light-reflection and refraction

Conclusion - Thus, this chapter on refraction helps us understand many natural phenomena like the twinkling of stars, the sparkling of diamonds, mirage etc. It also throws light on the working of the human eye and the defects of visi..

Refraction of Light through a Glass Slab - Let us now perform an experiment and find out how light gets refracted when it is incident on a rectangular glass slab. Place a rectangular glass slab on a white sheet of paper fixed on a drawing board. Trace the bou..

Reflection is the phenomenon where the incident light falling on a surface is sent back to the same mediu..

Summary - Light is a form of energy which can be reflected either by a plane mirror or spherical mirror. Depending upon the type of mirror used for reflection of light the use of reflecting surface also varie..

The figure shows how a ray of light is reflected by a plane surface. Let MM' represent a reflecting surface. When a ray of light is incident on MM' in the direction IO it gets reflected along the direction OR. IO is the incident ray; O is the point ..

Question 1 - Question: Define reflection of light. Answer: The phenomenon by which a ray of light changes the direction of propagation when it strikes a boundary between different media through which it cannot pass is described as the reflection of light..
