LIGHT
- It is a form of energy that enables us to see.

- Light always travels in straight line.

- Light makes shadow. Without light Shadow is not possible.

- Light has the maximum speed in this world. Its value is 3x108
m/s.

Reflection

Coming back of light rays to the same medium when they


fall on a surface.

Laws of Reflection

1) Angle of Incidence = Angle of Reflection

2) Incident ray, normal at the point of incidence


are reflected ray all lie in the same plane.

Types of Mirrors

1) Plane Mirror

- Object and Image are at equal distance from Plane


Mirror.

- If object is real, then image will be virtual and vice


versa.

- Size of image is equal to size of object.

Lateral Inversion – The right side of the object appears


left side of the image and vice-versa.

Uses - Looking Glass, Periscope, Kaleidoscope


etc.

2) Spherical Mirror

- Whose reflecting surfaces are


spherical.

a) Radius of Curvature (R) - Distance between Pole and


the Centre of Curvature.

b) Centre of Curvature (C) - Centre of that imaginary


sphere of which, mirror is part.

c) Pole (P) – It is the mid-point of its reflecting surface.

d) Principal Axis – Line joining Pole and Centre of


Curvature.

e) Focus (F) – Point on principal axis where all the parallel


light rays actually meet or appear to meet after
reflection.

f) Aperture – Effective diameter of the spherical mirror.

g) Focal Length (f) – Distance between Pole and the


Focus.

RAY DIAGRAMS

Some Rules –

1) A ray parallel to principal axis, will pass through the


Focus after reflection.
2) A ray passing through principal focus of concave mirror
will emerge parallel to principal axis after reflection.

3) Ray passing through Center of Curvature of a Concave


mirror gets reflected back in same path.

4) The Incident and Reflected rays make equal angles


with Principal Axis.

Uses of Convex Mirror -

1) Rear view mirrors in vehicles because they always


give an erect image and have wider field of view as
they are curved outward.

2) Big convex mirrors used in front of Schools,


Buildings, Shops.

Convex Mirror in front of Car


School Mirror
Sign Convention

1) Object is placed to the left of mirror.

2) All distances parallel to principal axis are measured from


pole of the mirror.

3) Pole is origin.

4) Principal axis is x-axis.

- Object Distance = ‘u’ is always


negative.
- Focal Length of concave mirror =
Negative.
- Focal Length of convex mirror =
Positive.

REFRACTION

Change in path of a light ray as it passes from one


medium to another medium is called Refraction of Light.

1) When light ray goes 2) When light rays go


from denser to rarer from rarer to denser
medium it bends medium it bends
away from normal. towards the normal.

Cause of Refraction?
As we know speed of light is different in different media,
i.e. more in rarer medium and comparatively less in denser
medium. So, when light enters a denser medium, its speed
reduces and it bends towards the normal and when it
enters rarer medium, its speed increases and it bends
away from the normal
Refraction through a Rectangular Glass
Slab :-
i = Angle of incidence
r = Angle of
Refraction e = Angle
of Emergence

 Angle of
incidence =
Angle of
Emergence, ∠i =
∠e

 If the incident ray falls normally to the surface of


glass slab, then there is no bending of ray of
light ; i.e. it goes straight.

Laws of Refraction

1) The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal to the
interface of two transparent media at the point of
incidence, all lie in the same plane.

2) Snell’s Law - The ratio of sine of angle of incidence to


sin i [ “μ” is refractive
the sinsine=of

of given color and for a given pair of media.

Refractive
- It is Index
expressed as :

- The extent of change in direction that takes place in a


given pair of media is expressed in terms of refractive
index.
- represents refractive index of medium 2 with respect

to 2medium 1, when light is going from medium 1 to
medium 2.

 The refractive index of a medium with respect to


vacuum is called Absolute refractive index of medium.

For Glass/ Water pair –

aμg
wμg =

aμw

speed:

For e.g.,

Spherical Lens

A transparent material bound by two surfaces, of which


both surfaces are spherical, forms a lens.

Convex Concave Lens


Lens

a) Centre of Curvature (C) – A lens has two spherical


surfaces. Each surface forms a part a part of a sphere.
The center of these spheres are called Centre of
curvature. [ ऊपर C1 & C2 ] [ or 2F1 & 2F2 ]

b) Principal Axis – An imaginary straight line passing


through the two centers of curvature of a lens is called
its Principal Axis.

c) Optical Centre (O) – Central Point of a lens is called


optical center.

d) Aperture - Effective diameter of the circular outline of


a spherical lens is called its aperture.
e) Principal Focus (F) - The point where the rays
parallel to principal axis after refraction meet is
called principal focus. A lens has two principal foci.

f) Focal Length (f) - The distance of principal focus


from optical center.

RAY DIAGRAMS

Some Rules –

1) Rays which are parallel to principal axis, after refraction


will pass through principal focus in case of convex lens
and will appear to be coming from principal axis in case
of concave lens.
2) Ray passing through the focus will emerge
parallel to principal axis.

3) Ray directed to Optical Centre will emerge out


undeviated.

POWER OF LENS (P)

Ability of a lens to converge or diverge light rays is called


power (P) of the lens.

P=
1 f
f Focal length in meter

- SI Unit D (called Dioptre = m-1)

- Power of Convex Lens is (+ve) because focal length of


Convex Lens is also +ve

- Power of Concave Lens is (-ve) because focal length of


Concave Lens is also -ve

- Power of a lens combination

P = P1 + P2 +
