Lesson 1: Lasers and Photonics


(K) What I already know about the topic
(W) What I want to know about the topic
(L) What I have learned about the topic
A photon is the smallest unit used to measure light
How lasers work

Photons are used in our daily lives and are very useful
How the theory of photonics works

Lasers have several uses but can be extremely dangerous





Lesson 2: Reflection of Light


(K) What I already know about the topic
(W) What I want to know about the topic
(L) What I have learned about the topic
Light always travels in a straight line
How convex and concave mirrors work in detail

Light is a form of energy that cannot be created nor destroyed
How the reflection of light can be affected by external factors

An object can be seen because light has reflected off it


When light hits a surface, the angle which it leaves the surface at is the same as the angle it hit the surface at
