1.3 Characteristics of image due to Reflection by a Plane
Mirror:
(a) Distance of object from mirror = Distance of image from the mirror.
(b) The line joining a point object and its image is normal to the reflecting
surface.
(c) The size of the image is the same as that of the object.
(d) For a real object the image is virtual and for a virtual object the image
is real
2. Relation between velocity of object and image :
From mirror property : xim = - xom , yim = yom and zim = zom

4.2 Deviation of a Ray Due to Refraction
Deviation () of ray incident at i and refracted at r is given by  = |i  r|.

5. Principle of Reversibility of Light Rays

O

A ray travelling along the path of the reflected ray is reflected along the
path of the incident ray. A refracted ray reversed to travel back along its
path will get refracted along the path of the incident ray. Thus the incident
and refracted rays are mutually reversible.

(1) There is one and only one angle of incidence for which the angle
of deviation is minimum.
(2) When  = min , the angle of minimum deviation, then i = e and
r1 = r2, the ray passes symmetrically w.r.t. the refracting surfaces.
We can show by simple calculation that min = 2imin – A
where imin = angle of incidence for minimum deviation and r = A/2.

10. Dispersion Of Light
The angular splitting of a ray of white light into a number of components
and spreading in different directions is called Dispersion of Light. This
phenomenon is because waves of different wavelength move with same
speed in vacuum but with different speeds in a medium.

D
The refractive index of a medium depends slightly on wavelength also.
This variation of refractive index with wavelength is given by Cauchy’s
formula.

Cauchy's formula n () = a 

b

where a and b are positive constants

Angle between the rays of the extreme colours in the refracted (dispersed) light is

For prism of small ‘A’ and with small ‘i’ :  = (nv – nr)A
O

Deviation of beam(also called mean deviation)  = y = (ny – 1)A

Dispersive power () of the medium of the material of prism is given by:

11. Combination of Two Prisms

Two or more prisms can be combined in various ways to get different
combination of angular dispersion and deviation.

The condition for direct vision combination is :
