How the direction of light change when
propagating from air to water ?
Concept :
A transparent material and curved shape
can be used as a lens. Light can be refracted when propagating through a
different medium.
Materials
needed :
·
A transparent
vessel containing water
·
Bowl
·
Water
·
Ruler
·
Coin
·
Flashlight
·
Pensil
·
Black paper
Diskusi
:
·
What is meant by
the lens ?
·
how the lens use
?
·
how light rays
are affecting the appearance of objects in the water ?
·
how to change
the direction of light rays?
·
how to bend
light rays?
Learning
Activities :
Part
– 1. (This activity is done in pairs)
Hypothesis
:
How does the appearance of a pencil
partly immersed in a vessel filled with water ?
1.
Put lymph vessel
on the table and fill with enough water.
2.
insert
a pencil into the water.
Observation :
1.
Observe how the
shape of sightings pencil.
2.
How to change
the appearance of the form of pencil ?
3.
whether part of
the pencil in the water is greater than the parts that do not get into the
water?
Part
– 2.
Put the bowl on the table and insert a
coin into the bowl. Request at some of the learners
to observe coins, furthermore, they have
to retreat until the coin invisibles from view.
Hypothesis
:
Can coin seen again, if learners do not change
its position as the observer and the water is filled into the bowl ?
Designing
Experiments :
The other learners must fill the water
into the bowl slowly until the coin looks back.
Hypothesis
:
whether coin seen more clearly than ever
before ?
Application
:
How water change the course of the light
rays of the coin to the viewer's eye?
Inference
:
What conclusions can be drawn based on
the two experiments that have been done?
Teacher
records :
After doing the activity, the teacher
can present the following picture.
Part
– 3.
Learners investigate the nature of light
propagation using a flashlight, aquarium and other materials. Poposed
experimental design with a sketch or charts trial.
