Light
- form of energy
- lateral inversion
- rectilinear propagation
- light travels
in a straight
line
- sides are interchanged, the image
does not appear upside down.
- types of mirrors
- plane mirror
- convex mirrors
- concave mirrors
- It can either be real or virtual.
- It can either be inverted or erect.
- It can have the same
size as that of the
object, a larger size
that of the object or
smaller size than that
of the object.
- Satellite dishes , Dentists use a
concave mirror, Shaving Mirrors
- It is always virtual.
- It is always upright .
- It is smaller in size as that of the object
- The rear view
mirrors are convex
mirrors as they
provide a wider view
of the road behind.
- types of lenses
- concave lenses
- convex lenses
- A Convex Lens is curved outwards. It is
thicker in the centre and narrows down at the
edges. It merges the light rays passing
through it at a certain point. Therefore, it is
also called a Converging Lens.
- real, inverted ,the image is
large when close to the lens
- A Concave Lens is curved
inwards. It has wider edges
and a thinner centre. It
reflects back the light that
travels through it in
different directions.
Therefore, it is also called a
Diverging Lens.
- virtual ,erect ,small
- A lens is a part of a
reflecting material like glass
or plastic but curved from
both sides
- reflection of light
- refraction of light
- dispersion of
light
- splitting white light
into a spectrum of
colors after passing through different mediums
- bending of light
after touching two
mediums
- Light falls on the
surface of an object
and the object
sends the light back.
