ayman izad Light : Reflection and Refraction Light is a form of energy that enables us to see. An object reflects the light rays that Grea fall on is. These reflected light rays, when received by out eyes, make the sbject visible fo us. Weare able to see through a transparent medium as light is transmitted through it. The speed of light in vacuum or in airis3 x 10° ms". Light travels in a straight line. © Reflection of Li © Image Formatic . .

Image {flight rays coming from a point after reflection meet at another point or appear to meet at another point, then the second point is called the image of the first point. Images are of two types: 1, Real Image If the light rays coming from a point actually, meet after reflection, then the image formed is called a real image. 2, Virtual Image If the light rays coming from a point, after reflection does not meet actually, but appear to meet at another point, then the image formed is called a virtual image. Mirror Mirror is a polished surface, which reflects almost all the light incident on it. Mirrors are of two types: 1. Plane Mirror Ifthe reflecting surface of a mirror is plane, then the mirror is called a plane mirror. Image formed by a plane mirror has following properties: * Ieis always vireual and erect. * The sizeof image is equal to the size of the object. * The distance between the image and the mirror is equal to the distance between the object and the mirror. * The image is laterally inverted, i. left seems to be right and vice-versa. * Focal length of a plane mirror is infinite. Uses of Plane Mirrors Plane mirrors are commonly used as looking g!: periscopes, kaleidoscopes etc. 2. Spherical Mirror If the reflecting surface of the mirror is curved inwards oF outwards, then the mirror is called a spherical mirror. Spherical mirrors are of two types: : (a) The spherical micror with inward curved reflecting sures is called concave mirror. A beam of light generally converges after reflection from such surfaces, hence it is also called convergent mirror. eg, The inner curved surface of a shining spoon can be considered as a concave mirror. lass, in making rods Contre of Mel curvature pt “<—_—A— Concave or converging mirror Here, f = focal length and R = radius of curvature. (b) The spherical mirror with outward curved reflecting surface is called convex mirror. A beam of light generally diverges after reflection from this surface, hence itis also called divergent mirror. eg. The outer curved surface of a shining spoon can be treated or considered as convex mirror.

In the above Burs ici aed by C.In case of concave mirror, the centre pipeline in front of it, while in case of convex mirror, centre of curvature lies behind it. Radius of Curvature Radius of curvature of a spherical mirror is the radius of imaginary sphere of which, mirror is a part. In the above figure, it is shown by R. Pole Pole of the spherical mirror is the mid-point of its reflecting surface. In the above figure, itis shown by P. Principal Axis ‘The principal axis ofa spherical mirror is the line joining the pole and centre of curvature. In the figure, PC is the principal axis. Aperture ‘The diameter of the reflecting surface of aspherical mirror is called its aperture. It is that part of the reflecting surface of a mirror which is exposed to the incident light. Ie is equal to the straight line distance between two ends ofthe mirror. Inthe figure, MM ; is the aperture of mirror. Principal Focus of a Spherical Mirror Principal focus of a concave mirror is a point on the principal axis of the mirror at which the light rays coming parallel to principal axis, after reflection actually meet. Principal focus of a convex mirror is a point on its principal axis from which a beam of light rays parallel to aatis, appears to diverge after being reflected from the mirror.

Power of a Lens ‘The ability of a lens to converge or diverge light rays is called power (P) of the lens. It is defined as the reciprocal of focal length, —__— 7f (in metre) | Its SI unit is dioptre (D) (1 D= 1m). If f is expressed in metres, then power is expressed in dioptres. Thus, dioptre is the power of a lens whose focal length is 1 metre. If focal length is given in centimetre, then zi Power 100 For concave lens, power and_focal length are negative. For convex lens, power and focal length are positive. Power of Combination of Lenses ‘When two or more thin lenses are used in combination, the equivalent focal length (f ) and power of the combination (P) can be calculated as Magnification of lens in combination (m) is given by [m= my XM Xv Note + The use of combination of lenses increases the sharpness of image, the image produced is also free from ‘many defects. * The additive property of the powers of the lenses can be used to design lens systems ¢o minimise certain defects ln images produced by a single lens.
