Mirrors are objects that reflect almost all of the light that falls on them. There are two main types of mirrors: flat mirrors, also known as plane mirrors, and curved mirrors, also known as spherical mirrors. This article focuses on…
This short article will teach us the rules for drawing ray diagrams for spherical mirrors. So, let’s get started… What are spherical mirrors? Spherical mirrors are mirrors that have a curved surface with the shape of a section of a…
In this short article, we will derive a relationship between focal length and radius of curvature. So, let’s get started… Relation between focal length and radius of curvature Relation between ƒ and R: Consider a ray parallel to the principal…
In this short piece of article, we will discuss the cartesian sign convention for spherical mirrors. So let’s get started… Cartesian sign convention for spherical mirrors Here are the sign conventions commonly used in the Cartesian sign convention for spherical…
Spherical mirrors are mirrors that have a curved reflecting surface, which can either be convex (outwardly curved) or concave (inwardly curved). The reflecting surface they have is shaped like a portion of a sphere. They are commonly used in a…
Reflection of light Reflection of light: The bouncing back of a ray of light after colliding with a surface in the same medium is called reflection. Light always travels in a straight line; when it falls on a surface, it…
When light encounters the interface between two different media, such as air and water or air and glass, its behavior can be described by several principles, including reflection, refraction, and transmission. Let’s discuss each of these behaviors: Reflection of light…
Optics is a branch of physics that deals with the study of light, its behavior, and its interaction with matter. It encompasses the understanding of how light is generated, how it propagates through different media, and how it interacts with…
In this article, we will study the Laws of refraction. Earlier we have discussed the laws of reflection, Definition, and types of reflection, Particle nature of light, reflection at the plane mirror, and other topics. What are the laws of…
Simple Microscope class 12 What is a simple microscope? Definition: A simple microscope is used to view the magnified image of an object. It is made up of a convex lens. The convex lens produces a virtual, erect, and magnified…
