Explanation Total Internal Reflection: When ray of light passes from denser medium to rear medium at the interference, it is partially reflected back into the same medium and partially refracted into the rare medium. Critical angle: It is the angle of incidence where the angle of refraction is 90° and the light must travel from an optically denser medium to an optically less dense medium. Critical angle (? c ) = swe = sin − 1 ( n 2 n 1 ) Condition for total internal reflection is: The angle of incidence must be greater than the critical angle

Ray Optics

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

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…

Lateral Magnification

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…
