Power of a Lens - Whenever a ray of light passes through a lens (except when it passes through the optical centre) it bends. The bending of light rays towards the principal axis is called convergence and bending of light rays away from the principal axis is called divergence. The degree o..

The ability of the instrument to resolve the images of two point objects lying close to each other. Due to the wave nature of light each point object produces its own diffraction pattern, which overlap, and the image can no longer be identified. Resolving power of a microscope is the reci..

Whenever a ray of light passes through a lens (except when it passes through the optical center) it bends. The bending of light rays towards the principal axis is called convergence and bending of light rays away from the principal axis is called divergence. The degree of convergence or divergence..

Tidal Power - The tides are formed due to the gravitational force of attraction between the earth, sun and moon. During high tides sea water is trapped in a reservoir, and released later to drive turbines, which in turn produces electricity. The block diagram given below illustrates the t..

Power of Accommodation - A normal eye can see both the distant and the nearby objects clearly. In the case of the eye, the image distance (v) is fixed as the distance between the eye lens and retina remains the same but the object distance (u) varies. The eye focuses the images of all the..

The power is the rate of doing work or in other words, it is the work done in one second. If a current of 'I' amperes flow through a conductor of resistance 'R' ohm for a time 't' seconds when the potential difference across its ends is 'V' volt, then the electric power consumed..

A normal eye can see both the distant and the nearby objects clearly. In the case of the eye, the image distance (v) is fixed as the distance between the eye lens and retina remains the same but the object distance (u) varies. The eye focuses the images of all the objects, distant or nearby, at the..

Whenever a ray of light passes through a lens (except when it passes through the optical center) it bends. The bending of light rays towards the principal axis is called convergence and bending of light rays away from the principal axis is called divergenc..

Ability of the lens to converge a beam of light falling on the len..

The process by which the ciliary muscles change the focal length of an eye lens to focus distant or near objects clearly on the retina is called the accommodation of the ey..
