Reraction o light:. The ratio o the sine o the angle o incidence to the sine o the angle o reraction is a constant whose value depends on sin i v the nature o the two mediums. This is called as Snell s law. According to this law, sin r v where is called the reractive index o medium with respect to medium.. I the medium is vacuum, then v = c and the index o reraction o the medium w.r.t. the vacuum is: = c/v. It is also called absolute reractive index o medium. 3. Because the speed o light is dierent in dierent mediums and requency remains unchanged on passing rom one air medium to other, hence wavelength o light gets changed with change in medium. The relation is: medium. Thus, when a light ray rom a rarer medium is reracted into a denser medium, its velocity decreases and wavelength decreases but the requency does not change. 4. For air =.0003 which may be taken as. Thereore, when light passes rom air into any transparent solid the reractive index is always >. 5. The value o reractive index depends on nature o medium and wavelength or colour o light. 6. Reractive index is independent o the angle o incidence. 7. Reractive index decreases with increase in temperature. 8. When the medium is same on both sides o a glass slab, then the deviation o the emergent ray is zero. That is the t sin (i r) emergent ray goes parallel to the incident ray and lateral displacement o the emergent ray y = (where t = cos r thickness o slab). 9. Cauchy's ormula : The reractive index o a material depends on the wavelength o light according to the B relation: A (where A and B are constants) 0. I a n g and a n w, are the reractive indices o glass and water w.r.t. air respectively, then reractive index o glass w.r.t. water is: w n Real and apparent depth: g a a n n g w REFRACTION OF LIGHT.

Total internal relection:. For the phenomenon o total internal relection to take place, it is necessary that a light ray must travel rom a denser medium to a rarer medium, and the angle o incidence in the denser medium must be greater the critical angle or the given two media.. The critical angle is that angle o incidence or which the angle o reraction becomes 90. It is given by: sin ic I the rarer medium is air or vacuum, then sin i R c 3. Critical angle or red light is more than that or blue light. 4. Critical angle increases with the increase in temperature o the medium. D 5. Critical angle depends on (i) nature o medium, (ii) temperature o medium and (iii) wavelength o light. 6. Air bubbles in glass appear silvery white due to total internal relection. 7. A diver in water at a depth d sees the world outside through a horizontal circle o radius r d tan i d / 8. The brilliance o diamond is due to the phenomenon o total internal relection. 9. Mirages in deserts are also due to reraction and total internal relection. 0. The working o optical ibre is based on the phenomenon o total internal relection. Optical iber:. It is a glass iber through which light is transmitted by total internal relections rom one end to other end. An optical iber may be between 0.0 mm and 0.00 mm in diameter and may be used in bundles with the same relative positions at both the ends. It is also called as light pipe. 3. For working o the optical iber, the angle o incidence should be according to relation reractive index o the material used or cladding o the pipe and is the reractive index o the core o the pipe. sini c, where is the 4. Optical ibers are used in the ield o communications and computers or transmitting and receiving signals converted into light pulses. They also have medical uses such as in Endoscopy. Spherical reracting surace:. A spherical reracting surace is a portion o a reracting medium whose curved surace is a part o a sphere. Convex and concave spherical reracting suraces are shown in Fig.. The pole, centre o curvature, radius o curvature, aperture, the principal axis, etc., are deined in the same manner as or mirrors. 3. Suppose an object is placed in a medium o reractive index. The spherical curved surace (convex or concave) separates it rom another medium o reractive index Then, i u, v and R are respectively the object distance, the image distance and the radius o curvature o the reracting surace, then the ormula or relating u, v and R is: v u R 4.

Lenses:. A lens is a piece o transparent reractive medium (such as glass, plastic or liquid) bounded by two suraces one o which at least must be spherical.. When a lens is thicker in the middle than at the edges, it is called a convex lens or converging lens. When the lens is thicker at the edges than in the middle, it is called as concave lens or diverging lens. 3. A thin lens is one in which the distance between the two suraces along the principal axis is negligibly small. In case o a thin lens, distances measured rom the poles o the reracting suraces can be taken as the distances measured rom the optical centre o the lens. Optical centre is a point through which a light ray passes undeviated i the lens is quite thin, Lens Maker's ormula and thin lens ormula:. When medium is same on both sides o a lens, then ( ) where = ocal length o the thin v u R R lens, = reractive index o the material o lens with respect to the medium surrounding it, R = radius o curvature o the irst surace and R = radius o curvature o the second surace.. For a plano-convex lens or plano-concave lens, is negative or a plano-concave lens. 3. I radii o curvatures o the two suraces are the same, say R, then Power & magniication due to a lens: Nishant Gupta, D-, Prashant vihar, Rohini, Delhi-85 Contact: 995368795, 968789880 ( ) The ocal length is positive or a plano-convex lens, while it R R.

For a real image m is negative and or a virtual image m is positive. 4. The power o a lens P =(/) dioptre (D). where is ocal length in metre. Combination o Lenses:. Whenever two lenses are in contact, the reciprocal o eective ocal length is equal to the sum o the reciprocals o ocal lengths o the lenses in contact.. The power o the combination o two lenses in contact is equal to the sum o the powers o the individual lenses, i.e., P = P + P. 3. I two thin lenses are separated by a small distance d, then the ocal length o the combination is: Some more points about lenses: d g. When a lens is kept in a medium other than air, then where m is the reractive index o the m m R R medium in which lens is placed.. When a lens is placed in a medium or which is less than that o the lens, its ocal length increases and power decreases- The nature o the lens remains unchanged. 3. When the lens is placed in a medium or which is equal to that o the lens, the ocal length o the lens becomes ininity and power becomes zero. The lens behaves like a plane glass plate. 4
4. When the lens is placed in a medium or which is greater than that o the lens, the nature o the lens changes. (Air bubble in water behaves as a divergent lens.) 5. When a lens o ocal length is cut into two equal halves perpendicular to principal axis, then each part o the lens has a ocal length. 6. When a lens o ocal length is cut into two equal halves parallel to principal axis, then each part has a ocal length. The intensity o image is decreased. 7. For a real image the distance (d) between convex lens and screen must be greater or equal to 4. When d < 4 then there is no real image on screen. When d = 4 then there is only one positions o the lens or which image o the object on the screen is distinct and clear When d > 4 then there are two positions o the lens or which the image o the object on the screen is distinct and clear. In these two positions o lens, the distances o object and image rom the lens are interchanged. In this case i size o image in one position is I and in other I then size o object (O) is given by O I I REFRACTION OF LIGHT Assignment.
