Assessment 3
How to Use Light
You knew that light was important for survival of life on Earth, but did you know that it could be so useful? You can reflect it and refract it. You can separate it into colours and combine it to make new colours!! Apply your knowledge
of how light behaves and you are able to use all sorts of neat optical devices such as cameras and microscopes.
Imagine if you had to produce an instruction manual for "How to Use Light”. Your instruction manual would explain how light can be reflected and refracted. It would include directions on how to use light to produce colours and how it is used in some optical devices.
