To solve this problem, we need to determine whether each object in the image is a
light source or not. A light source is an object that creates its own light, such as the sun, a lit candle, or a lamp. Objects that reflect light (like a baseball) or do not produce light at all (like ice cubes) are not light sources.
Let's analyze each object step by step:
1.
Colorful blanket:
- This is a reflective surface but does not create its own light.
-
Answer: No
2.
Candle with flame:
- The candle emits light when it is lit.
-
Answer: Yes
3.
Desk lamp:
- The lamp produces light when turned on.
-
Answer: Yes
4.
Lightning bolt:
- Lightning is a natural phenomenon that produces light.
-
Answer: Yes
5.
Baseball:
- A baseball reflects light but does not create its own light.
-
Answer: No
6.
Ice cubes:
- Ice cubes reflect light but do not produce their own light.
-
Answer: No
7.
Sun:
- The sun is a natural light source that emits light.
-
Answer: Yes
Final Answers:
- Colorful blanket:
No
- Candle with flame:
Yes
- Desk lamp:
Yes
- Lightning bolt:
Yes
- Baseball:
No
- Ice cubes:
No
- Sun:
Yes
Explanation:
-
Light sources are objects that emit their own light, such as the sun, a lit candle, and a lamp.
-
Non-light sources are objects that reflect light or do not produce light at all, such as a blanket, a baseball, and ice cubes.
This distinction helps children understand the difference between objects that create light and those that simply reflect it.
