RAY OPTICS
1. RECTILINEAR PROPAGATION OF LIGHT As shown in the figure, the angle between reflected ray and
incident ray is180 – 2i where i is the angle of incidence. Maximum
It is a well established fact that light is a wave. Although, a light deviation is 180°, when angle of incident i is zero.
wave spreads as it moves away from its source, we can approximate
its path as a straight line. Under this approximation, we show light 2.3 Law of Reflection in Vector Form

geometrical optics. Say unit vector along incident ray = û .

medium is called a ray. Then r̂ û 2 û . n̂ n̂
2. REFLECTION OF LIGHT
The phenomenon in which a light ray is sent back into the same
medium from which it is coming, on interaction with a boundary,
is called reflection. The boundary can be a rigid surface or just an
interface between two media.
2.1 Law of Reflection Laws of reflection remain the same whether the reflected surface is
plane or curved.
We have few angles to define before considering law of reflection
(i) Angle of incidence : The angle which the incident ray
makes with normal at the point of incidence.
(ii) Angle of reflection : The angle which the reflected ray
makes with normal at the point of incidence.
A reflected ray lies in the plane of incidence and has an angle of
reflection equal to the angle of incidence. i = r.
2.2 Deviation
2.4 Reflection by a plane surface
When a ray of light suffers reflection, its path is changed. The
angle between its direction after reflection and the direction before Suppose a reflecting surface is rotated by an angle T (say
reflection is called the deviation. anticlockwise), keeping the incident ray fixed then the reflect ray
rotates by 2T along the same sense, i.e., anticlockwise.

6. THIN LENS
A thin lens is defined as a portion of transparent refracting medium
bounded by two surfaces. One of the two surfaces must be curved.
Following figures show a number of lenses formed by different
refracting surfaces.
A lens is one of the most familiar optical devices for a human
being. A lens is an optical system with two refracting surfaces.
The simplest lens has two spherical surfaces close enough together (b) Second principal focus F2 : It is a point on principal axis,

(ii) Radius of curvature (R1 and R2) : The radii of the curved
surfaces forming the lens are called radii of curvature.
(iii) Principal axis : The line joining the two centres of
curvature is called principal axis.
(iv) Optical centre : A point on the principal axis of the lens
from which a ray of light passes undeviated.
(v) Principal foci : There are two principal foci of a lens.
