    Answer Key of How We See Things

    The size of a shadow depends on two factors: 1) The distance between the light source and the object blocking the light, and 2) The size of the object blocking the light. If two people of different heights stand in the sun, the taller person will cast a larger shadow even though the distance to the sun is the same for both. A black cat would be harder to see with a flashlight compared to a light-colored cat because dark colors reflect less light than pale colors.

    Size of shadow

    The size of a shadow depends on the distance between the


    light source and the object that blocks that light source AND
    the size of the object.
    If you have two people standing side-by-side outside on a
    sunny day, the distance to the sun is the same for both
    people. If one is taller than the other, that person’s shadow
    will be bigger.
    Read the following material and answer the given
    questions at the end.
    It would be harder to see the cat if
    it was a black cat, because dark
    colours do not reflect as much light
    as pale colours.
    1. Why can the cat see the torch?
    • The cat can see the torch because light from
    the torch is going in her eye.
    2. What happens to the light from the torch
    that reaches the cat’s fur?
    • When light reaches cats fur, it will be reflected
    back
    3. Why can the girl see the cat?
    • The girl can see the cat because some of the
    reflected light goes into her eyes.
    4. Imagine you are in the playground.
    a What is the source of light?
    Sun is the source of light
    b Draw a diagram to show how you could see a
    tree.
    It has some black lines because the
    of the window’s bars
    Pipe a

    Light travels in straight line, since pipe A is straight,


    it will allow lines to pass while path B is curved
    which stops the light.
    Answers to Review Questions
    (Textbook, pp.194-195)
    Q-2
    2. No, it is not true. When the switch is open, there is an
    open circuit and no current flows through any part of the
    circuit.

    Q-3
    Q-4
    Copper is a better conductor of electricity than steel. This
    means that copper wires will allow electric current to flow
    through more easily than steel wires.

    Q-5(a)
    a. The number of batteries connected in series and the
    type of wire used.
    Q-5(b)

    b. No. She has changed two variables instead of one in


    her investigation.
    Using different number of batteries can affect the
    current flowing through the circuit, so she will not
    know for sure whether it is the number of batteries or
    the type of wire used which affects the brightness of
    the bulbs.
    To carry out a fair test, she should keep the number of
    batteries the same in both circuits and change only the
    type of wire used.
    b. The metal loop acts like a contact switch. When it touches
    any part of the curved wire, the circuit is closed and the bulb
    lights up. If the metal loop does not touch the curved wire,
    the circuit is open and the bulb does not light up.
    c. Make more curves in the curved wire
    Make the curved wire longer
    Make the metal loop smaller
    2. a. The longer the wire, the lower the
    current in the circuit.
    b. (i) Use the same circuit but change the thickness
    of the wire while keeping the length between
    point A and the steel paper clip constant. Observe
    whether the bulb is brighter or dimmer when
    wires of different thickness are used.
    (ii) Use the same circuit but change the type of
    metal which is used to make the wire. Keep the
    length between point A and the steel paper clip
    constant. Observe whether the bulb is brighter or
    dimmer when different types of metal wires are
    used.
    Common misconceptions
    • Electric current flows from the negative to the positive
    terminal.
    • Electric current is ‘used up’ by an electric bulb in a circuit, so
    there is less current ‘going back’ tothe battery in the wire
    after the electric bulb in a series circuit.
    • The second bulb is less bright than the first bulb in a series
    circuit because electric current has been ‘used up’ by the
    first bulb in the circuit.
    • In an open circuit, current flows to the part where there is a
    gap and ‘turns back’ to the battery when it finds that it
    cannot flow through the gap.
    • Electric current is the same as electrical energy.
