REFRACTION
Refraction of Light: The bending of light at the interface of
two different media is called Refraction of light.
1.The incident ray, refracted ray and normal at the point of incidence all lie in the
same plane.
2.The ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of
refraction for a pair of media and for a given colour of light is a constant. This law
is also known as Snell’s law of refraction.
This constant value is called the refractive index of the second medium with
respect to the first.
Refractive Index: It represents the amount or extent
of bending of light when it passes from one medium
to another.
and
Absolute refractive index: Refractive index of the medium with respect to air or
vacuum is called Absolute Refractive Index.
This ray refracts in the glass slab and goes along QR as a refracted ray
(as shown in the figure) and becomes incident on face DC at point R from
inside the slab ∠RQN2 is called angle of refraction.
Now the ray emerges or comes out of the slab along RS making an angle ∠SRN4= e,
called the angle of emergence.
This emergent ray is parallel to the extended incident ray because the extent of
bending of the ray of light at the opposite parallel faces AB(air - glass interface) and
CD(glass- air interface) of the glass slab is equal and opposite.
Sin i = sin e
∠i=∠e
A transparent material bound by two surfaces, of which one or both surfaces are
spherical, forms a lens.
A lens bounded by two spherical surfaces, curved inwards is known as double concave
lens (or simply concave lens)
CONVEX LENS
2. Principal axis :Imaginary straight line passing through the two centres of curvature
3. Optical Centre : The central point of the lens is its optical centre (O). A ray of light,
when passing through ‘O’ it remains undeviated i.e. it goes straight.
5. Focus of lens : Beam of light parallel to principal axis, after refraction from
(a)After refraction, a ray parallel to the principal axis will pass through F.
(b)A ray passes through F, after refraction will emerge parallel to principal axis
(c)Ray passing through the optical centre of the convex and concave lens emerges in
the same direction without any deviation.

Magnification
m= h’/h
It is also related to ‘u’ & ‘v’
m= v/u
Few Tips to Remember Sign Convention for Spherical Lens

h is always +ve
Power of Lens
P= 1/f(metre)
If F is given in cm , then
P= 100 /f(cm)
SI unit of power of a lens is “diopter” denoted by ‘D’
