Lesson 2: The Emergence of Light
Newton and Descartes
Identification
1). A French Philosopher, Mathematician who studied and explained the concept
of refraction.
2). An English Physicist and Mathematician who was famous because of
describing the motion and the nature of light.
3). He explained that refraction of light caused the formation of rainbow.
4). He explained that the difference in refraction occurred due to the differences in
the mass of the colors of the light.
True or False Write true if the statement is correct and false if the statement is
incorrect.
5). The red light refracted than the blue light.
6). Descartes used the concept of the plenum to explain the emergence of the
colors of the light.
7). Plenum particles pictured as a “tiny balls and it is rotating with a same speed.”
8). Newton explained that the colors of the light which have different mass and
inertia will be deflected at varying degrees.
9). Newton believed that particle of matter exert equal force to the particles of light
regardless of its color.
10). Descartes studies the emergence of colors as light passes through prism.

Light: A Wave and a Particle, Physical Science
Lesson 3: Waves
I. True or False.
1. According to wave theory, when a beam of light travels into one different
refractive indices, the beam undergoes refraction.
2. The shape of the waves depends on the distance of light from the mirror.
3. The orbital value of Io is 1.768 earth days.
4. Ole Roemer tried to measure the speed of light, but needed much longer distance
to have significant measure.
5. Galileo Galilei was able to measure the speed of light by studying the changes in
time of orbit of Io, a moon of Jupiter.
6. In 1960 Isaac Newton propose the corpuscular theory also known as particle
theory.
7. According to Christiaan Huygens light travelled through a vacuum in a straight
line, and cannot be considered as a wave.
8. When the light passes from air (less dense motion) to water (denser medium),
it’s slow down and bends towards the normal which means away from the surface.
9. There were four prominent theory about the nature of light back in the 17th
century.
10. The moon is eclipsed by Jupiter twice every orbit.
