Based on the questions earlier,
what do you think will be our
topic?
MIRRORS AND
LENSES
•We see things around us
because of light.
•Objects become visible because
they reflect most of the light
they receive from different light
sources
•There are two possible
interactions between
light and an object.
•When light hits the
surface of an object and
bounces, the interaction
called reflection
•When light enters the
boundary of two
transparent objects and
bends, the interaction is
called refraction
At the end of the lesson, you should be able
to:
•apply the laws of reflection and
refraction in mirror;
•Predict the qualitative characteristics
(orientation, type, and magnification) of
images formed by mirrors and lenses;
At the end of the lesson, you should be able
to:
•Apply ray diagramming techniques in
describing the characteristics and positions
of images formed by mirrors and lenses;
•Differentiate the images formed in plane
and curved mirrors and in converging and
diverging lenses
At the end of the lesson, you should be able
to:
•Apply the spherical mirror equation in
describing images formed in curved
mirrors
•Identify the use of mirrors and lenses in
optical instruments (e.g., cameras and
binoculars)
At the end of the lesson, you should be able
to:
•Explain the optics of the human eye,
camera, and other optical instruments;
and
•Explain visual defects and how these are
corrected or treated.
Nature of light
Nature of light
•It is difficult to define light.
•It is much easier to describe
light based on the results of the
scientific attempts to probe its
nature
Wave theory of light
•The first scientific study of light
was done by Christian Huygens
•He stated that light, like sound,
has wavelike properties. Thus,
light exhibits properties such as
reflection, refraction, diffraction,
interference, scattering etc.
Particle theory of light
•The wave theory of light was
opposed by Sir Isaac Newton.
•He formulated the corpuscular
theory or the particle theory of
light
•The corpuscular theory or the
particle theory of light states
that light is made up of very fast
and tiny particles that travel in
straight lines.
•Some properties of light such as
reflection and refraction can be
explained by this theory
James Maxwell
•Light is a form of
electromagnetic radiation
Max Planck
Max Planck
•According to him, the exact
shape of the graph could be
predicted if radiant energy is
assumed not to be continuous
but accruing in packets or pieces
Max Planck
•He called the packets of energy as
quanta
•He formulated an equation that gives
the energy of a quantum radiated, as
E=hf
Max Planck
•Light is transmitted as discrete
quanta or photons of light,
rather than waves
Albert Einstein
•Applied the photon model of light to
explain photoelectric effect
• phenomenon in which electrons are
ejected from the surface of a metal
when light is incident on it. These
ejected electrons are called
photoelectrons.
•This two theories gave rise to the
dual nature of light as proposed by
Luois de Broglie.
•According to him, there is a
relationship between frequency and
energy of photons with the wave
nature of radiation
•The most interesting aspect of this
relationship is the deep inseparable
link between momentum (a
particle property of light) and
wavelength (a wave property of
light)
•Thus, light behaves
sometimes as a wave
and at other times as
“photons” or particles
