Light โ€” Advanced (reflection, refraction basics, dispersion, lens basics, visually challenged aids)

Science ยท Grade 6 ยท Week 45 ยท 25 questions

Light travels in straight lines, bounces off mirrors, and bends through lenses. Understanding how light behaves explains everything from rainbows to eyeglasses to cameras.

What you'll practise

  • Work with angles
  • Solve fraction problems
  • Find the mean of data sets
  • Explain reflection and refraction of light
