-: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.
8
- Light has the maximum speed in this world. Its value is 3x10 m/s.

When light falls on a surface, following may happen:


(i) Reflection
(ii) Refraction
(iii) Absorption

Reflection:-
Bouncing back of light when it strikes on a polished surface like
mirror.
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 Images

Real Image Virtual Image


1) Real images are inverted 1)Virtual images are Erect

2) A real image is formed by Convex 2) A virtual image is formed by


lens and Concave Mirror Plane Mirror and Convex Mirror,
Concave Lens
3) These are formed on Screen 3) These are not formed on Screen

4) These are formed due to actual 4) These are formed due to


intersection of rays imaginary intersection of rays.

Types of Mirror
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.
Application of lateral inversion
→ The word AMBULANCE is written in reverse direction so that it
can be read correctly in rear view mirror of vehicles going in front of it

2)Spherical Mirror
→ Mirrors whose reflecting surface is curved.
→ There are two types of spherical mirrors:
(i) Convex Mirror
(ii) Concave Mirror

Points to Know:-
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

Focal length= Centre of Curvature

PRACTICE
1. Define the principal focus of concave mirrors
2.A spherical mirror’s radius of curvature is 20 cm. Calculate the focal
length.
3.
4.Name a mirror that gives an erect and enlarged image of an object.
5.Why are convex mirrors preferred in vehicles?
6.List the image characteristics formed by plane mirrors.
7.
8.What are the laws of reflection of light?
9.What is an optical centre?
10. State the type of mirrors used for
Headlight
Rearview mirror
11.Why is a concave mirror used as a shaving mirror?
12. List the characteristics of an image formed by plane mirrors.
