All objects around us do not provide us with light. There are only a few objects that aro capable of emitting light. We call such (special) objects sources of light. We have a wide range of such sources of light. Some of these are natural and provide light energy to all mankind, The most prominent of these. of course, is the sun. The night sky has millions of stars which are ‘again natural sources of light. They appear feeble only because they are far, too far away from us. ‘The insect called the jugnu (firefly) also emits light of its own. Therefore, its also a natural source of light. ‘Mankind has now been able to develop number of manmade or anificial sources of light. We need these ariificial sources at night when thera is no sunlight around. ‘The electic lamp, a burning candle and the Kerosene lamp are the common artical sources Sag Now ‘ne eo hove ets teonnae ay fluorescent lamps) which give out the same light as.an electric lamp But consume oriy {isn of So of the energy consumed by the electric lamp. Pie Ui | RECTILINEAR PROPAGATION OF LIGHT ‘The phenomenon that light travels in a straight line is called the rectilinear propagation of light. We find that, in most af the ordinary situations. light travels in straight lines, in a homogeneous medium, Light travets ina REFLECTION OF LIGHT We all know that a rubber ball bounces back when it is thrown on the floor. Similarly, when light falls on, ‘smooth polished surface, it bounces back. We call this ‘bouncing back of light’ as reflection of light. How can we make light ‘bounce back’ or ‘get reflected’? Suppose, we take a : shining new steel plate and let the light from a lamp, fall on it, Wo will observe a ‘glare of light’ going away from the plate, By titing the plate at various angles, we can make this light bounced back’ (or reflected) by the plate fall on the wall at different positions. The shining steel plate is thus seen to be capable of ‘reflecting light. Not only a shining steel piate, but any weil polished and smooth object is Retection of taht capable of reffecting light.

Prane misror IMAGE nen we stand in front ofa plane miror, we see a duplicate oF replica of ourselves standing in the miro We call ths duplicate oF ropliea of ourselves (seen in the mimror) as our image It's Pot chly the mirror that shows us our image. We can also see our image in any shining metal sheet 33 weil as inthe stil water of any waterbody Ike a Satmming pool oa lake Winat about our image as seen in a surface that ws not plan? Some of us must have visited fun fairs kere many types of mirors that are curved are exhibited lo entertain the vistors. When we see ourselves in these mirrors, we may find that our image is very much fatter or very much taller or very (much shorter than what we actually are. This shows that curved mirrors can make the image of an object ook very mucn aterent from the object tse, _—__C TWO TYPES OF CURVED MIRRORS Curved mirrors can be made ina wide vanety of shapes ang sizes Howaver, there are two very special types of curved mirrors that we use very often We call them concave mirrors and conver mirrors They are both sphencal mirrors For maiing a sphencal mirror, we take a portion of the surface of a sphere. If we polish or silver its cuter Side 20 that reflection tates place {rom its inner surface, we get a concave mirror. On the other hand. # the potishing 1S done on the inner side so that reflection takes place from the outer surface, we gol a Concave mirror Cen Sphorical mirrors convex mirror Real and Virtual Images Let us do tne following actwvity to understand the dtference between a real and a virtual image. Activity Take a concave miror and fix it on a suitable stand. (We may use a lump of moulding clay it suitable stand is not available ) Put the mirror (in its stand or in the lump of moulding clay) on the table. Now take a candle and put tn a candle stand. Light up the eanate and take care to see that the tipping wax does ot create a mess Also, be carey! with the flame of the candle so that it does no! cause any bum of harm Put the lighted cancie in front of the mirror. Take a thick white paper sheet and hold it behind tne lighted Candie but well away {fom it. Slowly and carefully adjust the position of the candle and the paper sheet. You will soon be able to get an inverted image of the candle flame formed on the white paper sheet —H me Scanned with CamScanner ~ headlamps and torches, and + in huge type telescopes as a reflector. Image Formed by a Convex Mirror Point a convex mirror of focal length about 20-25 cm towards a well-it distant building or tree. We will see an erect bul diminish image of the building (or tree) in the mirror bul we wil not be able to get this image ‘ona screen, Therelore, it's a virtual image. Go on to explore the details of tho image formed by a convex mirror when the object (say a lighted candle) 1s kept at various distances {fom il. We will find that the image formed is always a virtual, erect jnage formed by a convex mirror and diminished image, Therefore, we may say ‘A convex minor always produces a virtual, erect and diminished image of an object, no matter where the object is.

A vist 10 a well-maintained garden freshens and relaxes us We see fowers of so many different colours over there The grass below our feet 15 of a beautitul green colour and so are the leaves of the many trees thal stand in diferent parts of the garden. The clear sky above our heads 1s of a nice light blue colour. Our dresses, the walls of our rooms and the atterent objects we use in our dally Ife come in a wide vanety of colours of different shades and hues. Colour indeed adds a lot of charm and fun to our ite Quite often, we see a beautiful band of seven colours in the sky We cal it a rainbow. A rainbow gets formed when the sun starts shining again after a rainfall, The saven colours present in the, rainbow are violet, indigo. green, blue, yellow, orange and red. We cften use the acronym VIBGYOR for the purpose of remembenng the names of the colours in a rainbow. NEWTON'S EXPERIMENTS. The light of the sun, as wo know, looks white to us.

This, and other detailed experiments, enabled him to prove that white light 1S really made up of seven colours of the rainbow, namely, VIBGYOR (violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orango, red). Is white light ‘Really’ made up of seven colours? Newton's giscovery of the phenomenon of dispersion, some people came up wath the query: Are the seven colours ‘alreacy present’ in the white light or are they somehow ‘given’ by the prism fo the incident white light? To set such doubts at rest Newton performed two further experiments with prisms, using ‘setup’ of the type shown in figure, These helped him to set al rest all doubts about the phenomenon of dispersion. The expenments proved conclusively that the colours are already present in the white light and the prsm has no ability to produce new colours or to impart colours to the light incident an it.

R=2t, Pole, principle axis, centre of curvature, radius of curvature, focus, focal length, aporaturo Short Answer Type Questions A concave mirror. This is because a concave mirror can form, virtual, erect and magnified image of tne object. By Geometry MN = AE/2 = 0.05 m; NR = EBI2 = 1.7/2= 0.85 m Length of the mirror = MN + NR'= 0.05 + 0.85 = 0.90 m = 90 cm. Let 0 be the angle between the two mirrors OMy and (OM, The incident ray AB is parallel to mirror OM and sirikes the mirror OM; at an angle of incidence equal to It reflected along BC; the angle of reflecton being From figure, we have AMyBA = ZOBC = ZM,OM; Similarly, for reflection al mirror OM», we have 2M,CD = ZBCO = 2M,0M, = 0 Now, in triangle OBC, 30 = 180°, herefore, Scanned with CamScanner oe _____ 5 2a R= 16m, 6. Lens are basically an arrangement of two spherical surfaces joined together. When a light ray passes through a lens, it undergoes refraction, The image formation is slightly diferent from those in case of spherical mirrors, Lenses can be used to spot light to a desired point by adjusting its focal length. This proparty is used while making spectacles, We also have a lens in our eye which fouces the incoming light rays of a screen couled ‘Retina’ where image Is formed. (More points to be added by students). 7. Amagnifying glass is essentially @ convex lens. it convregs the light rays falling on it to a point For e.g, sunlight can be focused to a small point like the tip of an incase thereby igrifing the incense stick If focused for sufficient time. It also forms a magnified image of letters wntten on paper or any portion of an object. 8 Refraction is the bending of light while passing from one mecium to another, It happens because of the difference in the speed of light in the two madia and as light tends to cover any distance by following the path of least length, 9. _ Rainbows are formed when sunlight falls on water droplets and undergoes, refraction, total internal reflection and dispersion, (More points to be added by students). Long Answer Type Questions 1. Suppose the abject was at a distance d from the mirrar as show in the figure. ‘The image is formed at A’. When the mirror is shifted from P to Py, the image is formed at A”. We have AP=PA'=d Also, AP. dex Thus, AA" = AP,+P,A" = 2(d4x), and 1 Thus, A’A" = AA" AA'= 2(d+x) ~ 2d = 2x 2. Let the man is represented by HF where H is the head and F represents the feet. Suppose the eyes of the man are represented by E.

Scanned with CamScanner eee Dara ld 3 4 {())_ The innor curved surface of a large shining spoon acts as a concave mirror. Our face 15 the ‘object. When the spoon is al a small distance from the misror, Iho object lies between pole P and focus F of concave mirror. We observe eniarged, erect image of our face bahind the spoon. (i) Wéhen we move the spoon slowly away from our face, wa observe thal when face Is at focus of mirror/spoon, an enlarged, inverted Image of our face Is seen at infinity, face Is between F and C of mirror/spoon, an enlarged inverted image of our face is seen, face Is at the centre of curvature of the mirror/spoon, an inverted image of same sizo is seen, itis botweon F and C, an inverted and diminished image of our face Is seen the face is very far off. highly diminished, inveried image of our face is sean al the focus of spoon/mirror, (ii) When we reverse the spoon, its curved portion is bulged out, It behaves as a convex mirror The image of aur face Is virtual, erect and diminished. ‘The source of light, the sun in this case is at infinita distance from the concave mirror. Therefore, on reflection from the concave mirror, the sunlight collects at the focus of the mirror By moving the sheet of paper back and forth gradually, we find a bright, sharp spot of light on the paper. This spot is the real, point size image of the sun al the focus of the coneave mirror as shown in figure. When we hold the mirror and the paper in the same position for a fow minutes, the paper may bum out, This fs because the sun rays are concentrated on the bright, sharp spot of light on the paper. Hence, we conclude that when a parallel beam of light from a fer off object falls on a concave mirror, a real, inverted point size image is formed at the focus of tho concave mirror. (i) When we hold a pencil in the upright position in front of a convex mirror, we observed the image of the pencil in the mirror, at the back of the mirror, The image is erect, virtual and smaller in size than the object. {ii) As the pencil is moved away from the mirror, tha image becomes smaller and smaller (il) On repeating the activity, we find that as the objects moved away from the mirror, the image would move doser lo focus of the mirror. This activity confirms all the characteristics of image formed by convex mirror for different position of the object. A ray going through centre of curvature is reflected back along the same direr ‘A ray parallel to principal axis is reflected through the focus, and vice-versa, Also, mutually parallel rays after reflection intorsect on the focal plane. 3, A ray going to the pole and the reflected ray from it make equal angles with the principal axis. no Scanned with CamScanner 12. 14, 16. 7. 23.
