a) Diffraction is due to the wave nature of light and occurs due to the deviation of light from the straight-line path when the light passes through an aperture or around an obstacle. b) The angle of incidence, called the polarizing angle 8 satisfies Brewster's law, and is independent of the wavelength of light. c) Light of wavelength 550 nm enters a human eye with a diameter of 2.00 mm. Hence the limiting angle of resolution for this eye is about 3.35 x104 rad.

Optics is the study of light in the field of physics. It refers to the study and properties of light. Optical phenomena can be classified into three categories: ray optics, wave optics, and quantum optics. Geometrical optics, also known as ray optics, is…

Converging lens, also known as a convex lens, is thinner at the upper and lower edges and thicker at the center. The edges are curved outwards. This lens can converge a beam of parallel rays of light that is coming from outside and focus it on a point on…

To understand the topic well we will first break down the name of the topic, ‘Plano Convex lens’ into three separate words and look at them individually.

In very simple terms, the same object can be viewed in enlarged versions of itself, which we call magnification. To rephrase, magnification is the ability to enlarge the image of an object without physically altering its dimensions and structure. This pr…
