How are thingstransformed? Changes and interactions • Unit IV – Lesson 1 –Imagesmadebymirrors and lenses and theirpurpose
Types of Mirrors • Mirrors come in twobasicforms: convexand concave. • A convexmirror, reflects at a wideranglenearitsedgedthanits center, creating a slightlydistortedimagethat’ssmallerthan actual size. • Concavemirrors curve inward, like a spoon (thesidethatholdssoup).
ConvexMirror • Convexmirrorshavemany uses, thesmallersize of theimagesmeansthatyou can see more withthesesurfaces, hencetheir use in safety mirrors.
Concavemirror • Thismirrorshavetheabilitytocreateanimagewhentheircurvaturebounces light to a specificarea in front of them, thisareaiscalledthe focal point.
Non-reversingmirrors • Alsoknown as true mirrors, werecreatedbyplacingtwomirrors perpendicular toeachother.
Acousticmirrors • Huge concrete dishesbuilttoreflect and distributesoundinstead of light.
Two-waymirrors • Thesemirrors are madebycoatingoneside of a sheet of glasswith a verythi, verylightlyreflective material. Whenthecoatedside faces a lightedroom, some of the light reflects and somegoesinto a darkroombehindthemirror, makingitpossibletoseeintothelighetroombutnotout.

Energy’stransformation, importance and uses Unit IV –Lesson 2
Energy • Energyisthecapacityto do work. Theinternationalmeasurementsystemforenergyisthe “International MeasuringSystem”, whichfromitsname in french, it’sabreviated SI. • TheJoule, istheinternationalyrecognizedunitforenergy.
Energy • Anyform of energy can be transformedintoanotherform, theprocess of energytransformationisalsoknown as energycoversion.
EnergyTransformation • Energydoesn’tdisappear, itjustchangesforms. Energytransformationistheprocess of changingenergyfromoneformtoanother.
Themainenergyforms are: • Radiant (light) energy • Chemicalenergy • Mechanicalenergy • Nuclear energy • Electricalenergy • Heat (thermal) energy • Soundenergy
Energyforms can be classified in twotypes: • Kineticenergy, whichismotionenergy. • Potentialenergy, whichisstoredenergy.
Soundenergy • Is a type of wave motion, sendingmolecules of air vibratingwhich produce sound.
ElectricalEnergy • Electricalenergyisthemovingelectricalchargesfromonepointtoanother in a conductor.
Nuclear Energy • Energystoredfromthenucleus of anatom, thatenergy can be releasedwhenwe combine orsplitthenucleus.
ThermalEnergy • Total kineticenergy of atoms and moleculesthat are constantly in motion.
RadiantEnergy • Energymadebyelectromagneticwavesthat produce light.
