1 CHAPTER-10 LIGHT REFLECTION AND REFRACTION Light rays; are; electromagnetic in nature, and do not need material medium for Propagation Speed of light in vacuum in 3*10 8 m/s When a light ray falls on a polished surface like a mirror it gets reflected in accordance with law of reflection. Laws of reflection are applicable to planar and spherical surfaces LAWS Angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Incident ray, the normal to the mirror at the point of incidence and the reflected ray all lie in the same plane. RULES To represent image formation by spherical mirror through ray diagram A ray parallel to the principal axis after reflection will pass through the principal focus in concave mirror or appear to diverge from principal focus in case of convex mirror. A ray of light passing through principal focus of a concave mirror or a ray which is directed towards the principal focus of convex mirror after reflection emerges parallel to the principal axis. A ray passing through center of curvature of concave mirror or directed in the direction of center of curvature of a convex mirror after reflection i.e. it is reflected back along the same path. A ray incident obliquely to the principal axis, toward the pole of the mirror on the concave mirror or the convex mirror is reflected obliquely. Position Of the Object Position Of the Image Size Of the Image Nature Of the Image At Infinity At the Focus Highly Diminished, Point Real and Inverted Sized Beyond C Between F and C Diminished Real and Inverted At C At C Same size Real and Inverted Between C and F Beyond C Enlarged Real and Inverted At F At Infinity Highly Enlarged Real and Inverted Between P and F Behind the mirror Enlarged Virtual and Erect a. Plane mirror b.concave mirror c.convex mirror a) The nature of image formed by a plane mirror is virtual laterally inverted and of the same size as the object b) Concave mirror is a converging mirror as it focuses a set of parallel rays at a point called its principle focus. (Activity 10.2 NCERT) c) Convex mirror is a diverging mirror as it diverges a set of parallel rays falling on it. d) Real images can be projected on a screen while virtual images can not be projected on a screen. e) The size and the nature of the image formed by a concave mirror depends on the position of the object in front of the mirror. (Activity 10.2 NCERT)

2 f) The nature of the image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual. g) The size and the nature of the image formed by a convex lens depends on the position of the object. ( Linear Magnification) h) The nature of the image formed by the concave lens is always virtual and diminished. i) Linear magnification produced by a mirror or lens is the relative the image(h ) as compared to the object(h) i.e; m=h /h. j) A refraction is the process by which the speed and the path of the light rays changes when it enters form one medium to another.(activity 10.7, 10.8 & 10.9) k) Refraction occurs through a glass slab, prism, spherical surfaces(convex and concave lens). l) Refraction occurs on a accordance with the laws of Refraction. m) The incident ray and the emergent ray in a glass slab is parallel as the extent of Refraction at the two parallel faces are equal and opposite. n) Refraction index is denoted as n21=sin i/sin r, where n21means refractive index of the 2 nd medium with respect to1 st medium. o) Refractive index is also the ratio of the velocity of light in medium1 to that in medium 2. n21=v1/v2. p) When the first medium is vacuum it is said to e absolute refractive index.n=c/v, where c=3*10 8 m/s(speed of light of vacuum) v=velocity of light in medium2. q) An optical denser medium refracts a light ray more than a optically rarer medium. While comparing two media the one with the larger refractive index is optically denser than the other medium of lower refractive index in optically rarer. The speed of light is higher in a rarer medium the denser medium. (Table 10.4 NCERT Pg 178 Table 10.5 Pg 179) r) Power of lens in the degree of convergence or divergence of light ray falling on it. s) Power of the lens is the reciprocal of its focal length P=1/f t) SI unit of power is Dioptre (D), (1D=1/m) Important formulae 1. R=2f 2. 1/v+1/u=1f (mirror formulae) 3. 1/v-1/u=1/f (lens formulae) 4. m=-v/u (linear magnification of mirror) 5. m=v/u (linear magnification of lens) 6. p=-1/f 7. n21=sin i/sin r 8. n=c/v Sign convention at the glance u f v
