Big Idea: Energy can be transferred as both a particle and a wave
By the end of our physics unit you should be able to:
- identify different types of electromagnetic radiation within the electromagnetic spectrum
- describe positive and negative effects of electromagnetic radiation
- identify properties of light as it acts like both a wave and a particle
- identify behaviours of light including reflection, refraction, absorption, transmission,
- describe the effects of translucent, transparent, and opaque objects
- describe how images are formed by lenses and mirrors
- discuss ways of sensing light with respect to human vision, optical instruments, cameras
