CHAPTER - 15 
 
LIGHT 
1) Light travels along a straight line :- 
 Activity :- 
   Light a candle and fix it on a table. Take a piece of straight pipe or a 
rubber tube. Look at the candle through the pipe. You can see the 
candle flame. If the pipe is bent, you cannot see the candle flame. This 
shows that light travels along a straight line.

2) Reflection of light :- 
  When light falls on a mirror, the direction of light changes. 
This change in the direction of light by a mirror is called 
reflection of light. 
Activity :- Take a torch and cover its glass with a chart paper. Having a 
small hole. Spread a chart paper on a wooden board. Keep a plane mirror 
vertically on it. Direct a beam of light at an angle to the mirror. The 
direction of light changes. If the torch is moved slightly to either side, the 
direction of light also changes.

3) Image formed by a plane mirror :- 
    i) The image is erect. 
  ii) The image is same size as the object. 
iii) The image is at the same distance from the mirror as the object is  
       in front of it. 
iv) The image is virtual (cannot be obtained on a screen). 
 v) In the image the right side appears left and the left side appears  
     right.

     right. 
4a) Spherical mirrors :- 
    Spherical mirrors are curved mirrors. 
    If the reflecting is inside, the spherical mirror is a concave 
mirror. 
   If the reflecting surface is outside, the spherical mirror is a 
convex mirror. 
  Eg :- A stainless steel spoon also act like a mirror. The 
inner side acts like a concave mirror and the outer side acts 
like a convex mirror

FAQs on PPT - Light - Class 7

1. What is light?
Ans. Light is a form of energy that is visible to the human eye. It is a type of electromagnetic radiation that travels in straight lines and moves at a speed of approximately 299,792,458 meters per second.
2. What are the properties of light?
Ans. Light has several properties, including wavelength, frequency, amplitude, and polarization. The wavelength of light determines its color, while the frequency determines its energy. Amplitude refers to the intensity of the light, and polarization describes the orientation of the electric field.
3. How is light produced?
Ans. Light can be produced in several ways, including through the emission of photons by an excited atom, through the acceleration of charged particles, or through the heating of an object. Light is also produced naturally through processes such as bioluminescence and combustion.
4. What is the importance of light?
Ans. Light is essential for life on Earth as it provides energy for photosynthesis, which is the process by which plants produce food. Light also plays a crucial role in vision, allowing us to see the world around us and enabling communication through the use of optical fibers.
5. How does light travel?
Ans. Light travels in straight lines as waves of energy. It can be refracted, reflected, or diffracted depending on the medium through which it is passing. Light can also be absorbed or scattered by objects, causing it to change direction or lose intensity.
