Distinguish between specualr reflection and diffuse reflection.
Solution
Most things that we see (people, cars, houses, animals, trees, etc.) do not themselves emit visible
light but reflect incident natural sunlight and artificial light. For instance, an apple appears a
shiny red color because it has a relatively smooth surface that reflects red light and absorbs other
non-red (such as green, blue, and yellow) wavelengths of light. The reflection of light can be
roughly categorized into two types of reflection:specular reflection is defined as light reflected
from a smooth surface at a definite angle, and diffuse reflection, which is produced by rough
surfaces that tend to reflect light in all directions . There are far more occurrences of diffuse
reflection than specular reflection in our everyday environment
o visualize the differences between specular and diffuse reflection, consider two very different
surfaces: a smooth mirror and a rough reddish surface. The mirror reflects all of the components
of white light (such as red, green, and blue wavelengths) almost equally and the reflected
specular light follows the same angle from the normal, as does the incident light. The rough
reddish surface, however, does not reflect all wavelengths because it absorbs most of the blue
and green components, and reflects the red light. Also, the diffuse light that is reflected from the
rough surface is scattered in all directions.
Perhaps the best example of specular reflection, which we encounter on a daily basis, is the
mirror image produced by a household mirror that people might use many times a day to view
their appearance. The mirror\'s smooth reflective glass surface renders avirtual image of the
observer from the light that is reflected directly back into the eyes. This image is referred to as
\"virtual\" because it does not actually exist (does not produce light) and appears to be behind the
plane of the mirror due to an assumption that the brain naturally makes. The way in which this
occurs is easiest to visualize when looking at the reflection of an object to one side of the
observer, so that the light from the object strikes the mirror at an angle and is reflected at an
equal angle to the viewer\'s eyes. As the eyes receive the reflected rays, the brain assumes that
the light rays have reached the eyes in a direct straight path. Tracing the rays backward toward
the mirror, the brain perceives an image that is positioned behind the mirror. An interesting
feature of this reflection artifact is that the image of an object being observed appears to be the
same distance behind the plane of the mirror as the actual object is in front of the mirror..
This document provides an overview of the grade 11 physical science topic of light, including geometrical optics. It discusses the nature of light, reflection of light, refraction of light, and lenses. Reflection is defined as the bouncing of light off a surface, while refraction is the bending of light when passing from one medium to another. Examples of refraction include light bending as it passes from air to water. Lenses are able to refract light in a way that converges or diverges the beams, with converging lenses bringing light to a focus and diverging lenses spreading it out. Diagrams are provided to illustrate reflection, refraction, and the use of lenses to form images.
Optics is the study of light, including its interactions with mirrors, lenses and other objects. When light strikes an object it can be reflected, transmitted, scattered or absorbed. Mirrors come in three types - plane, concave and convex. Plane mirrors reflect light at the same angle it is received. Concave mirrors curve inward and can form real or virtual images, while convex mirrors curve outward and always form virtual images. Lenses also come in concave and convex forms, with convex lenses able to form real or virtual images depending on the object position. Optical instruments like telescopes, microscopes and cameras use lenses and mirrors to collect, focus and magnify light and images.
Light is a form of energy that allows for vision. It travels in straight lines and can form shadows. Advanced light detection technology can detect single photons, measure light from the universe, and track fast processes in living cells down to billionths of a second. Concave mirrors are used in telescopes to focus faint light from space, while convex mirrors give a wider field of vision useful for security and vehicles. Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface, either diffusely scattering in all directions from a rough surface or specularly at the same angle from a smooth surface like glass or metal.
This document discusses different properties and behaviors of light, including reflection, refraction, and detection methods. It explains that light is a form of energy that allows for vision. Advanced cameras can now detect single photons and measure ultrafast light changes. Concave mirrors are used in reflecting telescopes to view distant objects, while convex mirrors provide wider views for security and vehicles. Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface, either diffusely from rough surfaces or specularly from smooth surfaces at the same angle. Refraction is the change in light's direction when passing from one medium to another, governed by Snell's law.

Light is a form of energy that enables vision. Light travels in straight lines, and its direction can be changed via reflection or refraction. Reflection is the change in direction of light when it bounces off a surface like a mirror. The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Reflection forms real or virtual images depending on whether light rays converge or appear to diverge. Spherical mirrors like concave and convex mirrors can form real or virtual images of different sizes and orientations. Lenses also refract light to form real or virtual images. Prisms disperse white light into visible colors via refraction.
Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that travels in waves. It can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed when it interacts with matter. Light travels in straight lines until it encounters an object, where it can be reflected, refracted, scattered, or absorbed. The speed and direction of light changes when moving between materials of different densities. Light is visible to humans in the form of different wavelengths that make up the visible spectrum.
Light is electromagnetic radiation that travels in waves. It has properties of both waves and particles. Light waves have different wavelengths and frequencies that determine their energy levels. Light can be reflected, refracted, absorbed, or transmitted when it interacts with matter. Common light sources produce light through incandescence or luminescence. The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses all types of electromagnetic radiation including visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma rays and more, arranged by wavelength and frequency.

Light is a form of energy that travels in waves and can be classified as either luminous (light-emitting) or non-luminous (not light-emitting). Luminous objects like stars emit light in all directions, while non-luminous objects like the moon can only be seen when light reflects off of their surfaces. Light travels in straight lines called rays, and its interaction with materials determines whether shadows are formed and how objects appear. The document goes on to describe properties of reflection, refraction, the formation of colors, and more.

Light is an electromagnetic wave that spreads in a straight line and exhibits properties like energy, visibility, and transverse vibration. Mirrors reflect light via specular or diffuse reflection depending on the surface, obeying the law of reflection. Concave and convex mirrors produce focused or divergent reflected beams with particular reflection points. Mirrors have many applications including rear-view mirrors, telescopes, microscopes, and signaling over long distances.
This document provides an overview of reflection of light and different types of mirrors. It begins by defining light and different light sources, including self-luminous sources like the sun that emit their own light and non-luminous sources like the moon that reflect light. It describes the laws of reflection, including that the incident, reflected, and normal rays lie in the same plane and the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Plane mirrors are described as forming virtual, erect images that are laterally inverted. Spherical mirrors are introduced, including concave and convex mirrors and their focal points. Characteristics of images formed by different mirrors are also summarized.
Our main source of light is the sun. Light is a form of energy that allows us to see and is essential for life on Earth. Plants use sunlight for photosynthesis to produce food and oxygen. Sunlight also warms the Earth and drives weather patterns through heating and wind. Too much sunlight can damage skin and eyes, so protection is needed with long exposure.
This document discusses the properties of light, including reflection and refraction. Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface, such as a mirror. Mirrors are smooth, shiny surfaces that reflect light and allow us to see virtual images. Plane mirrors produce upright, virtual images located behind the mirror. The light rays from an object strike the mirror and reflect towards the eye, making the brain perceive the image coming from behind the mirror.
1) Light travels as waves and can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed when it interacts with matter. It is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and travels extremely fast.
2) Mirrors reflect light following the law of reflection, forming virtual images. Plane, convex, and concave mirrors have different shapes and uses.
3) Refraction occurs when light changes speed as it passes from one medium to another, causing it to bend. Refraction through lenses forms real images and enables vision corrections and camera lenses.
When light travelling in one medium falls on the surface of second medium the following three effect may occur.
1:- A part of incident light is reflected back into the same medium. This is called Reflection of light.
2:- A part of light is passes through the medium.This Is known as Refraction of light.
3:- And remaining part of the light is absorbed by the surface on which the light fall. This is known as Absorption of light.
This document provides an overview of light and vision. It defines luminous and non-luminous objects, and explains that light reflects off of non-luminous objects allowing us to see them. Reflection of light is demonstrated using a ray box experiment. The document also describes the anatomy of the human eye, including the iris, pupil, retina, and lens. It explains how the eye focuses on near and far objects by changing the thickness of the lens. Common vision defects like myopia and hyperopia are also outlined.
Light refracts and reflects when moving between materials of different densities. Refraction causes light to bend when entering a denser medium, following Snell's law. Total internal reflection occurs when light hits a boundary at an angle greater than the critical angle, causing all light to reflect inside the denser medium rather than passing through.
This document defines and provides examples of luminous and non-luminous objects, and describes the properties and behavior of light rays, shadows, reflection, refraction, color, and optical instruments like mirrors, prisms, and periscopes. Key terms discussed include transparent, translucent, and opaque materials; angles of incidence and reflection; real and virtual images; absorption and reflection of color; and how rainbows are formed by light refraction in water droplets.
The chapter Lifelines of National Economy in Class 10 Geography focuses on the various modes of transportation and communication that play a vital role in the economic development of a country. These lifelines are crucial for the movement of goods, services, and people, thereby connecting different regions and promoting economic activities.
Electrochemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the relationship between electrical energy and chemical changes. It primarily involves redox reactions, where oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously. Here are the key concepts and principles of electrochemistry for Class 12 and JEE preparation.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

6.1 LIGHT
What is light?
Light is a form of energy.
Light travels in straight lines. Light travels along paths called rays. A
beam of light is a stream of light energy, or a bundle of rays which
can be parallel, converging or diverging.
Light travels in vacuum with a speed of 300 million m/s (in standard
form, 3 108
m/s). This is an incredibly high speed, 3 hundred
thousand kilometres in a single second.
6.1.1 Visibility
An object can be seen when light from the object enters our eyes. Objects
which absorb light completely seem white and those objects that reflect
light completely look black.
There are two types of objects –
Luminous objects which give out light of their own eg. sun, stars, flame,
lamp and fireflies.
Non-luminous objects which do not give out light of their own eg.
moon, paper etc. Non-luminous objects have different degrees of
transparency -
Opaque – objects that do not allow light to pass through. We cannot
see through them. Most of the objects around us are opaque.
Transparent – objects that allow almost all the light falling on them
to pass through. We can see clearly what is behind a transparent
object.
Translucent – objects that diffuse or scatter light and allow only
some light to pass through. We cannot see clearly what is behind a
translucent object eg. frosted window and veil. A translucent object
is something that is in between an opaque and a transparent object.

2. 6.1.2 Sources and propagation of light
The objects from which we obtain light are known as the sources of light. It is of two types – natural
sources (sun, star, etc.) and artificial sources (candle, torch, etc.). When a source of light emits both light
and heat it is called hot source of light and those that emit only light are called cold source of light. All
incandescent bodies are hot sources of light.
Light travels in straight line if the medium is same and this is known as the rectilinear propagation of
light. Images and shadows are formed because of the rectilinear propagation of light.
A shadow is an area where light is blocked by an opaque
object.
Umbra Penumbra
A totally dark shadow A partially dark
shadow

Produced by extended
light source
6.2 REFLECTION OF LIGHT
Reflection is the bouncing of light off an object.
The ray of light falling on any surface is referred to as
the incident ray. The point at which the incident ray
falls on the mirror is the point of incidence. The ray
that comes back from the surface after reflection is
referred as the reflected ray. The perpendicular drawn
at the centre is called the normal at that point. The
angle between the incident ray and the normal is called
the angle of incidence (i). Likewise, the angle
between the reflected ray and the normal is called the
angle of reflection (r).
6.2.1 Types of reflection
Reflection are of two types -
Regular reflection – Reflection from a smooth surface like mirror or polished metal which produces
sharp images with all the beams reflected in only one direction.
Diffused reflection – Reflection from a rough surface when parallel beams of light are reflected in
various different directions or are scattered. NO image is formed in diffused reflection eg. paper has
uneven surface, we cannot see an image of ourselves in an ordinary piece of paper. It is because of
diffused/irregular reflection, we are able to see objects from every direction.

3. LAWS OF REFLECTION
The angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection i.e. i = r
The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal at the point of incidence all lie in the same plane.
6.2.2 Plane mirror
Mirror consists of a piece of thin, flat glass with a coating of silver or aluminum on one side protected by
a coat of paint. Images formed by a plane mirror have the following characteristics:
Virtual (not real and image cannot be caught on screen)
Same size as that of the object
As far behind the mirror as the object is in front of it
Laterally inverted (images turn from left to right)
Upright
Virtual images are images which seem to be there but no light actually reaches eg. images in mirrors or
enlarged words when magnifying glasses are used to read.
What is the difference between a real and a virtual image?
Real image Virtual image
Can be captured on a screen Cannot be projected or captured on a screen
After reflection, the rays of light actually meet at a
point.
After reflection, the rays of light appear to meet at
a point.
Always inverted Always erect, but laterally inverted

4. Multiple reflections
Multiple reflections occur when two plane mirrors are held at some angles and an object is placed
between them. Many images can be seen and the number (n) of images formed, if is the angle of
inclination between two mirrors, is
n
360 360
1; if is even
360 360
; if is odd
Significance of -1 is that it shows the last two images coinciding with each other.
6.2.3 Methods for constructing reflection ray diagrams
Step 1 - Draw a normal
perpendicular to the
mirror from the object.
Step 2 - Measure the
distance of the object to
the mirror, (let it be x
cm). Along the normal,
x cm behind the mirror
is the location of the
image.
Step 3 - Draw a light
ray from the image to
the eye. The ray
between the mirror and
the eye are actual light
ray (to be drawn as
complete line). The rays
behind the mirror are
virtual light rays (to be
drawn with dotted lines)
Step 4 - Join the
incident ray from the
object to the reflected
ray which is drawn
earlier. Finally add the
arrows to indicate the
directions of light rays.
6.2.4 Kaleidoscope
The principle of forming multiple images
by mirrors at an angle to each other is
used in a toy and termed as kaleidoscope.
It comprises of three plane mirrors
inclined at an angle of 60 to each other.
The entire arrangement is placed in a
cylindrical cardboard box with a few
pieces of colored glass at one end. The
mirrors form multiple images of these
glass pieces resulting in beautiful
patterns when seen from the other end.
On rotating the cylindrical box, the pattern changes continuously as the position of glass pieces shifts.

5. Exercise 1:
If two plane mirrors are kept at right angles to each other, how many images will be formed?
6.2.5 Spherical mirror
Spherical mirrors are part of spherical reflecting surfaces. They are made from hollow glass spheres. If a
portion of the hollow sphere is cut along a plane and silvered, it serves as a spherical mirror.
If the portion APB is silvered such that the depressed surface becomes
the reflecting surface, then it is called a concave spherical mirror. In
contrast, if the silvering is done to the bulged surface thereby, serving
as the reflecting surface, it is called a convex spherical mirror.
Concave mirror: It is that kind of mirror where reflection takes place
at inner surface while the outer surface is polished.
Convex mirror: It is that kind of mirror where reflection takes place at
outer surface while the inner surface is polished.
6.3 REFRACTION OF LIGHT
Refraction is the bending of light when it passes from one
transparent material to another.
Refraction is due to the different speeds of light in different media.
6.3.1 Effects of refraction
An object in water appears nearer to the surface than it really is
eg. swimming pools appear shallower than they actually are,
and glass looks thinner than it really is.
An object half immersed in water appears to be bent at the water surface.
Refraction allows our eyes to focus.

6. 6.3.2 Refractive index of a medium
Refractive index is a material constant, defined as the ratio of velocity of light in air or vacuum to the
velocity of light in the medium. It is a measure of optical density of the medium. The denser a material is,
higher is the refractive index of the material. Also, more the refractive index of the medium, more the
light bends while travelling in that medium.
Refractive index for a medium, μ =
/
=
When incident ray travels from rarer to
denser medium, the refracted ray bends
towards the normal.
Whereas when incident ray travels from
denser to rarer medium, the refracted ray
bends away from the normal. Because of
this, the depth of a pond or the thickness of
a glass slab appears to be less than the actual
value.
When a coin is placed in an empty beaker and water is poured into it, the coin appears to be raised. This
happens due to refraction of light. The depth of the coin due to optical illusion is known as apparent
depth and the actual depth is known as the real depth.
The diagram shows the difference between the real depth and the
apparent depth of an object under water. We see the object closer
than its real depth to the surface. We see the object only if the
rays coming from it reaches our eyes. In this picture, ray coming
from the fish reaches the observer’s eye after refraction. Thus,
observer sees the image of the fish at the distance Da from the
surface which is the apparent depth of the fish. On the contrary,
fish sees the objects away from their real distances. These are all
results of the refraction of light.
The relation between the apparent depth and the real depth in terms of refractive index is
μ =
Exercise 2:
Why does light bend during refraction?
6.3.3 Dispersion
Dispersion is a kind of refraction in which the amount of bending depends on the wavelength i.e. the
color. This is because the speed of light in a medium depends on the color. In general for glass and similar
materials, red light travels faster than blue light, but both slow down compared with the vacuum.
Examples are the colors produced by prisms, diamonds and rainbows.

7. When white light is passed through a prism, it splits into seven different colours i.e. VIBGYOR (violet,
indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red) which is known as the spectrum. In a prism, the amount of
bending depends on the wavelength or color because the speed of light depends on the color. In other
words, the index of refraction depends on the color. Thus, blue light has a higher index of refraction than
red light, and so is bent (refracted) more.
Dispersion by prism
6.4 LENS
Lens is transparent materials usually made of glass or plastic bounded by one curved surface and another
flat surface or by two curved surfaces. Lenses are of various shapes and sizes and used in many optical
instruments like spectacles, magnifying glass, projector, microscope and telescope.
6.4.1 Types of lens
Spherical lens: It is the segment of a sphere that refracts rays of light equally in all meridians.
Concave lens: It has the reflecting surface curved inward and causes light to spread out or diverge, thus
also referred as a diverging lens.
Convex lens: It has outward curves, the ends are narrow and the middle is wide. It is often referred to as a
converging lens as light passing through a convex lens converges to a point. This point is also called as
the focal point. A convex lens can produce either a real or virtual image.
RELATED TERMS
Optical centre: The geometric centre of a curved lens where no deviation of light occurs.

8. Principal axis: The imaginary horizontal line passing through the optical centre and focus.
Principal focus: The point on the principal axis where light rays traveling parallel to the principal axis
after refraction actually meet (for a convex lens) or appear to meet (for a concave lens).
Focal length: The distance between the centre of lens and its focus.
6.4.2 Images formed by concave lens
Characteristics of the images formed by a concave lens according to the position of the object:
Case 1: When the object is at infinity, the image
formed is
virtual and erect
highly diminished
at the principal focus (F1) in front of the
concave lens.
Case 2: When the object is between infinity and
the optical centre of the lens, the image formed
is
virtual and erect

6.5 HUMAN EYE
6.5.1 Structure of the eyes
The eye is our organ of sight. The eye has a number of components which includes –
Cornea: clear front window of the eye that transmits and focuses light into the eye.
Iris: colored part of the eye, situated behind the cornea; helps regulate the amount of light that enters.
Pupil: dark aperture in the iris that determines how much light is let into the eye.
Lens: transparent convex structure of variable thickness that focuses light rays onto the retina.
Retina: nerve layer that lines the back of the eye, senses light, and creates electrical impulses that
travel through the optic nerve to the brain.
Optic nerve: connects the eye to the brain and carries the electrical impulses formed by the retina to
the visual cortex of the brain.
Rods: sensitive to dim light, can detect colour
Cones: cells present in retina, sensitive to bright light
Blind spot: spot of no sensory cells in the retinal region at the junction of optic nerve and retina.
VAVA CLASSES/PHY/8TH
All right copy reserved. No part of the material can be produced without prior permission
10. Ciliary muscles: moves the lens to enable light from objects at different distances to be focused on
the retina; the process is called accommodation.
Aqueous humour: transparent liquid present in the region between the cornea and lens.
Vitreous humour: clear, jelly-like substance that fills the middle of the eye i.e. the region between
the lens and retina.
The inner surface of the eye is known as the retina. The retina contains the rods and cones that serve the
task of detecting the intensity and the frequency of the incoming light. An adult eye is typically equipped
with up to 120 million rods that detect the intensity of light and about 6 million cones that detect the
frequency of light. These rods and cones send nerve impulses to the brain. The nerve impulses travel
through a network of nerve cells. There are as many as one million neural pathways from the rods and
cones to the brain. This network of nerve cells is bundled together to form the optic nerve on the very
back of the eyeball.
By changing the focal length, (accommodation) the lens is able to focus light onto the retina for objects
located at various distances. The relaxed eye can easily focus on distant objects. To focus on close objects
the lens is squeezed to shorten it’s focal length, making it possible to converge the rays onto the retina.
The near point is the distance at which the closest object can be seen clearly. It recedes with age.
Persistence of vision: Our eye needs one sixteenth of a second to register an image. If the images are
shown at a faster rate, eyes fail to distinguish the images.
6.5.2 Diseases of the eyes
A. Myopia/Short-sightedness
Near-sightedness, also known as short-sightedness and myopia, is a condition of the eye where light
focuses in front of, instead of on, the retina. This causes distant objects to be blurry while close objects
appear normal. The underlying mechanism involves the length of the eyeball growing too long or less
commonly the lens being too thick. It is a type of refractive error.
It can be corrected by using spectacles with concave lens as they diverge the light rays and images form
on retina.

11. Myopia
B. Hypermetropia/Long-sightedness
Far-sightedness, also known as hyperopia, is a condition of the eye in which light is focused behind,
instead of on, the retina. This results in close objects appearing blurry, while far objects may appear
normal. As the condition worsens, objects at all distances may be blurry. The cause is an imperfection of
the eyes. Often it occurs when the eyeball is too short, or the lens or cornea is misshapen.
It can be corrected by using spectacles with convex lens as they converge the light rays and images form
on retina.
Hypermetropia
C. Cataract: A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye which leads to a decrease in vision. Cataracts
often develop slowly and can affect one or both eyes. They are most commonly due to aging but may also
occur due to trauma or radiation exposure.
D. Blindness: Loss of vision; may be due to injury or disease or by birth.
E. Colour blindness: It is the decreased ability to see color or differences in color. It is usually hereditary
and individuals have lesser cones to sense the colours.
F. Night blindness: It is caused by near-sightedness, cataract or deficiency of Vitamin A in the diet.
6.5.3 Care of the eyes
Eyes are very important organ and they are sensitive too. So, proper care of eyes is very important. Some
tips for care of eyes are as follows:
Do not read in too bright or too dim light.
Do not look directly at a bright object or at the sun.
Do not keep the book too close to your eyes; while reading. Don't keep the book too far either.
If something gets into the eye, do not rub the eye. Wash it with cold water.
In case of any problem; like itching or burning sensation; consult an ophthalmologist.

12. 6.5.4 Educating visually challenged persons
Visually challenged persons need special training to learn, read and write. Since they depend a lot on the
sense of feeling and hearing, they often develop a keen sense of touch and hearing.
Braille is a tactile writing system used by people who are visually impaired. It is traditionally written
with embossed paper. Braille is named after its creator, Louis Braille, a Frenchman who lost his sight as a
result of a childhood accident. In 1824, at the age of fifteen, he developed a code for the French alphabet
as an improvement on night writing. These characters have rectangular blocks called cells that have tiny
bumps called raised dots. The number and arrangement of these dots distinguish one character from
another. Since the various braille alphabets originated as transcription codes for printed writing, the
mappings (sets of character designations) vary from language to language.

13. Solved Examples
Example 1
An opaque paper when oiled becomes translucent. Why?
Solution
Amount of light getting absorbed, reflected and transmitted in case of opaque and translucent object.
Difference in transmission of light from pores of oiled paper to that of ordinary paper.
Example 2
Suppose you are in a dark room. Can you see objects in the room? Can you see objects outside the
room? Explain.
Solution
We can see any object, when light reflected by that object reaches to our eyes. But in the dark room, no
light is reflected by the object. Hence, we are not able to see the objects in dark room. But if there is
light outside the room, we can see the objects lying out there.
Example 3
Light enters from air to glass plate having refractive index 1.5. What is the speed of light in glass?
The speed of light in vacuum is 3 108
m/s.
Solution
Refractive index μ =

.
= 2 × 10 m/s
Example 4
Find the position of the image of an object placed at a distance of 10 cm from a convex mirror of
focal length 10 cm.
Solution
Given, object distance u = -10 cm (by using sign convention)
Focal length of the mirror, f = 10 cm
From mirror formula, = + we have = + ⇒ = + = = ⇒ = 5 cm
Example 5
Differentiate between regular and diffused reflection. Does diffused reflection mean the failure of the
laws of reflection?
Solution
Regular reflection Diffused reflection
Takes place from a smooth surface Takes place from a rough surface
Reflected rays move in a particular direction Reflected rays scatter in random directions.
Example – Reflection by plane mirror Example – Reflection by road
Diffused reflection is not because of the failure of the laws of reflection but due to the irregularities in
the reflecting surface.

14. Solution
A point source always emits a diverging beam of light. When this beam of light comes out of water, it
diverges. This is because the refracted rays move away from the normal.
Example 7
Why does a concave lens always form a virtual image of an object? Draw a diagram to illustrate this.
Solution
The rays falling on a concave lens, after refraction always diverge. Therefore no matter where the object
is kept, a diverging lens always forms a virtual image, which is erect and smaller in size than the object.
It is formed between the optical center and the focus, on the same side of the lens as the object.
Example 8
Mention against each of the following whether regular or diffused reflection will take place when a
beam of light strikes. Justify your answer in each case.
(a) Polished wooden table, (b) Chalk powder, (c) Cardboard surface, (d) Marble floor with water
spread over it, (e) Mirror and (f) Piece of paper
Solution
(a) A polished wooden table is an example of smooth surface. So, when a beam of light reflects from it,
a regular reflection will take place.
(b) Chalk powder has irregular surface. So, when a beam of light reflects from it, a diffused reflection
will take place.
(c) A cardboard has irregular surface. So, when a beam of light reflects from it, a diffused reflection will
take place.
(d) A marble floor with water spread over it provides a smooth surface. So, when a beam of light reflects
from it, a regular reflection will take place.
(e) A mirror has a smooth surface. So, when a beam of light reflects from it, a regular reflection will take
place.
(f) A piece of paper may appear smooth but it has many minor irregularities. So, when a beam of light
reflects from it, a diffused reflection will take place.

15. Example 10
Why can the sun be seen two minutes before actual sunrise and two minutes after actual sunset?
Solution
When light rays passes through the atmosphere having layers of different densities and refractive
indices, then atmospheric refraction takes place. The actual sunrise takes place when the sun is above
horizon. When the sun is just below the horizon, the light rays coming from it on entering the Earth's
atmosphere suffer atmospheric refraction from a rarer to denser medium and thus, they bend towards the
normal at each refraction. Due to continuous refraction of light rays at each layer, it follows a curved
path and reaches the eye of the observer. As a result, we can see the sun 2 minutes before it rises above
the horizon in the morning. It is also due to refraction that we can still see the sun for about 2 minutes
even after the sun has set below the horizon. As a result, the time from sunrise to sunset is increased by
about 4 minutes.
Example 11
Describe an activity to show that the incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal at the point of
incidence lie in the same plane.
Solution
Fix a white sheet of stiff paper on a drawing board or a table. Take a comb and close all its openings
except one in the middle. Hold the comb perpendicular to the sheet of paper. Throw light from a torch
through the opening of the comb from one side. With slight adjustment of the torch and the comb we
will see a ray of light along the paper on the other side of the comb. Keep the comb and the torch steady.
Place a strip of plane mirror in the path of the light ray. Let the sheet project a little beyond the edge of
the Table. Cut the projecting portion of the sheet in the middle. Look at the reflected ray. Make sure that
the reflected ray extends to the projected portion of the paper. Bend that part of the projected portion on
which the reflected ray falls. Bring the paper back to the original position.
When the whole sheet of paper is spread on the table, it represents one plane. The incident ray, the
normal at the point of incidence and the reflected ray are all in this plane. When we bend the paper you
create a plane different from the plane in which the incident ray and the normal lie. Then we do not see
the reflected ray. It indicates that the incident ray, the normal at the point of incidence and the reflected
ray all lie in the same plane.

16. Example 12
Describe the construction of a kaleidoscope.
Solution
A kaleidoscope is made up of three rectangular mirror strips joined together to form a prism. These are
fixed in a circular cardboard like tube or tube of a thick chart paper. The tube is slightly longer than the
mirror strips. One end of the tube remains closed by a cardboard disc having a hole in the centre,
through which one can see. To make the disc durable, a piece of transparent plastic sheet is pasted under
the cardboard disc. At the other end, touching the mirrors, a circular plane glass plate is fixed. On this
glass plate several small pieces of coloured glass is placed to form multiple images.

Explain how you can take care of your eyes.
Solution
It is necessary that we take proper care of our eyes. If there is any problem we should go to an eye
specialist. Have a regular check-up.
If advised, we should use suitable spectacles.
Too little or too much light is bad for eyes. Insufficient light causes eyestrain and headaches. Too
much light, like that of the sun, a powerful lamp or a laser torch can injure the retina.
We should not look at the sun or a powerful light directly.
Never rub our eyes. If particles of dust go into our eyes, wash our eyes with clean water. If there is no
improvement go to a doctor.
Wash our eyes frequently with clean water.
Always read at the normal distance for vision. Do not read by bringing your book too close to our
eyes or keeping it too far.

Give two uses of plane mirror.
Solution
Plane mirrors are used to reflect light on an object. For example, during outdoor shooting of a film,
metal sheets are used as plane mirrors to reflect sunlight on the actors.
They are also used in solar cookers to reflect light on the food being cooked. They are used in
periscopes also.

Example 22
What is refraction? Show the refraction of light through glass.
Solution
Although light usually travels in straight lines through optical materials, something different happens at
surfaces. Light is bent as it passes through a surface where the refractive index change, for example as it
passes from air into glass. The amount of bending depends on the refractive indexes of the two media
and the angle at which the light strikes the surface between them.

MIRROR EQUATION
The ray tracing technique shows qualitatively where the image will be located. The distance from the mirror to
the image, v, can be found from the mirror equation:
1
=
1
+
1
where u = distance from object to mirror; v = distance from image to mirror and f = focal length.
Sign conventions:
u is positive if the object is in front of the mirror (real object).
u is negative if the object is in back of the mirror (virtual object).
v is positive if the image is in front of the mirror (real image).
v is negative if the image is behind the mirror (virtual image)
f is positive for concave mirrors
f is negative for convex mirrors
SNELL’S LAW
In general, when light enters a new material its direction will change. The angle of refraction θ2 is
related to the angle of incidence θ1 by Snell’s law:
=
where v is the velocity of light in the medium. The angles θ1 and θ2 are measured relative to the line normal to
the surface between the two materials.
