Teaching Notes (Optic)
•
The study of light and vision is called optics.•
Light is a form of energy which is propagated as Electromagnetic waves which produces thesensation of sight in us.
•
Geometrical optics treats propagation of light in terms of rays and is valid only if wavelength of light much lesses than the size of obstacles.i) Light does not require a medium for its propagation ii) It’s speed in free space (vaccum) is 3 x 108m/s
iii) It is transverse in nature
•
In the spectrum of e.m.w. it lies between u.v. and infra-red region and has wavelength between 4000 to 7000 A . i.e O(
0.4µm to 0.7µm)
Indigo is not distensible from blue. BASIC - DEFINATIONS
•
Source:A body which emits light is called source. Source can be a point one (or) extended one. (a) Self-luminous-source: The source which possess light of it own.
Ex:- Sun, Electric arc, Candle, etc.
(b) Non-luminous-Source: It is a source of light which does not possesses light of its own but acts as source of light by reflecting the light received by it.
Ex: Moon, object around us, Book…….etc.
•
Isotropic Source: It gives out light uniformly in all directions.•
Non-isotropic Source: It do not give out light uniformly in all direction.•
Medium: Substance through which light propagates is called medium
•
Ray: The straight line path along with the light travels in a homogeneous medium is called aray. A single ray cannot be propagated form a source of light.
•
Beam: A bundle can bunch of rays is called beam it is called beam it is of following 3 types•
Convergent-beam: In this case diameter of beam decreases in the direction of ray
•
Divergent Beam: It is a beam is with all the rays meet at a point when produced backward andthe diameter of beam goes on increasing as the rays proceed forward.
•
Parallel Beam: It is beam in which all the rays constituting the beam move parallel to eachother and diameter of beam remains same
•
Object: An optical object is decided by incident rays only. It is if two kinds•
Real Object: In this case incident rays are diverging and point of divergence is the position of real object.
•
Virtual Object: In this case incident ray are converging and point of convergence is the position of virtual object. Virtual object cannot be seen by human eye be cause for an object can image to be seen by eyes, ray received by eyes must be diverging.
•
Image: An optical image is decided by reflected (or) refracted rays only. It is of two types. (a) Real Image: This is formed due to real intersection of reflected (or) refracted rays, Real image can be obtained on screen.
•
Virtual-Image: This is formed due to apparent intersection of reflected (or) refracted light rays. Virtual image can’t be obtained on screen.(Note: Human ray can’t distinguish between real and virtual image because in both case rays are diverging)
•
REFLECTION:The phenomenon by virtue of which incident light energy is partly or completely sent back into the same medium from which it is coming after being obstructed by a surface is called reflection.
The direction of incident energy is called incident ray and the direction in which energy is thrown back is called reflected ray. It is of two types.
•
LAWS OF REFLECTION:1) First Law: The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence, all lie in one plane which is ⊥'rto the reflecting surface.
2) The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection ∠i =∠r. Note:
1) The laws of reflection are valid for any smooth reflecting surface irrespective of geometry.
2) Whenever reflection takes place, the component of incident ray parallel to reflecting surface remains uncharged, while component perpendicular to reflecting surface (i.e. along normal) reverse in direction.

Image formed by a plane mirror:a) Point Source: For construction of image of a point source it is sufficient to consider any two rays falling on mirror. The point of intersection of corresponding reflected rays give the position of image as shown in figure.
OA = AI
(
∴∆ABD ≅∆ABI)
Image I lies as much behind the mirror as the object is in front of it. b) Extended source:
•
Characteristics of the image formed by a plane mirror:1) The image formed by a plane mirror is Virtual 2) The image formed by a plane mirror is Erect
3) The image formed by a plane mirror is of same size as object.
4) The image formed by a plane mirror is at the same distance behind the mirror is the object is infront of it.
5) The image is laterally inverted (i.e.) right appear as left and vice-versa.
6) Note: If two plane mirror faring each other are inclined at an angle θ with each other, then number of images are formed due to multiple reflection. This principle is used in the toy
kaleidoscope. (a) If
θ
360
is even integer, then number of images formed is =360 −1

Deviation (δ): The angle between incident and reflected (or) refracted ray is termed as deviation.Cases: When i = 0 (Normal incidence) π δmax = When 2 π = i (Grazing incidence) 0 min = δ Multiple Reflection:
∑
= i net δδ δi = deviation due to single reflection.
Note while summing up, sense of rotation is taken into account.

Number of Images Formed by two Inclined-Plane Mirrors:a) When mirror are parallel: In this case, infinite images are formed due to multiple reflections.
b) When mirror are perpendicular: In this case, three images are formed. The ray diagram is shown.
Note that the third image is formed due to rays undergoing two successive reflection. Also, object and its images lie on a circle whose equation is given by x2+y2 =a2+b2.
When an object is placed in front of arrangement of three mutually perpendicular mirror, then total seven images are formed.
Further, object and its image lie on a sphere whose equation is given by
2 2 2 2 2 2 y z a b c
x + + = + + , where a, b and c are co-ordinates of object.

REFLECTIN FROM CURVED SURFACE: (Spherical – Surface only)
A curved mirror is a smooth reflecting part of any geometry. The nomenclature of curved mirror depends on the geometry of reflecting surface. There are different types of curved mirror like paraboloidal, ellipsoidal, cylindrical, spherical ….etc.

•
Rules for Ray-Diagrams1) A ray of light parallel to principal axis passes (or) appears to pass through four after reflection.
2) A ray of light passing through focus (or) appears to pass through focus becomes parallel to principal-axis after reflection.
3) A ray of light passing through (or) appears to pass through centre of curvature is reflected back.
4) A ray of light hitting pole is reflected making equal angle with principal oxis
Note: 1) Focal length and radius of curvature of plane mirror =

2) Concave mirror = Convergent mirrorConvex mirror = Divergent mirror

( )
or m f f v f f v = − − − =Note: a) +ve magnification mean both object and image are upright
b) –ve magnification means, object and image have different orientation (i.e.) if object is upright, then image is inverted.
For extended objects the lateral magnification can be obtained by independently imaging the two end points and calculating the length of the image. There is no direct formula to obtain the magnification.
However, if the length of the object is small, them the lateral magnification can be directly obtained from equation
f v u 1 1 1 = +
Differentiating both sides, we get 0 2 2 − = − v dv u du =− = L m u v du dv 2 2
Q: 1) What do we do if the size of the object is large as compared to the distance u? Analysis:

∴
Subtracting VB from VA, we can calculate the length of the image.•
Combinations of mirrors:What do we do if we have a combination of mirror? If an object is placed between the mirrors, how do we find the final position of he image?
Analysis: In such situations, we need to simply solve for the reflection at each of the mirror keeping in mind that the image formed by the first mirror is the object of the second mirror and so on.

CONCEPT OF NEWTON’S FORMULA (FOR A MIRROR)In this formula, the object and image distance are expressed w.r.t. focus. Consider an object O kept beyond ‘C’ of a concave mirror, and whose image is formed at I with in C.
Let OF = x and IF = y From triangle OMC
(
π α)
α θ sin sin sin OM OM OC = − = …………(1)And from triangle ICM
α θ sin sin IM IC = ………….(2)
Dividing equation (1) and (2) yields IP OP IM OM IC OC = = (since M is close to P) (or) xf−−fy =xf++fy y f f y x f x y f y x f f x − 2+ − = − + 2− (or) x y=f 2 y x f = ∴ 1) As xy =f 2 (or) y xα1
(i.e.) The distance of object and image form the focus are inversely proportional to each other. In other words, the more the object distance (from the focus), the less will be the image distance (from the focus) and vice versa
2) If x→0; y→∞ and if x→∞; y→0. If the object is at focus the image is a far off distance and vice-versa.
3) From xy = f2; if x = f , then y = f .
Thus, if the object be at C, then image will also be at C (for a concave mirror) and if the object is at P, then the image will also be at P (for a convex mirror)
4) Since f 2 is necessarily +ve for both types of mirror, so x and y bear the same sign, which
implies that both the object and the image always lie an the same side of focus. A) GRAPH OF | x | Versus | y | :
Since xy =f 2 represents a rectangular hyperbola, existing in the first and third quadrant
( f 2 being positive).
∴
The graph of |y| vs |x| will be a rectangular hyperbola existing only in the first quadrant.B) GRAPH OF U Versus V :
Since xy =f 2
(
u−f)(
v−f)
=f 2∴
For a convex mirror, u is always negative and V is always positive. Further ‘f’ is also positive.
This is the equation of a rectangular hyperbola with its origin shifted to
(
f , f)
and ’x’ being always negative while y lies between O and f. (see figure) for a concave mirror, u is always negative, v can be positive (or) negative, ‘f’ is negativef f and y v x u= = =− ∴ , We have, form

= f 2(
u+f)(
y+f)

x−(

[
y−(

= f2Evidently it is again an equation of a rectangular hyperbola with origin of coordinates shifted to the point (-f, -f) (see figure↓)
3) GRAPH OF v 1 VERSUS u 1
From mirror formula f u v 1 1 1+ = Putting x u = 1 and y v = 1 , we have y y x+ =1
It is the equation of a straight line having a slope +1 (or) -1 according as u and v bear the same (or) opposite signs. The intercepts on x and y axis are each

CONCEPT OF CRITICLA ANGLEWhen a ray of light is traveling form denser medium to rarer medium, it get refracted and the ray derivates away form the normal.
If we keep increasing angle of incidence then at an angle, the angle of refraction becomes 900 . This is known as Critical –Angle (c).
When angle of incidence is increased, further the ray gets reflected back in the same medium. This phenomena is known as T.I.R.
