RBSE Class 6 Science Chapter 11 Notes Light, Shadows and Reflections

→ Light helps us to see objects.

→ We see different objects when light from a luminous object (like the Sun, a torch or an electric light) falls on these and then travels towards our eye.

→ A given object or material could be transparent, translucent or opaque depending on whether it allows light to pass through it completely, partially or not at all.

→ We need a source of light and an opaque object, to see a shadow.

→ Shadows give us some information about shapes of objects. Sometimes, shadows can also mislead us about the shape of the object. 

→ Pinhole camera can be made with simple materials and can be used to image the sun and brightly lit objects.

→ Light travels along a straight line.

→ Light travels and gets reflected from a mirror.

→ Mirror reflection gives us clear image.
