic field that surrounds and partially protects us from solar radiations. In like manner, the moving charges within the Sun generate an eruption of radiations. This produces a solar magnetic field that spreads throughout the solar system and beyond. Moreover, a solar wind of charged particles constantly interacts with the Earth’s changing geomagnetic field. In Grade 8 Science, you learned some characteristics of heat, visible light, and electricity whereas in Grade 9 Science, you were introduced to the forms and sources of energy. You also learned how electrical energy is generated, transmitted, and distributed. Using the principles of forces, motion and energy, Unit 2 of Grade 10 Science which is intended for the second quarter, supports investigations on the electric, magnetic and electromagnetic phenomena all around us. Eventually, this unit will help you to understand the different electromagnetic waves commonly known as the EM spectrum with a final emphasis on the visible light. In Module 1, you will be reacquainted with basic magnetism and its relationship with electricity by exploring electric and magnetic fields surrounding devices made up of magnets and current-carrying conductors. Moreover, a detailed study of the characteristics of the EM spectrum in Module 2 will help you appreciate the relevant applications and effects of some of the EM waves to us and our environment. Lastly in Module 3, you will study the nature of light as it interacts with matter through reflection and refraction. There will be interesting activities on image formations using different mirrors and lenses. The chief goal of the activities in these modules is to acquaint you with the particular phenomenon in study, enable you to observe relationships between variables, help you to develop and communicate your tentative explanations of the phenomena or models, and lead you to further inquiry and deeper understanding.

(Audio-Visual Productions: I came, I saw, I conquered.) People readily adopt emerging technologies. The use of audiovisual (AV) works be it in film productions, in business displays, or perhaps in education innovations became a trend and it is here to stay. Examples abound like our growing love for the high quality audiovisual components we listen to and watch or the endeavor of school stakeholders to provide projection technology in every classroom. The rise of it all AV production, recording, and storing technology and industries were made possible because of the discovery of the link between electricity and magnetism.

More Reading Support on Recording Technology: In the development of the recording and data storage technology, what questions might engineers ask? Think of some questions by now about recording technology. Can handy mobile phones or digital cameras serve as audio-visual recorder and producer? How do these devices apply electromagnetic induction? To understand electromagnetic induction and its applications especially on electric motors and generators, the next set of activities will help you revisit concepts about magnets and forces associated with it, checking polarities, and analyzing magnetic fields. KEY CONCEPTS • Many of the recording technology are founded entirely or partially on the relationship between electricity and magnetism known as electromagnetic induction. • Devices that detect and convert audio inputs to electric outputs or vice versa are called transducers. Most transducers like microphones and speakers use the “generator effect” characterized by the production of forces due to a changing electric signal within a magnetic field or a changing field near a current-carrying conductor.

Extension Question: What will happen to a magnet if it is dropped too often? ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS A Look Back in History: In 1819, Hans Christian Oersted (ˈƏr-stəd), a professor in the University of Copenhagen, discovered during a class demonstration that a current carrying wire caused a nearby magnetized compass needle to deflect. This observation fired up tremendous research on electromagnetism. As a result, the effect on the motion of conductors placed within a magnetic field (such as in the operation of electric motors) was also experimented much and paved the way for practical electricity. Twelve years after this discovery, Michael Faraday (ˈFer-ə-dā) conducted his famous induction ring experiment showing that current can be produced by sources of changing magnetic fields. This is the key principle to practical generation of electricity. The next activities should help you demonstrate and explain the operation of electric motors and electric generators that basically work because of the existing relationship between magnetism and electricity. KEY CONCEPTS • Materials which are attracted by a magnet are known as magnetic materials. Iron, cobalt, nickel and many alloys of these metals like steel and alnico are magnetic. • Magnetic materials can be used to make permanent or temporary magnets unlike the non-magnetic materials which cannot. • Stroking is one way of magnetization.

In your own words, what are the factors that affect the amount of current and hence voltage (EMF) induced in a conductor by a changing magnetic field? Q54. An equation for the electromagnetic force (EMF) induced in a wire by a magnetic field is EMF = BLv, where B is magnetic field, L is the length of the wire in the magnetic field, and v is the velocity of the wire with respect to the field. How do the results in this activity support this equation. 11. Extending Inquiry. The principle of electromagnetic induction in two nearby coils can be demonstrated by a transformer. A typical transformer has two coils of insulated wire wound around an iron core. This device changes the AC voltage of the primary coil by inducing an increased or decreased EMF in the secondary coil. In practical applications, why does this device operate only on alternating current and not on direct current? Additional Reading Speed Control Technology – To ensure road safety and minimize vehicular-related death, buses, and other public utility vehicles can be equipped with a speed control device that limits the maximum speed by using electro- magnetic brakes in combination with a motor once the limit is exceeded. Speed control motor packages include the motor, the driver (controller), and a potentiometer which allows the driver for easy speed control adjustment. When the speed of this motor is controlled, a tacho-generator connected to the motor detects the speed. It is a magnet connected directly to the motor shaft and stator coil. The stator coil detects the magnetic field and generates an alternating current (AC) voltage.
  • 51. 126 Figure 23. Motor speed control technology diagram Since this voltage and frequency increase with a rise of the rotational speed, the rotational speed of the motor is controlled based on this signal. Traffic Light – Vehicles waiting at intersections with coils buried underneath is within an electromagnetic field. Changes in the field activate the traffic light as programmed. Typical red-light traffic systems have two induction-loop triggers made of rectangular or concentric wire loops buried under the road close to the stop line. This wire is connected to an electrical power source and a meter. Figure 24. An induction-loop traffic system at a road intersection senses vehicles within its electromagnetic fields The current through the wire produces a magnetic field affecting objects around the loop and the loop itself. When there is another conductive material within the magnetic field, then a changing induced voltage is detected. This results to changing magnetic flux that triggers the traffic system according to its programmed mechanism.
  • 52. 127 Metal Detector – Metal detectors trigger the “Bleep! Bleep! Bleep!” sound when objects with parts that are magnetic in nature move past it. This signal a precious find, a hidden unwanted object or a need for further security check. Figure 25. A basic pulse-electromagnetic induction metal detection technique The transmitter coil is given a pulsed current long enough for the transmitter’s magnetic field to reach the metal target. The transmitter’s loop current is then turned off. The changing or collapsing magnetic field induces an electromotive force that induce charges to flow in the metal target. This induced current creates a reradiated magnetic field that can be detected by a receiver coil located at the sensor. In some metal detectors, it is the device that is moved over the object. In other detectors, it is the object or the person that moves pass the machine. Whatever is the case, the current-carrying transmitting coil creates a changing magnetic field which in turn creates a changing electric field that creates the secondary magnetic field detected by the receiver coil. Induction Stove – Food cooks faster when heat is conducted directly and almost entirely at the base of the cooking pot. In induction stoves, current flowing through the copper coil wound underneath the cooking surface produces an electromagnetic field small enough to surround the base of the cooking pot. The magnetic field induces an electric current within the base of the metal pot. The metal in the cookware has electrical resistance that opposes the induced current and causes friction for the pot to heat up.

  • 56. 131 V. Summary/Synthesis/Feedback • Many of the audio-video recording technology apply the relationship between electricity and magnetism known as electromagnetic induction. • A typical recording studio consists of an audio-video console, microphones, computers, studio monitors or speakers, disc players and cables used for the exchange of audio and digital data signal during production, recording, mixing, and even editing of all audio-video elements digitally stored on disk drives. • Devices that detect and convert audio inputs to electric outputs or vice versa are called transducers. Most transducers like microphones and speakers use the “generator effect” characterized by the production of electromotive forces due to either a changing electric signal within a magnetic field or a changing magnetic field near a current-carrying conductor. • Magnetism is commonly attributed to ferromagnetism and electromagnetism depending on the material and moving charges. Every atom and all moving charges are in constant motion and therefore has a bit of magnetism due to magnetic spins and domains creating a net magnetic field. • A magnet has two magnetic poles (north and south seeking poles). • Stroking with a permanent magnet is one of the ways to induce or cause magnetism in an object that can be magnetized. The polarity of the induced magnetism in the object is opposite to the polarity of the nearer end of the permanent magnet. Attraction happens after magnetic induction occurs. • A magnet attracts, but do not repel, unmagnetized ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, cobalt and some of its alloys like steel and alnico. • Both forces of attraction and repulsion is possible between magnets and between a magnet and a temporarily magnetized object. • A magnetic field surrounds a magnet. Within this region, the magnet affects another magnet and other objects that can be magnetized. • The magnetic field is strongest at the poles where the magnetic lines of induction (flux) are closest. The magnetic field pattern can be shown using iron filings that align along magnetic lines of induction. • The magnetic lines of induction leave the north-pole and enter the south-pole in close loops and can be indicated by the north pole of a compass.
  • 57. 132 • The loops of magnetic field lines between like poles bend away from each other showing a force of repulsion. The lines between unlike poles join with each other to form continuous lines showing a force of attraction. • The earth acts like a giant bar magnet and has a magnetic field similar to it. • A charge has an electric field around it where other charges will experience an electromagnetic force. Like charges repel while unlike charges attract. • Moving charges or current in a wire produces a magnetic field. • An electromagnet is a coil of wire that uses current to produce a strong magnetic field. • The magnetic field patterns of a disk magnet, an electromagnetic nail, a current carrying straight conductor, and a current carrying coil are similar to that of the single bar magnet. • The magnetic field pattern between the poles of a U-shaped magnet resembles the field pattern between unlike poles of two bar magnets. Compasses aligned along the magnetic field show that the lines point from the north to the south poles and back forming close loops. • If the two bar magnets with two unlike poles which are close in between is brought together, the magnetic field pattern will resemble that of the single bar magnet. Lines from one pole enter the other pole. • Most refrigerator magnets has a pattern of alternating bands of magnetic field. • If the direction of the current is known, the direction of the magnetic field that is perpendicular to it and the magnetic force that is perpendicular to both current and magnetic field can be determined by applying the hand rules. • Using the right hand rule, the direction of the magnetic field follows the direction of the right hand fingers when the right thumb points in the direction of the conventional current (from positive to negative). • Using the left-hand rule, the direction of the magnetic field follows the direction of the left hand fingers when the left thumb points in the direction of the real flow of current (from negative to positive). • The magnetic field is strongest at the center of a current-carrying coil.
  • 58. 133 • The magnetic field increases in direct proportion to the number of turns in a coil with the compass needle, at the center of the coil of wire, deflecting about a wider angle than the compass needle along the straightened wire. • The end of the current-carrying coil where the magnetic lines of induction come out acts as the north pole of the coil. • A magnetic field exerts a force on a current-carrying conductor. Using the right-hand rule, the direction of this force is in the direction where the palm faces. • The motor effect is shown when a current-carrying conductor within a magnetic field moves in the direction of the force. The force on a moving current- carrying conductor may be varied by changing the magnetic field. • An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy into rotational mechanical energy. A simple DC motor can be assembled using a single coil that rotates in a magnetic field. The direct current in the coil is supplied via two brushes. The forces exerted on the current-carrying wire creates a rotation-causing force on the coil. • An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. A simple electric generator is made when a coil or any closed loop of conductor moves through or cuts across magnetic field lines. The coil will experience an induced voltage or an electromotive force that will cause a pulsating direct current (DC) to be generated. The pulsating direct current fluctuates in value but does not change direction. • Electromagnetic induction is a process in which electric current is generated in a conductor by a moving or changing magnetic field. • A changing magnetic field occurs when there is relative motion between a source of a magnetic field and a conductor; it does not matter which moves. • A changing magnetic field may also arise from a changing nearby current. • The amount of voltage (EMF) induced when a conductor and a magnetic field are in relative motion depends on (a) the length L of the conductor or the number of turns in the coil, (b) the strength and orientation of the magnetic field B relative to the conductor, and (c) The relative velocity v of the changing magnetic field.
  • 59. 134 • The equation for the induced voltage or electromagnetic force (EMF) in a wire by a changing magnetic field is EMF = BLv. By Ohm’s Law the amount of induced current is directly proportional to the induced voltage. • A transformer uses electromagnetic induction in two nearby coils (the primary and secondary coils). Typically, the two coils of insulated wire are wound around an iron core. This device changes the AC voltage of the primary coil by inducing an increased or decreased EMF in the secondary coil. VI.

  • 71. 146 The Electric and Magnetic Fields Together Accelerating electrons produce electromagnetic waves. These waves are a combination of electric and magnetic fields. A changing magnetic field produces an electric field and a changing electric field produces a magnetic field. As accelerated electrons produce an electric field of a wave, the varying electric field produces the wave’s magnetic field. Both the electric field and the magnetic field oscillate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of the propagating wave. Figure 1. Electromagnetic Wave All electromagnetic waves can travel through a medium but unlike other types of waves, they can also travel in vacuum. They travel in vacuum at a speed of 3X108 m/s and denoted as c, the speed of light. The wave speed, frequency, and wavelength are related by the following equation: v=λf where v is the wave speed, or c (speed of light) expressed in meters per second, the frequency f is expressed in Hertz and the wavelength λ is expressed in meters. Since all the EM waves have the same speed and that is equal to the speed of light, as wavelength decreases, the frequency of the wave increases. Through the years, the advancement on the knowledge about electromagnetic waves led us to a modern technological world.
  • 72. 147 Example Problems: (Assume that the waves propagate in a vacuum.) 1. What is the frequency of radio waves with wavelength of 20 m? Given: v= c = 3X108 m/s λ= 20 m f= ? v=c=λf f=c/λ = 3X108 m/s 20 m = 1.5 X107 Hz 2. What is the frequency of light waves with wavelength of 5 X 10-7 m? Given: v= c = 3X108 m/s λ= 5 X 10-7 m f= ? v=c=λf f=c/λ = 3X108 m/s 5X10-7 m = 6 X1014 Hz Check your understanding! Are these statements true? If not, correct them. 1. Electromagnetic waves transfer energy through vacuum. 2. A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy. 3. Most EM waves are invisible and undetectable. The Electromagnetic Spectrum The electromagnetic spectrum is a continuum of electromagnetic waves arranged according to frequency and wavelength. It is a gradual progression from the waves of lowest frequencies to the waves of highest frequencies. According to increasing frequency, the EM spectrum includes: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. These waves do not have exact dividing region. The different types of electromagnetic waves are defined by the amount of energy carried by/possessed by the photons. Photons are bundles of wave energy. The energy of a photon is given by the equation: E=hf where h is the Planck’s Constant and f is the frequency of the EM wave. The value of the Planck’s constant is 6.63 x 10-34 joules per second. From among the EM waves, the gamma rays have photons of high energies while radio waves have photons with the lowest energies. With regards to wavelength, radio waves can be likened to the size of a football field while gamma rays are as small as the nuclei of an atom.

  • 76. 151 Radio waves have a very wide range of wavelengths. The whole region of the radio waves is divided into smaller regions or wavebands. Each waveband is allocated by law to a specific radio service. The wavelengths and frequencies of the different wavebands and their uses are shown in Table 2. Table 2.

But the curvature of the earth limits the range to about 80 kilometers. To extend the range, a repeater is used. The repeater receives the signal and re-transmits it to the receiving station. High frequency waves can be reflected by the ionosphere. This enables the waves to be transmitted over great distances.
  • 77. 152 Medium and high frequency waves are used for broadcasting by local radio stations. In a radio station, sound is converted by a microphone into patterns of electric current variations called audio-frequency (AF) signals. High frequency radio waves called radio-frequency (RF) carriers can be modulated to match the electronic signal. In amplitude modulation, the amplitude of the radio waves (RF carrier) changes to match that of the audio-frequency signal. This is used in standard broadcasting because it can be sent over long distances. Very high frequency waves provide a higher quality broadcasting including stereo sound. In this process, instead of the amplitude of the RF carrier, it is the frequency of the waves that changes to match that of the signal. This is called frequency modulation. Try the next activity to learn about the production, transmission and reception of radio waves. Activity 3 Sound check… Adapted from: Littell, McDougal Science.

  • 80. 155 Microwaves Microwaves have smaller wavelengths than radio waves. They are used in satellite communications, radar, television transmission and cooking. Applications of Microwaves Satellite Communications Microwaves can penetrate the atmosphere of the earth. This is the reason why they are used for satellite communications. Communication satellites travel around the earth at an altitude of 35, 000 km above the equator. They move at a speed of 11 300 km/h and revolve around the earth every 24 hours, the same rate as the rotation of the earth. This makes them appear to be stationary when seen on Earth. Antennae are mounted to point in fixed directions towards these satellites. Microwaves signals are transmitted by an antenna to a satellite which amplifies and re-transmits the signal to an antenna in other parts of the world. This is how we communicate with the rest of the world. http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Navigation/Galileo_satellite_set_for_new_orbit Figure 4.

  • 81. 156 Microwaves have short wavelengths and are reflected by small objects. This property is used in radars. Radar is the acronym of radio detection and ranging. A radar system is consists of an antenna, transmitter, and a receiver. The antenna whirls around continuously to scan the surrounding area. The transmitter sends out a narrow beam of microwaves in short pulses. A distant object reflects some of the signal back to the receiver. The direction to which the signal was received gives the direction of the object. The distance of the object can be calculated from the time lag between the transmitted pulse and the reflected pulse. Terrestrial Communication Microwaves are used to transmit television news coverage from mobile broadcast vehicles back to the station. The news crew can also set up a small antenna to send signals to a communication satellite. This is how news are broadcasted and watched live around the world. Figure 6. A Television set A cell phone is a radio transmitter and receiver that uses microwaves. Cellular phones depend on overlapping network of cells or areas of land several kilometres in diameter. Each cell has its tower that receives and sends microwave signals. The figure below will give you further understanding on the process. Figure 7.

What do you think exists just beyond the red part of the spectrum? Q13. Discuss any other observations or problems. Infrared Infrared radiation lies beyond the red end of the visible light. It is emitted by all objects. The amount and wavelength of radiation depend on temperature. Below 500oC, an object emits only infrared radiation. Above 500oC, an object glows and emits both infrared and some visible light. Our bodies radiate infrared and under infrared camera or a night vision goggle, our images appear in variety of colors.The differences in color determine the differences in temperature. For example, shades of blue and green indicate regions of colder temperature; and red and yellow indicate warmer temperature.

Notice that the dog’s nose is cold while the eyes and mouth areas are warm. The following are some useful applications of IR radiation: 1. Infrared photographs taken from a satellite with special films provide useful details of the vegetation on the Earth’s surface. 2. Infrared scanners are used to show the temperature variation of the body. This can be used for medical diagnosis. 3. Infrared remote controls are used in TVs, video, cassette recorders, and other electronic appliances. 4. Some night-vision goggles use IR. 5. Some autofocus cameras have transmitter that sends out infrared pulses. The pulses are reflected by the object to be photographed back to the camera. The distance of the object is calculated by the time lag between the sending and receiving of pulses. The lens is then driven by a built-in motor to adjust to get the correct focus of the object.
  • 85. 160 The Visible Spectrum Whenwhitelightpassesthroughaprism,itisseparatedintoitsconstituent colors: the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. These colors do not distinctly separate but they continuously change from red to violet. Red color has the longest wavelength from among these colors and violet has the shortest. Figure 10. The Visible Spectrum Our eyes are sensitive to electromagnetic waves of wavelengths that ranges from 4x10-7 m to 7x10-7 m. This is the range of wavelengths of white light. Thus, the spectrum of white light is therefore called the visible spectrum. Table 3 shows the wavelengths of the different colors that constitute the white light. Table 3. The Wavelength of the Different Colors of Light Color Wavelength (nm) Violet - Indigo 390 to 455 Blue 455 to 492 Green 492 to 577 Yellow 577 to 597 Orange 597 to 622 Red 622 to 700 The next activity introduces the next part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Perform this activity to have a deeper understanding about this kind of EM wave. This activity should be done early in the morning so as to expose the material throughout the day.

How does this realization impact to your personal life? Extension Activity: For a more noticeable result, continue exposing the material for several days. Perform the same activity during a cloudy day or inside the house. Observe and compare the degree of effect to that during a bright sunny day. Ultraviolet Radiation Ultraviolet radiation lies just beyond the violet end of the visible spectrum. Ultraviolet waves have shorter wavelengths than the visible light and carry more energy.
  • 87. 162 Some Uses of UV Radiation The sun is our main source of ultraviolet radiation but there are also artificial sources of UV light. Ultraviolet radiation in UV lamps are used by banks to check the signature on a passbook. The signature is marked on the passbook with fluorescent ink. It becomes visible when viewed under an ultraviolet lamp. These lamps are also used to identify fake banknotes. Ultraviolet radiation is also used in sterilizing water from drinking fountains. Some washing powder also contains fluorescent chemicals which glow in sunlight. This makes your shirt look whiter than white in daylight. Ultraviolet radiation in sunlight produces vitamin D in the skin and gives us tanning effect. But since UV rays have high energy, it could be harmful to some extent. It could burn the skin and hurt our eyes. Overexposure to UV radiation may cause skin cancer. Suntan or sunscreen lotions serve as filters to protect the body from ultraviolet radiation. X-rays X-rays come just after the ultraviolet rays. They are of shorter wavelength but carries higher energy than the UV. X-rays are produced using an X-ray tube. They are emitted when fast moving electrons hit a metal target. X-rays were discovered by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in 1895. LongwavelengthX-rayscanpenetrate the flesh but not the bones. They are used in X-ray photography to help doctors look inside the body. They are useful in diagnosing bone fractures and tumors. Figure 11. An X-ray film Short wavelength X-rays can penetrate even through metals. They are used in industry to inspect welded joints for faults. All X-rays are dangerous because they can damage healthy living cells of the body. This is the reason why frequent exposure to X-rays should be avoided. Too much exposure to X-rays can damage body tissues and can cause cancer.
  • 88. 163 Gamma Rays Gamma rays lie at the other end of the electromagnetic spectrum. They are shortest in wavelength and highest in frequency. They carry the highest amount of energy, thus, they are more dangerous. Gamma rays are emitted by stars and some radioactive substances. They can only be blocked with lead and thick concrete. Gamma rays are very strong that they can kill living cells. Gamma rays are used to treat cancer through the process called radiotherapy. They are also used for sterilization of drinking water. V.

Did you ever wonder why it is written that way? You will find the answers to these questions as you go through this module. Try the following activity to study one of the properties of light. Activity 1 Mirror, mirror, on the wall… Objectives: • Determine the height, width, and the distance from the mirror of the image formed by plane mirrors. • Compare the actual height, width and the distance from the mirror of the object with that of the image formed by plane mirror.

Record your data in a table similar to Table 1 below. 4. Look at the images of the marks formed by the mirror. Measure the distance of each image from the mirror by counting the number of parallel lines between the image and the base of the mirror. Record this also in Table 1. Table 1.

Stack 10 pieces of one-peso coin in front of the plane mirror as in Figure 2. Using a ruler, measure the height and width of the stack of coins. Measure also the height and width of the image as seen on the mirror. Enter your measurements in a table similar to Table 2. Figure 2. Stack of Coins In front of the Plane Mirror Table 2. Height and Width of Object and Image Description Object Image Height (cm) Width (cm) Q2. How do the height and width of the object compare with the height and width of the image?
  • 100. 175 Reflection is the bouncing off of light rays when it hits a surface like a plane mirror. In the activity, you used plane mirrors and located the object distance, p and the image distance, q and found out that p is equal to q. In plane mirrors, the image appears as if it is behind the mirror but actually not, so the image is virtual. The value therefore of image distance, q is negative. The height of the image, h’ in plane mirrors is always the same as the height of the object, thus its magnification, M is 1. The magnification formula is written below: To learn more about reflection of light in plane mirrors, try the next activity. However, here are some important terms which you need to understand first. Incident Ray. The ray of light approaching the mirror represented by an arrow approaching an optical element like mirrors. Reflected Ray. The ray of light which leaves the mirror and is represented by an arrow pointing away from the mirror. Normal Line. An imaginary line (labeled N in Figure 3) that can be drawn perpendicular to the surface of the mirror at the point of incidence where the ray strikes the mirror. The angle between the incident ray and the normal line is known as the angle of incidence, Өi . The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is known as the angle of reflection, Өr . Figure 3. Reflection of a Light Ray on a Plane Mirror
  • 101. 176 Activity 2 Angle of Incidence vs. Angle of Reflection Objectives: • Compare the angle of reflection and the angle of incidence. • State one of the laws of reflection. Materials: • 1 plane mirror • 1 low – frequency laser/ laser pen/laser pointer • 1 paper protractor (see Appendix A) Procedure: 1. Let the mirror stand vertically along the edge of the paper protractor as shown in Figure 4. Use the clay to support the plane mirror. Figure 4. A Plane mirror on a paper protractor 2. Position the laser beam such that it hits the mirror at an angle of 10o with the normal line. Measure the angle between the reflected ray and the normal line. Record your measurement in a table similar to Table 3. 3. Make three trials and get the average. 4. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for angles 20o , 30o , 40o , and 50o . Enter all your measurements in Table 3. Table 3. Angles of Incidence and Reflection Angle of Incidence Angle of Reflection Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3 Ave. 10o 20o 30o 40o 50o
  • 102. 177 Q3. How does the angle of incidence compare with the angle of reflection? Q4. A periscope is an instrument for observation over, around or through an obstacle. Explain how light travels in a periscope. Diagram the light rays as these pass through the periscope. In the activity, you found out that the angle of incidence (Өi ) is equal to the angle of reflection (Өr ). In symbols: Өi = Өr This is one of the laws of reflection. The other law states that: “The normal line, incident ray, and the reflected ray lie on the same plane.” Reflection of light is employed significantly in making optical instruments like periscopes. Periscopes allow sea navigators in a submarine to see the surface of the water. Try the next activity to further investigate the reflection of light in plane mirrors Activity 3 Mirror Left-Right Reversal Objectives: • Describe the images formed by plane mirror. • Show an understanding of reversal effect in mirrors by writing laterally inverted letters and words.

Identify all capital letters in the alphabet that can be read properly in front of the mirror. 2. Write at least 3 words (all in capital letters) that can be read properly both with a mirror and without a mirror in front of it.
  • 103. 178 Q5. What are the letters of the alphabet (in capital) that can be read properly in front of a mirror? Q6. Think of words (in capital letters) that can be read properly both with a mirror and without a mirror. What are these words? Q7. Write the sentence below on a clear sheet of paper in such a way that it can be read properly in front of a mirror: Honesty is the best policy. Mirror Left-Right Reversal Figure 5 shows a girl combing her hair with her left hand. However, in her image, you will notice that she is combing her hair with her right hand. This effect is known as the mirror left-right reversal. The left side of the object appears as the right side of the image and the right side appears as the left. This also explains why the word “AMBULANCE” in an am- bulance car is flipped. Do the next activity to learn more about reflection of light, this time using two plane mirrors. You will explore how the angle between two plane mirrors affects the number of images formed. Activity 4 Who wants to be a Millionaire? Objectives: • Identify the relationship between the number of images formed and the angle between the two mirrors. • Use the gathered data to derive the formula for determining the number of images formed when two mirrors are kept at a certain angle.

What relationship exists between the number of images formed and the angle between two mirrors? Q10. Use the data in Table 4 to derive the formula for determining the number of images formed by two mirrors? Q11. How should the mirrors be arranged such that an infinite number of images will be formed or seen?
  • 105. 180 Multiple Images Have you seen a lot of money in your previous activity? Multiple images are formed by the reflection that happens when arranging at least two mirrors. Figure 7 shows three images of a toy car in front of two mirrors at 90o . The number of images, N, can be determined using the formula N = (360/angle between the mirror) -1. Parallel mirrors on the other hand produce infinite number of images. Reflection not only happens on a smooth surface like plane mirrors, but also happens on rough surfaces. This is why reflection is classified into two types. Types of Reflection: 1. Specular/ Regular Reflection. This is a reflection of light on smooth surfaces such as mirrors or a calm body of water. An example of this is the image of the Mayon volcano on a calm water shown in Figure 8b. (a) (b) Sources: http://www.orcagrowfilm.com/Articles.asp?ID=148 & http://www.wallpaperup. com/225284/landscape_nature_trees_mountain_Mount_Mayon_Philippines_Luzon_ reflection_volcano_g.html Figure 8. Specular Reflection. (a) Parallel light rays reflect in one direction (b) Mayon Volcano and its reflection on calm water 2. Diffused/Irregular Reflection. This is a reflection of light on rough surfaces such as clothing, paper, wavy water, and the asphalt roadway. An example of this is the image of a mountain on a wavy body of water as shown in Figure 9b. Figure 7. Multiple Images Formed by Two Plane Mirrors at 90o Angle

Diffused Reflection. (a) Parallel light rays reflect in different directions. (b) A mountain and its reflection on wavy water The following lesson presents a specular/ regular reflection (because it happens on a smooth surface) but the reflected rays do not follow one direction. Why is that so? Let us find out. Reflection on Spherical Mirrors Look at your reflection on a shiny metal spoon. Is your reflection the same on the two surfaces of the spoon? How will you compare your reflection on the two surfaces of the spoon? This is a reflection on curved mirrors. A curved mirror is a reflecting surface in which its surface is a section of sphere. There are two kinds of curved mirrors, the concave and the convex mirrors. A spoon is a kind of a curved mirror with both concave and convex surfaces. Two Kinds of Spherical Mirrors: 1. The Concave Mirror • It is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges away from the light source. • It is called Converging Mirror because the parallel incident rays converge or meet/intersect at a focal point after reflection. Figure 10. Parallel rays converge after reflection on a concave mirror
  • 107. 182 2. The Convex Mirror • It is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges towards the light source. • It is called Diverging Mirror because the parallel incident rays diverge after reflection. When extending the reflected rays behind the mirror, the rays converge at the focus behind the mirror. To know more about curved mirrors and how images are formed when objects are placed in front of them, try Activity 5 below. Activity 5 Images Formed by Curved Mirrors Objective: Describe the location, size, and orientation of the images formed by curved mirrors. Materials: • Improvised optical bench apparatus • Curved mirror (concave and convex) • Mirror stand • Screen or white cardboard • Flashlight • Meter stick • Sheet of paper (colored black) Procedure: 1. Cut a U-shaped object from a cartolina with a size that fits the glass cover of the flashlight. Attach the U-shaped object to the cover of the flashlight. Refer to Figure 12. Figure 11.

  • 109. 184 Q12. What happens to the size and location of the image when you bring the flashlight nearer to the concave mirror? 8. Repeat steps 3, 5, and 7 using a convex mirror. This time, you will not use the screen. Look through the convex mirror to see the image. Q13. What is the generalization from the nature of images formed by convex mirror and concave mirror? This activity is adapted from Lesson Plans in Science IV, Unit II Energy in the Environment, Activity 2.5 Images Formed by Curved Mirrors. In Activity 5 using a concave mirror, you observed that images formed on the screen are inverted. Images formed on a screen, after reflection, are called real images because they are formed by the intersection of real reflected rays. A virtual image, on the other hand, does not form on a screen because a virtual image is formed by the intersection of non-real rays. Images Formed by Curved Mirrors In locating the image formed in curved mirror graphically, three important points are considered. The following important points are enumerated below. (a) Figure 14. Curved Mirrors (a) Concave Mirror (b) Convex Mirror (b) • Center of Curvature, C - the center of the sphere of which the mirror is part. Its distance from the mirror is known as the radius. • Vertex, V - the center of the mirror. • Focal Point/ Focus, F - the point between the center of the curvature and vertex. Its distance from the mirror is known as the focal length, f. Principal axis Principal axis
  • 110. 185 The ‘Four Principal Rays’ in Curved Mirrors Images formed in a curved mirror can be located and described through ray diagramming. The P – F ray, F – P ray, C – C ray, and the V ray are the ‘Four Principal Rays’ in curve mirrors. These rays, applied for concave and convex mirrors, are presented in Table 5. Table 5.

A ray of light directed towards the center of curvature, C reflects back along its own path. 4. V Ray. A ray of light directed to the vertex reflects at equal angle from the principal axis 4. V Ray. A ray of light directed to the vertex reflects at equal angle from the principal axis. In determining the position and nature of the image graphically, the ‘Four Principal Rays’ are used. Ray diagramming is used in the graphical method of locating the image. The following are ray diagramming steps using the ‘Four Principal Rays’ in determining the position and the nature of the image of an object formed by concave mirror and convex mirror. 1. From the object, draw the first ray (P – F ray). From the same point on the object, draw the second (F – P ray), third (C – C ray), and fourth (V ray) rays. 2. The intersection of the four rays is the image point corresponding to the object point. For example, if you started diagramming from the tip of the arrow-shaped object, the intersection of the reflected rays is also the tip of the arrow-shaped image. Thus, you can determine completely the position and characteristics of the image. actual reflected ray imaginary extension of the reflected ray imaginary extension of the reflected ray actual reflected ray
  • 112. 187 3. For a convex mirror, light rays diverge after reflection and converge from a point that seems to be behind the mirror (virtual focus); but the procedure for locating images is the same as for concave mirror. In the next activity, you will use the steps described above to locate and describe the images formed by concave and convex mirrors through graphical method. To do this, always start by drawing the curved mirror and its principal axis, then identify the F and C on the principal axis. Next is to draw the object then diagram the rays from the object. Activity 6 Are you L-O-S-T after Reflection? Objective: Construct ray diagrams to determine the location, orientation, size, and type of images formed by curved mirror.

Why do they use such kind of mirror? This activity, which you have just performed is more detailed on the location, orientation, size, and type of the images formed. Did this activity in curved mirrors confirm your observations in the previous activity (Activity 5)?
  • 115. 190 The Mirror Equation Ray diagrams provide useful information about the image formed, yet fail to provide the information in a quantitative form. Ray diagrams will help you determine the approximate location and size of the image, but it will not provide you with the numerical information about image distance and object size. To determine the exact location and size of the image formed in a curved mirror, an equation is needed. The following derivation shows the mirror equation using the Figure 15 below. From the first and fourth rays, similar triangles are seen in the figure below. From the height of the object, h and the height of the image, h’ shown in Fig. 15 (a), you can arrive at the first equation, Similarly, as shown in Fig. 15 (b), the second equation can be derived as Combining Equations 1 and 2, you will get (a) (b) Figure 15. Similar Triangles Formed using the (a) first ray (P – F ray) and (b ) fourth ray (V ray). Equation 1 Equation 2 Equation 3
  • 116. 191 Rearranging Equation 3, you will arrive at and finally, where: f = focal length or distance from the mirror and the focal point, F p = distance of the object from the mirror q = distance of the image from the mirror The equation above, called mirror equation, applies to both concave and convex mirrors. However, for all location of objects in front of the convex mirror, the image always appears as if it is located behind the mirror. It is therefore considered that the value of image distance, q is negative. In the same manner, the focus, F in a convex mirror is located on the other side of the mirror (behind the mirror), thus, the focal length, f is also negative. Sample Problem: A 5.00-cm tall light bulb is placed at a distance of 45.0 cm from a concave mirror having a focal length of 10.5 cm. Determine the image distance and the image size. Given: height of the object, h = 5.00 cm distance of the object, p = 45.0 cm focal point, f = 10.5 cm Find: distance of the image, q = ? height of the image, h’ = ? Mirror Equation
  • 117. 192 The mirror equation must be used to determine the distance of the image, q. To determine the image height, the magnification equation is needed. Since three of the four quantities in the equation are known, the fourth quantity can be calculated. The negative value for image height indicates that the image is an inverted image. Try solving this… 1. What is the image distance and image height if a 7.00-cm tall object is placed 30.0 cm from a concave mirror having a focal length of 10.0 cm? 2. A magnified, inverted image is located a distance of 30.0 cm from a concave mirror with a focal length of 15.0 cm. What is the object distance?
  • 118. 193 Sample Problem: What is the focal length of a convex mirror that produces an image that appears 15.0 cm behind the mirror when the object is 27.5 cm from the mirror? Given: q = -15.0 cm p = 27.5 cm Find: f = ? To determine the focal length, f, the mirror equation will be used. Substitute and solve for f. The negative value for focal length confirms that the mirror used is a convex mirror. Try solving this… 3. An object is placed 33.7 cm from the convex mirror with a focal length of 10.7 cm. Determine the image distance. 4. A 7.0-cm tall light bulb is placed a distance of 37.5 cm from a convex mirror having a focal length of -12.5 cm. Determine the image distance and the image size.
  • 119. 194 Refraction of Light in Lenses You learned in Grade 8 that Refraction is the bending of light when it travels from one medium to another of different optical densities. The ancient Greeks used the concept of light refraction in their living like using a lens to focus light rays. A lens is a transparent material made of glass or plastic that refracts light rays and focuses (or appear to focus) them at a point. Types of Lenses 1. Convex Lens Figure 16. Convex Lens. (a) Parallel light rays converge after refraction. (b) A converging lens magnifying the words from a book • It is thicker in the center than edges. • It forms real images and virtual images depending on position of the object. • It is also called Converging Lens because the light that passes through it tends to converge at a particular point called the focal point. The Sign Conventions for Mirror • f is positive (+) if the mirror is a concave mirror • f is negative (-) if the mirror is a convex mirror • q is (+) if the image is a real image and located on the object’s side of the mirror. • q is (-) if the image is a virtual image and located behind the mirror • h’ is (+) if the image is an upright image • h’ is (-) if the image an inverted image (a) (b)

Objectives: • Measure the focal length and linear magnification of a convex lens. • Locate the image formed by convex lens. • Describe the image formed by a convex lens. Materials: • convex lens or magnifying glass • lens holder e.g. clay • meterstick • index card Procedure: 1. Hold the convex lens under a ceiling light. A projection screen (e.g. the floor or the surface table) should be placed under the convex lens. 2. Move the convex lens up and down until a sharp image of the ceiling light is projected on the screen. 3. Measure the distance between the lens and the projection surface using a ruler. Q17. What is the focal length of the convex lens? • It is thicker at the edges and thinner in the center. • It forms upright and reduced images. • It is also called Diverging Lens because the light that passes through it tends to diverge at a particular point called the focal point.

  • 121. 196 Q18. How would you describe the image formed if a distant object is used? 4. Mount the convex lens on a clay. Draw a U–shaped object on an index card and mount the index card on another clay. Initially place the index card beside the zero (0) mark on the meter stick, and place the lens in front of the index card as shown in Figure 18a below: 5. Look through the lens and move the lens until you can clearly see an enlarged and upright image of the U-shaped object as shown in Fig. 18b below. 6. Measure the distance between the convex lens and the card using a meter stick. Record your observation on the second column of a table similar to Table 7. 7. Measure the distance between the lens and your eye. Record your observation on the third column of a table similar to Table 7. 8. Move again the convex lens back and forth, until you can clearly see, this time, an enlarged and inverted image of the U-shaped object. Then, repeat steps 6 and 7. 9. Move again the convex lens so that you can clearly see a reduced and upside down image of the U-shaped object. Repeat steps 6 and 7. Figure 18a. Set-up for Lens Experiment Figure 18 b.

Distances from the Lens of Object and your Eye Description of Image Distance between the Object and the lens (cm) Distance between the Eye and the lens(cm) Enlarged and upright Enlarged and inverted Reduced and inverted Q19. What kind of lenses are magnifying glasses? When a magnifying glass produces a sharp clear image, where is the object located in relation to the lens? Q20. Where should a magnifying glass be placed to produce an e larged and upright image, closer to the eye or nearer to the object? Why? From the activity, you were able to determine the focal length of a lens. You were also able to measure the distance of the object and the image from the lens. These quantities are very significant in describing the image formed. Images formed by lenses can also be real or virtual. In Activity 7, using a convex lens, you observed that images are formed on the screen. Images formed on a screen, after refraction, are called real images because they are formed by the intersection of real refracted rays. A virtual image, on the other hand, does not form on a screen because a virtual image is formed by the intersection of non-real rays.
  • 123. 198 Images Formed by Lenses In locating the image formed in lenses graphically, two important points are considered. The following important points are enumerated below. Figure 19. Lenses (a) Convex Lens (b) Concave Lens The ‘Three Most Useful Rays’ in Lenses Images formed in a lens can be located and described through ray diagramming. The following three most useful rays for convex and concave lenses are presented below. Table 8. The Three ‘Most Useful Rays’ in Convex and Concave Lenses Convex Lens (Converging Lens) Concave Lens (Diverging Lens) 1. P–F Ray. A ray of light parallel to the principal axis is refracted passing through the principal focus, F behind the lens. 1. P–F Ray. A ray of light parallel to the principal axis is refracted as if passing through the principal focus, F in front of the lens. • Vertex, V – The geometric center of the lens. • Focal point/ Focus, F – A point where light rays converge (or appears to converge) when parallel light rays pass through a lens. Its distance from the vertex is called the focal length. Principal axis Principal axis
  • 124. 199 2. F–P Ray. A ray of light passing through the focus, F in front of the lens is refracted parallel to the principal axis. 2. F–P Ray. A ray of light directed towards the focus, F behind the lens is refracted parallel to the principal axis. 3. V Ray. A ray of light passing through the exact center of the lens (Vertex) continue to travel in the same direction. 3. V Ray. A ray of light passing through the exact center of the lens (Vertex) continue to travel in the same direction. To graphically determine the position and kind of the image formed, the ray diagram can be used. Consider the following steps using the three major rays described above: 1. From the object, draw the first ray (P–F ray). From the same point on the object, draw the second (F–P ray), and third (V ray) rays. 2. The intersection of the rays is the image point corresponding to the object point. For example, if you started diagramming from the tip of the arrow-shaped object, the intersection of the refracted rays is also the tip of the arrow-shaped image. Thus, you can determine com- pletely the position and characteristics of the image.
  • 125. 200 3. For a concave lens, light rays diverge from a virtual focus; but the procedure for locating images is the same as for convex lenses. In the next activity, you will use the steps described above to locate and describe the images formed by convex and concave lenses by graphical method. To do this, always start by drawing the lens and its principal axis, then identify the F and 2F on the principal axis. Next is to draw the object, then diagram the rays from the object.

  • 129. 204 The Lens Equation Ray diagram does not provide exact location and numerical information about the image formed in lenses, as in the image formed in curved mirrors through ray diagram. To determine the exact location and size of the image formed in lenses, a lens equation is needed. The following derivation shows the lens equation using the results from ray diagram. From the first and third rays, similar triangles are seen in the diagram. From the height of the object, h and the height of the image, h’ shown in Figure 20 (a), you can arrive at the first equation, Similarly, as shown in Figure 20(b), the second equation can be derived as Combining Equations 1 and 2, you will get (b)(a) Figure 20. Similar Triangles are Formed using the (a) first ray (P – F ray) and (b )third ray (V ray). Equation 1 Equation 2 Equation 3 Similar Triangles Similar Triangles
  • 130. 205 Rearranging Equation 3, you will arrive at and finally, where: f = focal length or distance from the mirror and the focal point,F p = distance of the object from the lens q = distance of the image from the lens The equation above, called mirror equation, applies to both convex and concave lenses. However, in the case of the concave lens, the image will always be located on the side where the object is also located. It is therefore considered that the value of image distance, q is negative. The focal length, f in a concave lens is negative while positive in a convex lens. Sample Problem: What is the image distance and image size if a 5.00-cm tall light bulb is placed a distance of 45.5 cm from a convex lens having a focal length of 15.4 cm? Given: h = 5.00 cm p = 45.5 cm f = 15.4 c Lens Equation
  • 131. 206 Find: d = ? q = ? To determine the image distance, the lens equation must be used. Since three of the four quantities in the magnification equation are known, the height of the image, h can be calculated. The negative values for image height indicate that the image is an inverted image. In the case of a concave lens, you found out that the image always appears in front the lens. It is therefore considered that the value of image distance, q is negative.

Given: h = 3.00 cm p = 30.5 cm f = -10.2 cm Find: q = ? h’ = ? To determine the image distance, the lens equation will be used. This confirms the image distance, q as negative. To determine the image height, the magnification equation is needed. Since three of the four quantities in the equation are known, the fourth quantity can be calculated. The solution is shown below.

  • 144. 219 Glossary of Terms Concave Lens a kind of lens that is thicker at the edges and thinner in the center. It is called a diverging lens. Concave Mirror a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges away from the light source. It is called a converging mirror. Convex Lens a kind of lens that is thicker in the center than the edges. It is called a converging lens. Convex Mirror. a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges towards the light source. It is called a diverging mirror. Plane Mirror a polished or smooth surface (as of glass) that forms images by reflection. Reflection of Light the bouncing of light rays when it hits a surface. Refraction of Light the bending of light rays when passing obliquely from one medium into another.
