Introduction to Heat and Temperature
1. ‘Hot’ and ‘Cold’ are relative terms.
2. Heat is a form of energy.
3. When heat energy flows out of your body you get the feeling of ‘coldness’ and
when heat energy enters your body you get a feeling of ‘hotness’.
4. When iron and wooden pieces are kept in the fridge for the same period of time.
When touched, we feel that the metal piece is colder than the wooden piece.
It means that more heat energy flows out of your body when you touch the metal
piece as compared to the wooden piece.
In other words, the ‘degree of coldness’ of the metal piece is greater than that of
the wooden piece.
5. The conventional definition of temperature is “the degree of hotness or cold-
ness”.
6. When two bodies are placed in thermal contact, heat energy will be transferred
from the ‘hotter’ body to the ‘colder’ body.
This transfer of heat energy is continued till both bodies attain same degree of
hotness (or) coldness.
At this stage, we say that the bodies have achieved ‘thermal equilibrium’.
7. The state of thermal equilibrium denotes a state of a body where it neither
receives nor gives out net heat energy.
8. We know that bodies in contact achieve thermal equilibrium due to transfer of
heat energy.
9. “Heat is a form of energy in transist that is transferred from body at higher
temperature to body at lower temperature.”
10. The thermometer reading at thermal equilibrium state gives the “temperature”.
11. ‘Temperature’ is a measure of thermal equilibrium.
12. If two different systems, A and B in thermal contact, are in thermal equilibrium
individually with another system C (thermal contact with A and B), then the
systems A and B be in thermal equilibrium with each other.
13. The SI unit of heat is Joule (J) and CGS unit of heat is calorie (cal).
14. The amount of heat required to increase the temperature of 1gram of water by
10C is called calorie.
15. 1cal = 4.186 joules
16. The SI unit of temperature is Kelvin (K). It can also be expressed as degree
Celsius ( 0C).
17. 00C = 273K
18. Temperature in Kelvin =273 + Temperature in Celsius
19. Temperature measured in Kelvin scale is called absolute temperature.

20. Bodies possess kinetic energy when they are in the motion.
21. The temperature of a body is an indicator of the average kinetic energy of mol-
ecule of that body.
22. “The average kinetic energy of the molecules is directly proportional to the abso-
lute temperature”
23. Heat is the energy that is transferred from hotter to colder body.
24. Temperature is a quantity that decides which body is hotter and which is colder.
25. Temperature decides direction of heat (energy) flow, whereas heat is the energy
that flows.
26. The rise in temperature depends on the amount of heat, mass and nature of the
material.
Factors influencing the quantity of heat :
When a cold body is heated, it absorbs heat and its temperature rises, but when a
hot body is cooled, it gives out heat and its temperature falls. It has been found that
the heat absorbed (or given out) by a body is directly proportional to
(i) mass of the body i.e., Q  m --------------- (i)
(ii) change in temperature of the body i.e., Q  (T2 – T1) --------------- (ii)
(iii) the nature of the material of the body.
combining (i) and (ii), we get, Q  m  t [ where  t = T2 – T1]
 Q = m.C.  t ---------------- (iii)
Where C is constant called specific heat of the body and its value depends on the
nature of the material of the body.
 Heat absorbed (or given out) = mass × specific heat × change in temperature.
Note : The above formula should be used whenever there is a rise (or fall) in
temperature).
Specific heat capacity or specific heat :
As Q = m.C.  t. If m = 1 unit ;  t = 1°C then Q = C, hence specific heat is the amount
of heat required to raise the temperature of unit mass of the substance through 1°C
or 1K.
Mathematically,
quantity of heat Q
Specific heat = C
mass of the substance × change in temperature m. t
[ as Q = m.C. t ]
Note :
1. Of all known substances water has the highest specific heat capacity. It can
absorb a lot of heat without its temperature going up very much. It also cools down
slower than other substances, as it has to lose more heat to cool down.
2. Because of its high specific heat capacity, water is used as a coolant in
automobile radiators. It is also used in hot water bottles as it cools down slowly.

Units of specific heat :
S.I. unit of specific heat = J kg –1 K–1
CGS unit of specific heat is cal g –1 °C–1
Since 1cal = 4.18 J therefore 1 cal g –1 °C–1 = 4180 J kg –1 K–1
Note :Water is a liquid having highest specific heat capacity i.e.,4180 J kg –1K–1.
Heat capacity or Thermal capacity :
Heat capacity of a body is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the
temperature of the (whole) body through 1°C or 1K.
Heat capacity = heat required to rise the temperature of the body through 1°C
amount of heat Q Q
Mathematically, heat capacity = = H = m × C.
Rise in temperature t t
Hence Thermal Capacity = mass × specific heat.
Units of heat capacity :
S.I. unit of heat capacity is J K –1 CGS unit of heat capacity is cal °C –1
Note : i) Thermal capacity depends on mass of the substance whereas specific heat
does not depend upon the mass of the substance.
ii) Thermal capacity and Water equivalent are numerically same. Only difference
lies in their units. The unit of water equivalent is gram.
LAW OF MIXTURES (OR) PRINCIPLE OF CALORIMETRY
If two liquids at different temperatures are mixed together, the heat lost by hot
body is equal to the heat gained by the cold body ( provided no heat is lost to the
surroundings). This is called law of mixture.
 When three substances of different masses m1, m2 and m3 specific heats s1, s2, s3
and at different temperatures 1 , 2 , and 3 respectively are mixed, then the
m1s11  m2 s22  m3s33

resultant temperature is  =
m1s1  m2 s2  m3 s3
 If two substances of specific heats s1 , s2 having masses m1 , m2 are mixed at the
m1s1  m2 s2
same temperature, effective specific heat of the mixture is s 
m1  m2
 When “x” gram of steam is mixed with “y” gram of ice, the resultant temperature
80(8 x  y )
is t  .

HEAT_SYNOPSIS-2
CHANGE OF STATE:
Matter can exist in three physical states viz, solid, liquid and vapour (or gaseous)
states. The physical state of a substance can be changed by heating or cooling.
Change of substance from one physical state to another is called change of state.
For example, water can exist in three different physical states: solid (ice), liquid
(water), and gas (water vapour). Ice (solid) can be converted into water (liquid) and
water can be converted into vapours (steam) by heating. On the other hand, water
vapours when cooled give water (liquid), which on further cooling gives ice (solid).
The transformation of various physical states of water may be described as follows.

Note : During a change of state, the temperature remains constant.

Terms associated with change of state :
(i) Fusion or Melting:
Definition : The process during which a solid changes to liquid state at some fixed
temperature by the absorption of heat energy (or heating) is called fusion or melting.
Example: Conversion of ice into water is fusion.

 melting  
 solid   liquid 
Melting point : The fixed temperature at which a solid substance gets converted into
a liquid is called its fusion point or melting point.
Example: The melting point of ice is 0 0C.
(ii) Vaporization or Boiling:
Definition : The process during which a liquid on heating changes to vapour state
at some fixed temperature is called vaporization or boiling.
Example:Conversion of water into steam is vaporization.

 boiling   steam
 liquid   gas 
Boiling point : The fixed temperature at which a liquid gets converted into vapour
state is called its vaporization point or boiling point.
Example: The boiling point of water is 100 0C.
(iii) Condensation or Liquefaction:
Definition : The process during which vapours on cooling change into liquid state
at some fixed temperature is called condensation.
Example:Conversion of steam into water is condensation.

 cooling   water
 gas   liquid 
Condensation point : The fixed temperature at which the vapour state of substance
gets converted into liquid state is called its condensation point or liquefaction
point.

(iv) Freezing or Solidification:
Definition: The process during which a liquid changes to solid state at some fixed
temperature with the liberation of heat energy (or cooling) is called solidification
or freezing.
Example: Conversion of water into ice is solidification.
freezing
water 
 solidification  ice
 liquid   solid 
Freezing point : The fixed temperature at which a liquid substance gets converted
into a solid is called its freezing point.
(v) Evaporation and sublimation:
The conversion of a liquid into vapour, at temperatures below the boiling point is
called evaporation.
A few substances change directly from solid to gas on heating and gas to solid on
cooling. This process is called sublimation and such substances are called
sublimates. Iodine, camphor, ammonium chloride and naphthalene are some
examples of sublimates.
Diagram for change of state:
sublimation
melting vapourisation
solid liquid gas
Freezing condensation
KEY POINTS
It must be remembered that solidification point and melting point have same
numerical value.
For example, if melting point of ice is 0°C, then solidification point of water is also
0°C. The only difference is that during melting the heat energy is absorbed, whereas
during solidification, the heat energy is liberated.
Similarly the numerical value of the boiling point and liquefaction point is the same.
For example, if the boiling point of water is 100°C, then liquefaction point of steam
is also 100°C.

Whenever a substance undergoes a change in state, whether from solid to liquid
or from liquid to gas, it absorbs some quantity of heat without any rise of
temperature. This heat is called latent heat. The word ‘latent’ means ‘hidden’ since
there is no rise of temperature as the heat is being absorbed, the name ‘latent heat’
is assigned to it.
Latent heat:
The amount of heat needed to change the state of a given substance without any
change in its temperature is called the latent heat.
We know that more is the mass(m) of the substance is the quantity of heat(Q)
required, i.e., Q  m or Q = mL where L is the latent heat of substance.
Q J
Unit of Latent heat: We know Q = mL  L    Jkg 1 .
m kg
Hence the S.I. unit of latent heat is Jkg –1.
Similarly the CGS unit of latent heat is cal g –1.
Types of Latent heat:
Depending upon the nature of the process, there are two kinds of specific latent
heat.
(1) The specific latent heat of fusion.
(2) The specific latent heat of vapourisation.
Specific Latent heat of fusion (Lf) :
Specific latent heat of fusion of a substance is the quantity of heat required to
convert unit mass of the substance from solid to liquid state without change of
temperature.
Example: The specific latent heat of fusion of ice is 80cal/g. This statement means
that for 1gram of ice at 0 oC to convert to water at 0 oC amount of heat required is
80cal.
Specific latent heat of vapourisation: Specific latent heat of vapourisation of a
substance is the quantity of heat required to convert unit mass of the substance
from liquid to vapour state without changing of temperature.
Example: The specific latent heat of vapourisation of water is 540cal/g. This
statement means that for 1gram of water at 100 oC to convert to steam at 100 oC
amount of heat required is 540cal.
Change of state sequence :

steam at 1000C is

the thermometer(T) reading at every 1/2 minute interval. Initially the temperature
of the solid wax increases. When its temperature raises to a certain value it
begins to melt. On further heating temperature remains constant until whole of
the solid wax is completely converted into the liquid state. This constant
temperature is called the melting point of the substance i.e. wax.

James Clerk Maxwell (1831 - 1879)
James Clerk Maxwell (13 June 1831 – 5 November 1879)
was a Scottish physicist and mathematician. His most
prominent achievement was formulating classical
electromagnetic theory. This united all previously unrelated
observations, experiments and equations of electricity,
magnetism and even optics into a consistent theory.
Maxwell's equations demonstrated that electricity,
magnetism and even light are all manifestations of the same
phen omen on , n amely the electromagn etic field.
Subsequently, all other classic laws or equations of these
disciplines became simplified cases of Maxwell's equations.
Maxwell's achievements concerning electromagnetism have
been called the "second great unification in physics", after the
first one realised by Isaac Newton. He was the first cousin of
James Clerk
Maxwell (1831 - 1879) notable 19th century artist Jemima Blackburn.
CHRISTIAAN HUYGENS (1629 - 1695)

He was a Dutch Phycisist, astronomer and mathematician.
He was the founder of the wave theory of light. Using his
theory he explained reflection, refraction of light and double
refraction exhibited by mineral calcite crystals. He was the
first to analyse circular and simple harmonic motions and
designed and built improved clocks and telescopes.
He discovered the true geometry of the rings of planet saturn.

REFLECTION OF LIGHT BY DIFFERENT

SURFACES
SYNOPSIS-1
Reflection of light: When a beam of light is incident on a surface, a part of it is returned
back into the same medium. The part of light which is returned back into the same
medium is called the reflected light.
The remaining part of light is absorbed if the surface on which the incident light
strikes is opaque or it is partly transmitted and partly absorbed if the surface is
transparent.
Reflection: The return of light into the same medium after striking a surface is called
reflection.
Reflection of light is the process which enables us to see different objects around
us. Luminous bodies are directly seen, but non luminous objects are seen only
because they reflect the light incident on them which on entering into our eyes,
make them visible.
Regular Reflection: Reflection of light is of two kinds depending on the nature of the
reflecting surface–regular reflection and diffused or irregular reflection.
When the reflecting surface is very well polished and smooth, the light that falls
on it is regularly reflected. This phenomenon is known as regular refection.
Note: Regular reflection takes place on highly polished on smooth surfaces
Ex: Plane mirror
Irregular Reflection: If the reflecting surface is irregular, the rays of light that fall
on it are scattered in all directions. This is called irregular or diffused reflection.
Note: Irregular reflection takes place on rough surfaces
Ex: Wall, wood, paper, cinema screen, ground glass etc.
Laws of Reflection: The reflection at a surface obeys the following two laws, which are
called the laws of reflection.

1. The angle of incidence ‘i’ is equal to the angle of reflection r (i.e.  i   r) . In
figure  AON =  BON.
For a ray incident normally on a surface,  i = 0 0, therefore  r = 0 0. Thus,
a ray of light incident normally on a surface is reflected back along the same
path.

2. The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal at the point of incidence,
lie on the same plane.
Formula for the angle of deviation due to reflection:
In the figure angle of incidence = i; Angle of deviation = d =?
N
A B
i r
M M1
O d
C
Consider the straight line AOC, i + r +d = 180 0
i.e the sum of angle of incidence, angle of reflection and angle of deviation is 180 0
 d = 180 – (i + r) = 180 – (i + i) (  i=r) =180 – 2i
Therefore, for an angle of incidence i, the angle of deviation is equal to
180 – 2i =   2i
Note: The deviation produced by n reflections from two plane mirrors inclined at
an angle  is given by D = n(180 –  ) = 360 - 2  , where n is even.
Image: When the rays of light, diverging from a point, after reflection or refraction,
either actually meet at some other point, or appear to meet at some other point,
then that point is called image of the object.

Reflection at a plane surface
Types of images:
a) Virtual Image: When the rays of light, diverging from a point, after reflection
or refraction, appear to diverge from another point, then the image so formed is
called virtual image
Ex: Image of our face in a plane mirror. Virtual images cannot be formed on a screen.
virtual images are always erect upright. The path of the rays forming a virtual
image is shown by dotted lines
b) Real Image: When the rays of light, diverging from a point, after reflection or
refraction actually converge at some other point then that point is real image of
the object.
Ex: Motion and still pictures projected on the screen in a cinema hall are real images.
Real images are always inverted (upside down). Real images and the path of the
rays which form them are shown by continuous lines.

Characteristics of an image formed by a plane mirror:
1. The image is formed behind the mirror and has the same size as the object
2. The image is laterally inverted.
3. The image is as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
4. The image is virtual. It cannot be received on a screen.
5. The image is erect.
Mirrors: A smooth, highly polished reflecting surface is called a mirror. One surface
of the mirror is made opaque by silvering followed by a thin coat of red lead oxide
paint.
There are two types of mirrors.
Plane mirrors: A highly polished plane surface is called a plane mirror.
Spherical mirrors: A mirror in which the reflecting surface is curved is called a
spherical mirror.

In spherical mirrors the polished reflecting surface is a part of a hollow sphere of
glass. Depending upon the nature of the reflecting surface of the mirror, spherical
mirrors are of two types.
Different types of spherical mirrors:
Concave mirror: A spherical mirror whose inner hollow surface is the reflecting
surface is called a concave mirror.
Convex mirror: A spherical mirror whose outer surface is the reflecting surface is
called a convex mirror.

Terms related to spherical mirrors:

Aperture: The width (distance) of the spherical mirror from which reflection can
take place is called its aperture. It is denoted by MM
Pole: The centre of a spherical mirror is called its pole. It is denoted by P.

Centre of curvature: The geometric centre of the hollow sphere of which the
spherical mirror is a part is called the centre of curvature of the spherical mirror.
It is denoted by C.
Radius of curvature: The radius of the hollow sphere of which the spherical mirror
is a part is called the radius of curvature of the spherical mirror. In other words,
the distance between the pole and centre of curvature of the spherical mirror (P3)
is called its radius of curvature. It is denoted by r.

Principal axis: The straight line passing through the centre of curvature and the
pole of a spherical mirror is called its principal axis (PX).
Focus: If a beam of light parallel to the principal axis falls on a concave mirror, all
the rays after reflection meet at a point. This point is called the focus (F) of the
concave mirror.
If a beam of light parallel to the principal axis falls on a convex mirror, all the
rays after reflection diverge. If the reflected rays are extended backwards, they
appear to come from a point on the principal axis. This point is called the focus of
the convex mirror.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CONCAVE MIRROR AND CONVEX MIRROR
CONCAVE MIRROR CONVEX MIRROR
Reflection takes place at the concave Reflection takes place at the convex
surface (or bent in surface) surface (or bulging out surface)
A parallel beam of light falling on this A parallel beam of light falling on this
mirror converges at a point after reflection mirror appears to diverge from a point
after reflection
It is a converging mirror It is a diverging mirror
It has a real focus It has a virtual focus
Concave Mirror As Converging Mirror: Consider two rays of light AB and DE

travelling parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror, meeting the surface of
mirror at point B and E respectively. C is the centre of curvature of the mirror. Join
CB and CE . CB and CE are perpendiculars to the surface of mirror at points B and
E, because any line drawn from the centre of a sphere to its circumference is always
at right angles to the circumference.
Thus,  ABC and  DEC are the angles of incidence. Applying laws of reflection,
make  CBF and  CEF, such that the reflected rays meet at point F on the
principal axis. Then, point F is the principal focus.
It is found that all the rays coming parallel to principal axis meet at point ‘F. In a
way the rays converge at a single point. Thus, concave mirror acts as a converging
mirror.

Conclusion:
1. Any ray of light travelling parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror, after
reflection passes through the principal focus of the mirror.
2. A ray of light which first passes through principal focus, after reflection, will
travel parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror.
3. A ray of light which first passes through the centre of a curvature of concave
mirror, after reflection, will retrace its path. It is because the ray strikes the
mirror surface at right angles.
Convex Mirror As Diverging Mirror: Consider a convex mirror, having centre of

curvature at point C, such that AB and ED are the two rays of light, travelling
parallel to the principal axis, meeting the mirror surface at points B and D
respectively. Join CB and CD and produce them forward to G and L respectively
such that BG and DL act as normals at the points of incidence B and D respectively.
Draw reflected rays BK and DH, such that the angle of incidence is equal to the
angle of reflection. Produce BK and DH backward. It is seen that these rays meet
the principal axis at point F. This point is called principal focus of the convex mirror.

It is found that all rays coming parallel to principal axis, after reflection, appear to
meet at point F. In other words, the reflected rays appear to diverge out from point
F. Hence, convex mirror is called a diverging mirror.
Conclusion:
1. Any ray of light travelling parallel to principal axis of a convex mirror, after
reflection appears to diverge from the principal focus of the convex mirror.
2. Any ray of light which travels along principal focus of a convex mirror, after
reflection from it, will travel parallel to the principal axis.
3. Any ray of light which travels along centre of curvature of a convex mirror, after
reflection from it, retraces its path. It is because, it strikes the mirror at an
angle of 90 0.
Relation between focal length (f) and radius of curvature (R):
Consider a spherical mirror, such that ‘C’ is its centre of curvature. AB is a ray of
light, incident at point B and is travelling parallel to principal axis. After reflection
this ray is reflected along BD, cutting principal axis at point F (In case of convex
mirror BD is produced backwar4), which is the principal focus of spherical mirror.

Thus, we can say that focal length of spherical mirror is half of its radius of
curvature
(or)
Principal focus of a spherical mirror lies midway, between the pole and centre of
curvature of that mirror.
FASCINATING FACT
If you look at the shadows of leaves during a solar eclipse, you will see images of the
eclipsing sun projected onto the ground. Why are these images made? Are they
present all the time or just during an eclipse?
The images are pinhole images made by the tiny holes in the leaves. They are
always present during the but are usually lost in the overall glare of light. During an
eclipse that glare is reduced somewhat

Mirror Formula – Relation Between Focal Length, Object Distance And Image
Distance of Mirror:
Definition: The equation relating the object distance, the image distance and focal
length of the mirror is called the mirror formula.
Mirror formula : The distance of an object fromt he pole of a mirror is known as
object distance. Object

distance is denotee by the letter u. The distance of image from the pole of a mirror
is known as image distance. Image distance is denoted by the letter ‘u’. The
distance of focus from the pole of a mirror is known as focal length. Focal length is
denoted by the letter f. There is a relationship between the object distance, image
distance and focal length of a spherical mirror (concave mirror or convex mirror).
This relationship is given by the mirror formula :
A formula which gives the relationship between image distance (v), object distance
(u) and focal length (f) of a spherical mirror is known as the mirror formula. The
mirror formula can be written as :
1 1 1
 
Im age dis tan ce Object dis tan ce Focal length
1 1 
or v  u  f
Where v = distance of image from mirror

u = distance of object from mirror
and f = focal length of the mirror
The mirror formula has the three values in it. If any two values are known, the third
value can be calculated. The known values should be put in this formula with their
proper signs but no sigh should be given to the unknown value to be calculated. Its
proper sign will come by itself by calculations. The proper signs of the known values
of u, v or f can be found by using New Cartesian Sign Convention for spherical
mirrors.
KEY POINT : Mirror formula is same for both concave and convex mirror
Linear Magnification:
The size of image formed by a spherical mirror depends on the position of the object
from the mirror.The image formed by a spherical mirror can be bigger than the
object, equal to the object or smaller than the object.The size of the image relative
to the object is given by linear magnification.
Definition: The ratio of height of image to the height of object is known as linear
magnification.
height of image(h2 )
Formula : Magnification (m ) 
height of object (h1 )
 h2 
For a virtual image h2 is positive and h1 is also positive, so the magnification  h 
 1
of a virtual (and erect) image is always positive. In other words, if the magnification
has a plus sign, then the image is virtual and erect. For a real image, h2 is negative

 h2 
h1 is positive, so the magnification  h  for a real (and inverted) image is always
 1
negative. In other words, if the magnification has a minus sign, then the image is
real and inverted.
Since a concave mirror can produce virtual images as well as real images, the
magnification produced by a concave mirror can be either positive or negative. A
convex mirror, however, forms only virtual images, so the magnification produced
by a convex mirror is always positive.
If we know the height (or size) of the object and that of the image, then we can
calculate the magnification by using the formula give above. Many times, however,
we do not know their heights, so we will now write another formula for calculating
the magnification produced by a spherical mirror in terms of “object distance” and
“image distance”.
The linear magnification produced by a mirror is equal to the ratio of the image
distance to the object distance, with a minus sign. That is,
Image dis tance v

Magnification  or m  
Object dis tan ce u
where m = magnification
v = image distance
and u = object distance
Thus, if we know the image distance v and the object distance u, then the
magnification m can be calculated.
So, now we have two formulae for calculating the magnification :
h2 v
m and m  
h1 u
We will use these two formulae to solve numerical problems. We can also combine
these two formula to get another formula:
h2 v

h1 u

Sign convention for spherical mirror
These days New Cartesian Sign Convention is used for measuring the various
distance in the ray-diagrams of spherical mirrors (concave mirrors and convex
mirros). According to the New Cartesian sign convention.
i) All the distance are measured from pole of te mirror as origin.
ii) Distances measured in the same direction as that of incident light are taken as
positive.
iii) Distances measured against the direction of incident light are taken as
negative.
iv) Distance measured upward and perpendicular to the principal axis are taken as
positive.
v) Distance measured downward and perpendicular to the principal axis are taken
as negative.
Direction of
incident light
(Left to right)
Object is placed on P
left side of the mirror
Against the direction In the direction

of incident light of incident light
Negative distance Positive distance
The New Cartesian Sign Convention for mirrors is shown in figure. The object is
always placed on the left side of the mirror (as shown in figure) so that the
direction of incident is from left to right. Since the incident light always goes from
left to right, all the distances measured from the pole (P) of mirror to the right side
will be consdered positive (because they will be in the same direction as the
incident ligh). On the other hand, all the distance measured from (P) of mirror to
the left side will be negative (because they are measured against the direction of
incident light)
Key point :
If an image is formed behind a concave mirror (to the rigt side), the image distance
(v) is positive but if the image is formed in front of the mirror (on the left side), then
the image distance will be negative.
The image distance (v) for a convex mirror will be always positive.
The focal length of a concave mirror is considered negative
The focal length of a convex mirror is positive

The height of an object is always considered positive.
If an image is formed above the principal axis, its height is taken as positive and
if an image is formed below the principal axis, then its height is taken as negative.
The height of all virtual and erect images is considered positive.
The height of all the real and inverted image is taken as negative.
Conclusions from the sign Convention

STRANGE PHYSICS FACT
Why is the moon red during a lunar eclipse - that is, when the moon is in the earth’s
shadow?
Even though the moon is in the earth’s shadow, sunlight can still illminate it if the
sunlight is refracted into the shadow area by passing though the earth’s atmosphere on
the edges of the earth. However, such refraction removes the blue end of the visible
spectrum for the same reason that the sky is blue and leaves only the red end of the
spectrum. Hence, the sunlight that is refracted sufficiently to illuminate the moon is red.
The same color subtraction is responsible for the red skies during sunrises and sunsets.

REFRACTION OF LIGHT AT PLANE SURFACES
SYNOPSIS-1
. Refraction of light : We know that light travels in a straight line path. This is
true as long as the light rays are travelling in the same medium having the same
density throughout. If, however, the light rays are made to go from one transparent
medium, to another transparent medium the light rays change their direction
(or ben4) at the boundary separating two media. For example, when light rays
travelling in air go into another medium say glass they change their direction (or
ben4) on entering the glass medium.
Thus, the bending of the ray of light when it travels from one medium to
another is called refraction of light.
Optically rarer medium and optically denser medium:
A transparent substance in which light travels is known as a medium. Air, glass,
water, alcohol, etc. are all examples of different media. Different media are said
to have different optical densities. The speed of light depends on the optical
density of the medium. Therefore, light travels with different speeds in different
media having different optical densities. For examples, the speed of light in air is
3 × 108 m/s, where as that in glass is 2 × 108 m/s and in water it is 2.25 × 108 m/
s. It is clear from these values that the speed of light is more in air but less in
water and least in glass. A medium in which the speed of light is more is known
as an optically rarer medium. Air is an optically rarer medium as compared to
glass and water. A medium in which the speed of light is less is known as an
optically denser medium. Glass is an optically denser medium than air and water.
Consider once again the speed of light in air, water and glass. For example, the
speed of light in water (2.25 × 108m/s) is less than that in air (3 × 108 m/s) but
more than that in glass (2 × 108 m/s). So, water is optically denser than air, but
it is optically rarer than glass.

The optical density of a medium is not the same as its mass density. For example,
turpentine is optically more dense than water as it has a greater refracting
effect on light, but has a lower mass density than water.
Cause for refraction of light: When a ray of light changes its medium, the
basic change that occurs is the change in its wavelength. This change in the
wavelength leads to the change in its velocity and the change in velocity is
responsible for its deviation; and hence, refraction takes place.
Rules for the deviation of the rays in another optical medium:
1. When a ray of light travels from a rarer medium to a denser medium, it bends
towards the normal
At the point of incidence
N
incident
ray
normal
Air (rarer i
medium) O

r

Glass
(denser
medium)
N'
Thus, when a ray of light goes from air (rarer medium) into glass (denser medium),
it bends towards the normal (at the point of incidence). In this case, the angle of
refraction (r) is smaller than the angle of incidence (i), i.e., i  r .
2. When a ray of light travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium, it bends
away from the normal
At the point of incidence
N
Normal

(denser
Incident i medium)

Air r
(rarer medium)

ray
N'
Thus, when a ray of light goes from glass (denser medium) into air (rarer medium),

it bends away from the normal (at the point of incidence). In this case, the angle
of refraction (r) is greater than the angle of incidence (i), i.e., i  r .
3. If the incident ray falls normally (or perpendicularly) on the surface of a glass
slab, then there is no bending of the ray of light and it goes straight
N
incident
Air(rarer
ray
medium)

GLASS
(denser
Refracted medium)

N'
Since the incident ray goes along the normal to the surface, the angle of incidence
in this case is zero (0°) and the angle of refraction is also zero (0°), i.e.,
i  r and i  r  0 .
Note:
1. When light travels from one medium to another, the frequency of light does not
change. However, the velocity and the wavelength of light change.
2. When a ray of light passes from rarer to denser medium it bends towards the
normal and r  i .  Angle of deviation d= i-r
3. When a ray of light passes from denser to rarer medium, it bends away from the
normal and r  i . Angle of deviation d=r-i
4. A ray of light travelling along the normal passes undeflected.
Terms related to refraction:
(i) Transparent surface: The plane surface which refracts light, is called transparent
surface. In diagram XY is the section of a plane transparent surface.

Refraction and speed of light:
The velocity of light in different mediums is different. For example,
velocity of light in air = 3 × 108 m/s ; velocity of light in water = 2.25 × 108 m/s
velocity of light in glass = 2.0 × 108 m/s
Thus, light travels at a lower speed in glass and water than in air. So, we can say
that water is optically denser than air, or air is optically rarer than water. Similarly,
glass is optically denser than air, or air is optically rarer than glass.
A ray of light travelling from an optically rarer medium (such as air) to an optically
denser medium (such as water) slows down and bends towards the normal.

Refraction through water

A ray of light travelling from an optically denser medium (such as water) to an
optically rarer medium (such as air) speeds up and bends away from the normal.
The extent to which bending of light takes place is expressed in terms of the
refractive index. It is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to that
in the medium. It is represented by the Greek letter  (mu)

Refraction through air

The speed of light in air is almost equal to that in vacuum. Therefore, for all
practical purpose, we take the speed of light in vacuum to be the same as in air.
Since, refractive index is a ratio, therefore, it has no units.

Principle of reversibility of light:

Let us now reverse the direction of the incident ray. Let the ray now pass from
medium 2 to medium 1. Further more, let it come along the line BN making an
angle  2 with the normal. Then the angle the refracted ray makes is given by:

From (1) and (2) 1 = 3 ,which means the ray passes along NA.
Thus when the direction of light ray is reversed, the ray simply retraces its
path. This statement is called the “PRINCIPLE OF REVERSIBILITY” of path of
light.

Conclusion:
The ray of light will leave the at which it entered the glass slab on the opposite
side. However, it gets laterally displace (i.e., A ray of light incident obliquely on a
parallel sided glass slab emerges out parallel to the incident ray).quely on a
parallel sided glass slab emerges out parallel to the incident ray).

(i) From the above fig; it is clear that as angle of incidence (a,2) in denser medium
increases, the angle of refraction also increases.
(ii) At a particular angle of incidence ‘C’ in the denser medium, the angle of refrac-
tion is 90° and the ray grazes along the surface.
(iii) On further increasing the angle of incidence, no light passes into the rarer
medium but the entire light is reflected back into the denser medium. (This
phenomenon is called Total Internal Reflection ( TIR)).
Definition:
Critical angle is that angle of incidence in denser medium, for which the angle
of refraction in the rarer medium is 90°.
# When a ray of light travelling in a denser medium is incident at the surface of a
rarer medium such that the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle
for the pair of media; the ray is reflected back into the denser medium. This
phenomenon is called Total internal reflection.
• If i  C then refraction takes place.
• If i  C then ray grazes along the surface

• If i  C then there is no refraction of light but total internal reflection takes
place.
During TIR; no light is refracted or transmitted or absorbed by the surface of
separation. The entire (i.e., 100 %) incident light is reflected back into the denser
medium.
Conditions for total internal Reflection:
1. Light must travel from a DENSER medium to RARER medium.
2. The angle of incidence should be greater than the critical angle for the given pair
of media. ( i  3 )

Consider the principal plane BAC of a glass prism, of refracting angle A. PQ is the

From the triangle QER, the angle of deviation TES  
  EQR  ERQ = deviation produced at Q + deviation at R
 = (i1 – r1) + (i2 – r2) = i1 + i2 – (r1 + r2);  = i1 + i2 – A. so A +  = i1 + i2.
This means the sum of angle of incidence i1 and angle of emergence i2 is equal to
the sum of angle of deviation and the angle of the prism.

Angle of incidence
The variation of angle of deviation  with angle of incidence i is as shown in
above figure. The graph shows that the same deviation occurs for two values of i.
For a given prims and for a given colour of light the angle  depens only on i. As
i increases,  first decreases, reaches a minimum value min and then increases,
min is called the angle of minimum deviaiton. The smallest value of the angle of
deviation for a given prims and for a given colour of light, is called the angle of
minimum deviation. At minimum deviation, the ray passes symetrically through
the prism. The ray QR is parallel to the base BC. Then the angle of emergence i2
equals angle of incidence i 1. It, therefore, follows that when the deviation is
minimum. r1 = r2 = r (say)

Special Cases : i) When the angle of incidence i 1 = 0°, the ray is incident on the
prism along the normal (i.e., normal incidence). The angle of refraction r1 = 0,
Then A  r1  r2  r2
Angle of deviation  = i1 + i2 – (r1 + r2) = i2 – r2
where r2 = A and i2 = sin–1(  sinA)
If r2   (critical angle), then i2  90o  Then emerging light ray just grazes the

i.e., i = 90°, r1   (critical angle) i2 = 90°r2 = 
Then A = r1 + r2 =     2
From these two cases we conclude that when the angle of the prism exceeds
twice the critical angle of the material of the prism with respect to the surrounding
medium, there will be no emergent ray. Thus 2 is called limitting angle of
prism.
For grazing incidence (i1 = 90°), r1   (the critical angle).

Then angle of deviation    i1  i2    r1  r2    90  i2   A
where i2 = sin-1[  sin  A    ]. This result is applicable only if r2   or A  2 .

Otherwise there will be no emergent ray from the second face of the prism.
Refraction through a small angled prism : If the angle of the prism is less than 6° or
0.1 radian, it is called a small angled prism.
Consider a ray falling almost normally in air on a prism of small angle A, (see
figure) then i 1 is small and so r1 is also small. For small angles, sini 1 = i1 (in
radian) and also sinr2 = r2.

  ;  Also    ; i2  r2 and A = r1 + r2

The angle of deviation d = i1+ i2 – A =  r1 +  r2 – A =  (r1 + r2 )– A =  A – A=(  -1)A
For a small angled prims, the angle of deviation does not depend on the angle of
incidence, provided i1 is small.
Dispersion of Light:
We have already seen that the refractive index depends on the material and
colour of light. For a given material, the refractive index for violet colour is the
greatest and for red colour the refractive index is the least of all colours of light.
We have also seen that for a prism as refractive index increases the angle of
minimum deviation also increases.
When white light is incident on a prism the different colours of the white light
are deviated through different angles. The deviation of violet colour is the
largest of all the colours of white light. The deviation of red colour is the least.
The deviation of the other colour is between the deviations of red violet colours.
This seperates the different colours of white light with violet and red colours at
the extreme which is called dispersion.
Dispersion: It is the seperation of white light into its constituent colours.
Spectrum: When light undergoes dispersion the band of colours obtained is called
spectrum.
The band of colours obtained with white light is violet, indigo, blue, green,
yellow, orange and red (VIBGYOR).

LENS:
Thin Lenses :
A lens is a piece of transparent, optical material bounded by two refracting
surfaces which are usually spherical, or one surface being spherical and the
other plane.
The simplest lens has two spherical surfaces close enough together that we can
neglect the distance between them ( the thickness of the lens); we call this a
thin lens . If you wear eye glasses or contact lenses while reading, you are
viewing these words through a pair of thin lenses.
Types of lenses
Lenses are two types convex or converging (in air) lens and concave or diverging(in
air) lens.

Optical centre: A point within the lens, where a line drawn through the diameter
of lens meets principal axis, is called optical centre.
It is denoted by letter O. Any ray of light which passes through optical centre, does
not suffer any refraction. It means, the ray will pass straight without changing its
path.
Principal focus for convex lens: It is a point on the principal axis of a convex
lens, where parallel beam of light rays, travelling parallel to principal axis, after
passing through the lens actually meet. It is denoted by letter F.
Principal focus for concave lens: It is a point on the principal axis of a concave
lens, from where parallel beam of light rays, travelling parallel to principal axis,
after passing through the lens, appear to come.
It is denoted by letter F.
Focal length: The distance between principal focus and optical centre is called
focal length.
It is denoted by letter F.
2F denotes double the distance of focal length. It corresponds to radius of curvature
of the sphere of which lens is a part.

Aperture: The effective diameter of the lens through which refraction takes
place is called aperture of lens. EF is the aperture of lens.
Real image: When the rays of light diverging from a point, after reflection or
refraction actually converge at some other point, then the image so formed is
called real image.
Characteristics of real image
1. Real image is always inverted
2. Real image can be taken on a screen.
3. Real image may be magnified or diminished or be same size as the object.
Virtual image: When the rays of light diverging from a point, after reflection or
refraction, appear to diverge from some other point, then the image so formed is
called virtual image.
Characteristics of virtual image
1. Virtual image is always erect.
2. Virtual image cannot be taken on screen.
3. Virtual image may be magnified or diminished or be same size as the object.

is called the lens formula.

Magnification produced by lenses:
The size of the image formed by a lens depends on the position of the object from
the lens. For example, we have seen that if the object is placed beyond 2F1, the
image formed by a convex lens is diminished and if the object is placed between
F1 and the optical centre, an enlarged image is formed. The linear magnification
is the ratio ofthe height of the image to the height of the object i.e.,
Height of the image image dis tance v

Magnification  Height of the object  object dis tance  m  
If the magnification ‘m’ has a positive value, the image is virtual and erect. On
the other hand, if the magnification ‘m’ has a negative value, the image is real

and inverted. Now areal magnification of lens is ma 

Note: For mirrors, m   . It is so because for an inverted image v is negative in
u
case of mirrors while it is positive in case of lenses.
Cartesian Sign Convention:
These days New Cartesian Sign Convention is used for measuring the various
distances during the formation of images by lenses (convex lenses and concave
lenses). According to the New Cartesian Sign Convention:
1. Object should be taken on the left side to the lens.
2. All distances are measured from the optical centre of the lenses.
3. The distances measured in the direction of the incident light are taken as positive
whereas the distances measured against the direction of the incident light are
taken as negative.
4. The distances measured upwards and perpendicular to the principal axis are
taken as positive whereas the distances measured downwards and perpendicular
to the principal axis are taken as negative.

On the basis of the New Cartesian Sign Convention, the focal length of a convex
lens is considered as power is also given the same sign as focal length positive
and the focal length of a concave lens is considered as negative.
Power of a lens:
When a beam of light passes through a lens, it gets deviated from its path. A lens
which can produce more deviation is said to be of more power.
The power of a lens is a measure of deviation produced in the path of rays,
passing through it.
A lens of short focal length deviates the rays more, while a lens of large focal
length deviates the rays less. Hence, power of a lens is expressed (or measure4)
in terms of the reciprocal of focal length.

Definition: Power of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of the focal length of

the lens, expressed in metre.
1 100
Let f = focal length of the lens power  f  in m  power  f  in cm 
Unit of the power of a lens:
The S.I unit of the power of a lens is dioptre, which is denoted by the letter D.
Note:
1. One dioptre is the power of a lens whose focal length is one metre.
2. The power of a lens can be measured directly by using an instrument called

dioptremetre. It is used by opticians to measure the power of spectacle lenses.
3. A convex lens has a positive focal length. So, the power of a convex lens is
considered to be positive and is written as +D. A concave lens has a negative
focal length, so the power of a concave lens is considered to be negative and is
denoted as –D.
Power of a combination of lenses:
If a number of lenses are placed in close contact with each other, then the power
of the combination of lens is equal to the algebric sum of the powers of individual
lenses. Thus, if two lenses of powers P1 and P2 are placed in contact with each
other, then their resultant power P is given by the algebric sum of the individual
powers P1 and P2 of the two lenses. i.e., P = P1 + P2
For example: If a convex lens of power +5 D and a concave lens of power –12D are
placed in contact with each other, then their resultant power will be,
P = P1 + P2 P = +5D + (–12)D P = 5D – 12D P = –7D
This shows that a combination of a convex lens of power +5D and a concave lens
of power –12D has a resultant power of –7D. So, this combination of convex lens
and concave lens behaves like a concave lens (of power –7D).
In optical instruments like camera, microscopes, telescopes, etc. a number of a

lenses are combined together to increase the sharpness of the image.

Lens Maker’s Formula: Lens Makers’ formuala is a relation that connects focal length
of a lens to radii curvature of the two surfaces of the lens and refractive index of
the material of the lens.
It is useful to design lenses of desired focal length using suitable material and
surfaces of suitable radii of curvature.
In derivting this formula, we use new cartesian sign conventions :
1) All distances are measure from the optical centre of the lens.
2) All thedistances measured in the direction of incidence of light are taken as
positive, whereas all the distances measured in a direction opposite to the
direction of incidence of light are taken as negative.
3) For a convex lens, f is positive and for a concave lens, f is negative, as is clear.
The assumptions made in the derivation are :
1) The lens is thin so that distances measured from the poles of its surface can be
taken as equal to the distances from the optical centre of the lens.
2) The aperture of the lens is small.
3) The object consists only of a point lying on the prinicpal axis of the lens.
4) The incident ray and refracted ray make small angles with the principal axis of
the lens.

Let us discuss the case of Convex lens : A convex lens is made up of two convex
spherical refracting surfaces. The final image is formed after two refractions. In
below figure P 1, P 2 are the poles, C1, C2 are the centres of curvature of two
surfaces of a thin convex lens XY with optical centre at C. Let 2 be the refractive
index of the material of the lens and 1 be the refractive index of the rarer
medium around the lens.

Consider a point object O lying onthe principal axis of the lens. A ray of light
starting from O and incident normally on the surface XP 1Y along OP 1 passes
straight. Another ray incident on XP1Y along OA is refracted along AB. If the lens
mateiral wer continuous and there were no boundary/second surface XP 2Y of
the lens, the refracted ray AB would go straight meeting the first refracted ray
at I1. Therefore I1 would have been a real image of O formed after refraction at
XP 1Y.

then from (5),   2 --------- (1)

Actually, then lens material is not continuous. Therefore, the refracted ray AB
suffers further refraction at B and emerges along BI, meeting actually the principal
axis at I. Therefore, I is the final real image of O, formed after refraction through
the convex lens.
For refraction at the second surface XP 2Y, we can regard I 1 as a virtual
object, whose real image is formed at I.
Therfore, u  CI1  P2I1  v1 ,
Let CI  P2I  v
Let R2 be radius of curvature of second surface of the lens.

SYNOPSIS-1
The human eye: (A Living Lens)
Our eyes enable us to see the beautiful world around us. The most important
part of our eyes is a convex lens inside it that is made of living cells.
The human eye is like a camera having a lens on one side and a sensitive screen
called the retina on the other.
The essential parts of a human eye are shown in figure.
1. Sclerotic: It is the outermost converging of the eye ball. It is made of white tough
fibrous tissues. Its function is to house and protect vital internal parts of eye.
2. Cornea: It is the front bulging part of the eye. It is made of transparent tissues.
Its function is to act as a window to world. i.e., to allow the light to enter in the
eye ball.
3. Choroid: It is a grey membrane attached to the sclerotic from the inner side. Its
function is to darken the eye from inside and, hence, prevent any internal
reflection.
4. Optic Nerve: It is a bundle of approximately 70,000 nerves originating from brain
and entering eye ball from behind. Its function is to carry optical message (visual
messages) to the brain.

5. Retina: The optic nerve on entering the ball, spreads like a canopy, such that
each nerve and attaches itself to the choroid. The nerve endings form a hemi-
spherical screen called retina. These nerve endings on the retina are sensitive
to visible light. On the retina are two important areas which we will discuss
separately. The function of retina is to receive the optical image of the object and
then convert it to optical pulses. These pulses are then sent to the brain through
optic nerve.
6. Yellow spot: It is a small area facing the eye lens. It has high concentration of
nerve endings and is slightly raised as well as slightly yellow in colour. Its function
is to very clear image by sending a large number of optical pulses to brain.
7. Blind spot: It is a region on the retina, where the optic nerve enters the eye ball.
It has no nerve endings and hence, is insensitive to the light. It does not seem to
have any function. Any image formed on this spot is not visible.
8. Crystalline lens: It is a double convex lens made of transparent tissues. It is
held in position by a ring of muscles, commonly called ciliary muscles. Its function
is to focus the images of different objects clearly on the retina.
9. Ciliary muscles: It is a ring of muscles which holds the crystalline lens in position.
When these muscles relax, they increase the focal length of the crystalline lens
and vice versa. Its function is to alter the focal length of crystalline lens so that
the images of the objects, situated at different distances, are clearly focussed on
the retina.
10. Iris: It is a circular diaphragm suspended in front of the crystalline lens. It has a
tiny hole in the middle and is commonly called pupil. It has tiny muscles arranged
radially around the pupil. These muscles can increase or decrease the diameter
of the pupil. The iris is heavily pigmented. The colour of eyes depends upon
colour of pigment. The function of iris is to control the amount of light entering in
eye. This is done by increasing or decreasing the diameter of pupil.

11. Vitreous humour: It is a dense jelly like fluid, slightly grey in colour, filling the
part of eye between crystalline lens and retinna. Its function is (i) to prevent the
eye ball from collapsing due to change in atmospheric pressure (ii) in focussing
the rays clearly on the retina.
12. Aqueous humour: It is a watery, saline fluid, filling the part of the eye between
the cornea and the crystalline lens. Its function is (i) to prevent front part of the
eye ball from collapsing with the change in atmospheric pressure (ii) to keep the
cornea moist.
Accommodation of Eye (or) Focussing of an Eye :
Definition: The ability of an eye to focus the distant objects as well as the nearby
objects on the retina by changing the focal length (or converging power) of its
lens is called ‘focusing of an eye’ or accommodation. (OR)
The ability of the human eye to change the focal length of the eye lens and to
obtain the image of any object on the retina irrespective of its distance from the
eye, is called the power of accommodation of the eye.
Distance of distinct vision: Distance of distinict vision is the distance of object
from the eye such that the eye can see that object, clearly, without any deformation
being produced in the lens.
Distance of distinct vision for a normal eye is 25cm. That is why, while reading a
book we keep it nearly at a distance of 25cm from our eye.

Note: 1. The least distance from which the normal eye can see clearly without any
strain is called least distance of distinct vision. Its value is 25cm far normal eye.
2. The far-off distance of distinct vision for normal eye is infinity.
Defects of vision and their correction:
The ability to see is called vision. It is also called eyesight. Vision is known as
drishti in Hindi. Sometimes the eye of a person cannot focus the image of an
object on the retina properly. In such cases the vision of a person becomes blurred
and cannot see either the distant objects or nearby objects (or both) clearly and
comfortably. The person is said to have a defect of vision. the defects of vision are
also known as defects of eye.
The major defects of vision are
1. Long - sightedness (hypermetropia)
2. Short - sightedness (myopia)
The mirror defects of vision are
1) Presbyopia 2) Astigmatism 3) Phorias 4) Colour blindness
Long-sightedness or Hypermetropia: This defect is a born defect.
Definition: If a person is suffering from long-sightedness or hypermetropia, he
can see far-off objects clearly, but cannot see nearby objects clearly. A persons
sees a far-off objects clearly because image is formed on the retina.
Reason: It is so because the image of near objects is formed behind the retina.
Causes:
1) The eye lens may be thinner (less converging) then the normal eye lens.
2) The eye ball may be oval, due to oval shape, distance between lens and retina
becomes less than that for normal eye.
Remedy (correction): Long-sightedness or hypermetropia is corrected by using
spectacles with convex lenses.
near by object O image
a. eye with hypermetropia
N O image
b. Correction of Hypermetropia
Hypermetropia and its correction

Explanation: When a convex lens is placed in front of the eyes, the rays coming from
the nearby object O appear to be coming from N which is the near point of the
defective eye. The rays are shown by dotted lines. Thus, by using a convex lens,
the object placed at N appears to be at near point O and the image is formed at
the retina. So the person is able to see the nearby object clearly.
Short sightedness or myopia: This defect is a born defect.
Definition: If a person is suffering from short - sightedness or myopia, he can see
nearby objects clearly, but cannot see far-off objects clearly.
A person can see a nearby object clearly because the image is formed on the
retina.
Reason:It is so because the image of distant objects is formed in front of the retina.
Causes:
1. The lens may be thicker (more converging) than the normal eye lens.
2. The eye ball may be elongated, due to elongation, distance between lens and
retina becomes more than that for normal eye.
Remedy (correction): Short sightedness or myopia can be corrected by using spectacles
with concave lenses.
Parallel rays from a
distance object

a. Eye with myopia
Concave lens
O F image
b. correction of myopia
Myopia and its correction

Explanation: When a concave lens is placed in front of the eyes, the ray coming from
a far-of object are diverged by the concave lens and appear to be coming from the
eye’s own far point F (as shown in dotted lines). Thus, by using a concave lens
the object at infinity O appears to be at far point F and the image is formed at the
retina.
Presbyopia: It is a combination of myopia and hypermetropia and is caused at old age.
Cause: Persbyopia power of accommodation of the eye due to old age.
Remedy: It is remedied by using concave lens for distinct objects and convex lens for
near objects.
Astigmatism: With this defect, the eye cannot see objects in vertical and horizontal
planes clearly simultaneously.
Cause: This is due to the irregular curvature of cornea.
Remedy: It is remedied by using cylindrical lenses.
Phorias: It is defect in the orientation of the two eyes with respect to each other. This
defect results in production of cross eyes and causes headache and eye strain.
Cause: The defect is due to the lack of balance among the muscles which hold the
eyes in their axes.
Remedy: This defect can be cured by putting prismatic lenses before the eye.
Colour blindness: It is a defect of eye by which eye is unable to give response to a
particular colour. A man suffering from colour blindness, say for green colour
will recognise a green paper as black one.
Cause: This defect arises when a particular retinal cone fails to respond to the colour.
Remedy: This defect is not curable at all.

Heat lost by water at 70°C = m × C × (70 – 42) = m × C × 28

Heat gained by water at 30°C = 175 × C × (42 – 30) = 175 × C × 12
