    The document describes several optical instruments and phenomena of light: 1. A simple microscope uses a double convex lens to produce an enlarged, erect image of an object placed near the lens. A compound microscope uses multiple lenses to enlarge a sample image. A projector produces a large image from a small object, such as showing a presentation on a screen. A camera uses a small aperture to capture a visual image on light-sensitive film or sensor. 2. Diffraction is the spreading out of waves, like light, as they pass through an aperture or around objects. Interference is the combination of two or more wave trains that results in a net effect, like the patterns seen from light reflecting off a film of

    1.DESCRIBE THE FOLLOWING OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS.


     SIMPLE MICROSCOPE
    A simple microscope is a magnifying glass that has a double convex lens with a
    short focal length i.e. hand lens and reading lens.
    When an object is kept near the lens, then its principal focus with an image is
    produced, which is erect and bigger than the original object.

     COMPOUND MICROSCOPE
    A compound microscope is a microscope that uses multiple lenses to enlarge the
    image of a sample.
     PROJECTOR
    A projector is an instrument used to produce a large image of a small object .i.e.
    one can use a projector to show a presentation on a large screen so that
    everyone in the room can see it.
     CAMERA
    A camera is an optical instrument that captures visual image
    It has a small hole [the aperture] that allows light in to capture on image on light
    sensitive surface. [photographic film]
    2.Describe the following phenomenon of light

     DIFFRACTION
    Diffraction is the spreading out of waves as they pass through an aperture or
    around objects.
    Diffraction takes place with sound; with electromagnetic radiations such as light
    rays and gamma rays; and with very small moving particles such as atoms,
    neutrons and electrons, which show wave like properties.
     Interference
    Interference is the net effect of the combination of two or more wave trains
    moving on intersecting or coincident paths. An example is by the light reflected
    from a film of oil floating on water.
