    Light-Reflection and Refraction

    Class X PPT

    By Ashutosh
    Light

    Light is a form of energy that enables us to see things. Light starts from a
    source and bounces off objects which are perceived by our eyes, and our brain
    processes this signal, which eventually enables us to see. Maxwell predicted
    that magnetic and electric fields travel in the form of waves, and these waves
    move at the speed of light.
    Nature of light

    Light behaves as a:
    ray, e.g. reflection
    wave, e.g.
    interference and
    diffraction
    particle, e.g.
    photoelectric effect
    Refraction of Light

    The shortest path need not be the quickest


    path. Since light is always in a hurry, it bends
    when it enters a different medium as it is still
    following the quickest path. This phenomenon
    of light bending in a different medium is
    called refraction.
    Laws of Refraction
    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.
    The ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine
    of the angle of refraction is a constant for the light of a
    given colour and for the given pair of media. This law is
    also known as Snell’s law of refraction.

    Refraction
    Absolute and Relative Refractive Index
    The refractive index of one medium with respect to another
    medium is called the relative refractive index. When taken with
    respect to a vacuum, it’s known as an absolute refractive index.
    Refraction through a Rectangular Glass Slab
    When the light is incident on a rectangular glass slab, it emerges
    out parallel to the incident ray and is laterally displaced. It moves
    from rarer to a denser medium and then again to a rarer medium.
    Important Terms

    Important terms related to spherical lenses


    ● Pole (P): The midpoint or the symmetric centre of a spherical lens is
    known as its Optical Centre. It is also called the pole. ● Principal Axis:
    The line passing through the optical centre and the centre of curvature.
    ● Paraxial Ray: A ray close to the principal axis and also parallel to it.
    ● Centre of curvature (C): The centres of the spheres that the spherical
    lens was a part of. A spherical lens has two centres of curvatures. ●
    Focus (F): It is the point on the axis of a lens to which parallel rays of
    light converge or from which they appear to diverge after refraction. ●
    Focal length: Distance between optical centre and focus.
    Lens Formula and Magnification
    Lens Formula, Magnification and Power of Lens Lens formula and magnification Lens
    formula: 1/v = 1/u = 1/f, gives the relationship between the object distance (u), image
    distance (v), and the focal length (f) of a spherical lens. To know more about Lens formula
    and magnification, visit here. Uses of spherical lens Applications such as visual aids:
    spectacles, binoculars, magnifying lenses, telescopes. Power of a Lens Power of a lens is the
    reciprocal of its focal length i.e 1/f (in metre). The SI unit of power of a lens is dioptre (D).
