Learn the idea

Light can reflect from surfaces. Sound comes from vibrations. A complete low-voltage circuit can power a suitable component, with supervision.

Worked example

A mirror reflects light. A drum skin vibrates to produce sound. A gap stops a simple battery-and-bulb circuit.

  1. Read the example and explain which rule or evidence it uses.
  2. Try each task yourself, then compare the answer and its reason.

Your written practice

Show model answer and explanation

reflection

A mirror reflects incoming light.

Show model answer and explanation

vibration

The skin moves rapidly backwards and forwards.

Show model answer and explanation

a complete path

An open circuit has a break in the conducting path.

Take it further

Apply the idea in a new situation and explain your method. Open writing needs a guardian or teacher to review it.

Show model answer and explanation

reflection

Reflection changes the direction of light at a surface.

Show model answer and explanation

frequency

Higher vibration frequency corresponds to higher pitch in ordinary examples.

Write in your own words. A guardian or teacher should review this response.

Show model answer and explanation

Pitch relates to vibration frequency; loudness relates to sound intensity and how it is heard. A high note need not be loud.

Use a conceptual example rather than exposing anyone to loud sound.
