Light - Reflection and Refraction

1. Ray diagrams - convex lens, concave mirror


2. Refraction of light through glass slab

3. Lens formula magnification

mirror formula magnification

4. Laws of Reflection of light


● The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
● The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the mirror
at the point of incidence all lie in the same plane.
5. Laws of refraction of light
i) 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.
ii) Snell's law: The ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of
refraction is a constant for the light of a given colour and for the
given pair of media
sin i
—--- = Constant
Sin r
6. * They always give an erect diminished image.
* They have a wider field of view as they are curved outwards.
7. Concave mirror :
i) Used in torches, search-lights
ii) Used in vehicles head lights
iii) Used as shaving mirrors
iv) The dentists used to test / examine teeth of patients
v) Used in solar furnace.
8. Refractive index: The relative speed of propagation of light in different
media.
9. When light travels from an optically denser medium to an optically rarer medium, the ray of light
bends away from the normal and the speed of light increases
10. As the refractive index of the medium increases, the speed of light decreases.
11. Power of lens - The ability of a lens to converge or diverge the rays of light
falling on it.
Unit - Dioptre D Formula - P =

12. Radius of curvature = 2 x focal length


R = 2f

13. The refractive index of diamond is 2.42. It means The ratio of the speed of light
in air and the speed of light in diamond is 2·42
