GEOMETRICAL OPTICS
1.
(i)
LAWS OF REFLECTION :
The incident ray (AB), the reflected ray (BC) and normal (NN') to the surface (SS') of reflection at the
point of incidence (B) lie in the same plane. This plane is called the plane of incidence (also plane of
reflection).
(ii)
The angle of incidence (the angle between normal and the incident
ray) and the angle of reflection (the angle between the reflected ray
and the normal) are equal
i = r
2.
(a)
(b)
OBJECT :
Real : Point from which rays actually diverge.
Virtual : Point towards which rays appear to converge
3.
(ii)
IMAGE :
Image is decided by reflected or refracted rays only. The point image for a mirror is that point
Towards which the rays reflected from the mirror, actually converge (real image).
OR
From which the reflected rays appear to diverge (virtual image) .
4.
(a)
CHARACTERISTICS OF REFLECTION BY A PLANE MIRROR :

The size of the image is the same as that of the object.
(b)
For a real object the image is virtual and for a virtual object the image is real.
(c)
For a fixed incident light ray, if the mirror be rotated through an angle the reflected ray turns through an
(i)
angle 2.
5.
SPHERICAL MIRRORS :
6.
PARAXIAL RAYS : Rays which forms very small angle with axis are called paraxial rays.
7.
SIGN CONVENTION :
Concave
Convex
We follow cartesian co-ordinate system convention according to which

(a)
The pole of the mirror is the origin .
(b)
The direction of the incident rays is considered as positive x-axis.
(c)
Vertically up is positive y-axis.
Note : According to above convention radius of curvature and focus of concave mirror is negative and of convex
mirror is positive.

or foci. X,Y are the distance along the principal axis of the real object and real image respectively from
the principal focus .

(i)
LAWS OF REFRACTION (AT ANY REFRACTING SURFACE) :

The incident ray (AB), the normal (NN') to the refracting surface (II') at the
point of incidence (B) and the refracted ray (BC) all lie in the same
plane called the plane of incidence or plane of refraction .

Paragraph for Questions 33 and 34

Most materials have the refractive index, n > 1. So, when a light ray from air enters a naturally occurring
sin 1 n2
material, then by Snells law, sin n , it is understood that the refracted ray bends towards the normal.
2
1
But it never emerges on the same side of the normal as the incident ray. According to electromagnetism,
c
the refractive index of the medium is given by the relation. n r r , where c is the speed of
v
electromagnetic waves in vacuum, v its speed in the medium, r and r are the relative permittivity and
permeability of the medium respectively.
In normal materials, both r and r are positive, implying positive n for the medium. When both r and r are
negative, one must choose the negative root of n. Such negative refractive index materials can now be
artifically prepared and are called meta-materials. They exhibit significantly different optical behaviour,
without violating any physical laws. Since n is negative, it results in a change in the direction of propagation
of the refracted light. However, similar to normal materials, the frequency of light remains unchanged upon
refraction even in meta-materials.

Exercise # 4
1.
The screen should be placed 54 cm from the mirror. The image is real, inverted and magnified. The
size of the image is 5.0 cm. If the candle is moved closer, the screen would have to be moved farther
and farther. Closer than 18 cm from the mirror, the image gets virtual and cannot be collected on the
screen.

Use the lens makers formula to obtain R = 22 cm.
4.
Image is erect, virtual and located 8.4 cm from the lens on the same side as the object. It is diminished to a size = (8.4/14) 3 cm = 1.8 cm. As the object is moved away from the lens, the virtual
image moves towards the focus of thelens (but never beyond), and progressively diminishes in size.
Note that when the object is placed at the focus of the concave lens (21 cm), the image is located at
10.5 cm (not at infinity as one might wrongly think). A virtual object at the focus of a concave lens
produces an image at infinity.

No, a person may have normal ability of accommodation of the eye-lens and yet may be myopic or
hypermetropic. Myopia arises when the eye-ball from front to back gets too shortened. In practice, in
addition, the eye-lens may also lose some of its ability of accommodation. When the eyeball has the
normal length but the eye-lens loses partially its ability of accommodation (as happens with increasing age for any normal eye) the defect is called presbyopia and is corrected in the same manner as
hypermetropia.
8.
The far point of the person is 100 cm, while his near poin may have been normal (about 25 cm).
Objects at infinity produce virtual image at 100 cm (using spectacles). To view closer objects i.e.,
those which are (or whose images using the spectacles are) between 100 cm and 25 cm, the person
uses the ability of accommodationof his eye-lens. This ability usually gets partially lost inold age
(presbyopia). The near point of the person recedes to 50 cm. to view objects at 25 cm clearly, the
person needs converging lens of power + 2 dioptres.
9.
The defect (called astigmatism) arises because the curvature of the cornea plus eye-lens refracting
system is not the same in different planes. The eye-lens is usually spherical i.e., has the same curvature on different planes but the curvature in the vertical plane is enough, so sharp images of vertical
wires can be formed on the retina. But the curvature is insufficient in the horizontal planes, so horizontal wires appear blurred. The defect can be corrected by using a cylindrical lens with its axis along
the vertical. Clearly, parallel rays in the vertical plane will sufer no extra refraction, but those in the
horizontal plane can get the required extra convergence due to refraction byt he curved surface of
the cylindrical lens if the curvature o the cylindrical surface is chosen appropriately.

CHARACTERISTICS OF REFLECTION BY A PLANE MIRROR :

We follow cartesian co-ordinate system convention according to which

The pole of the mirror is the origin .

The direction of the incident rays is considered as positive x-axis.

h1 = y co-ordinate of the object

(both perpendicular to the principle axis of mirror)

OPTICAL POWER : Optical power of a mirror (in Diopters) =

f = focal length (in meters) with sign .

REFRACTION -PLANE SURFACE

LAWS OF REFRACTION (AT ANY REFRACTING SURFACE) :

Note : Frequency of light does not change during refraction .

DEVIATION OF A RAY DUE TO REFRACTION :

REFRACTION THROUGH A PARALLEL SLAB :

APPARENT DEPTH OF SUBMERGED OBJECT :

at near normal incidence

CRITICAL ANGLE & TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION ( T. I. R.)

Angle of incidence should be greater than the critical angle (i > c) .

REFRACTION THROUGH PRISM :

, where n = absolute R.I. of glass .

Note : When the prism is dipped in a medium then

COMBINATION OF TWO PRISMS :

ACHROMATIC COMBINATION : It is used for deviation without dispersion .

Net mean deviation =
