Refraction of light

By Manan Xth A2

The refraction of light occurs


when a light wave, incident at an
angle away from the normal,
passes a boundary from one
medium into another in which
there is a change in velocity of
the light
LAWS OF REFRACTIONOF LIGHT
• The incident ray refracted ray,
and the normal to the interface
of two media at the point of
incidence all lie on the same
plane
• The ratio of the sine of the angle
of incidence to the sine of the
angle of refraction is a constant.

DIVERGING Convex/CONVERGING
REFRACTIVE INDEX
• Refraction Index Is The Ratio Between The
Sine Of Angle Of Incidence And The Sine
Of Angle Of Refraction
• Refractive Index = Sin I/Sin R
• Also Refractive Index Of Air Is 1
Therefore Refractive Index Of Any
Object Is C/V
• Where C Is The Speed Of Light In
Vaccum/Air And V Is Speed Of Light
In Object
SIGN CONVENTIONS
• SIGN CONVENTION IS A TOPIC IN
EHICH WE LEARN ABOUT THE
SIGNS GIVEN TO V ,U,AND F
• IT WORKS LIKE A GRAPH THE
SIGN ARE GIVEN AS IN GRAPHS
• F IN CONVEX LENS IS ALWAYS +VE
• F IN CONCAVE LENS IS ALWAYS –
VE
Lens formula and
LENS magnification
MAGNIFICATIO
FORMULA N
• The ratio between the • The ratio of height
position of object{u}, of image (h’) and
the position of image
{v} , and the focal
the height of
length {f} object (h)
• 1/v-1/u=1/f • m= h’/h

POWER OF LENS
POWER OF LENS IS DEFINED AS THE
RECIPROCAL OF FOCAL LENGTH
SI UNIT = DIOPTRE (D)
1D = 1m -1
