Light
By Neil Bronks
Light is a form of energy
Crooke’s Radiometer
proves light has energy
Turns in
sunlight as
the light
heats the
black side
Light travels in straight lines
Reflection-Light bouncing off object

Laws of Reflection
 The angle of incidence ,i, is
always equal to the angle
of reflection, r.
 The incident ray, reflected
ray and the normal all lie
on the same plane.
Virtual Image
An image that is formed by the eye
Can not appear on a screen

Rays really meet

Questions
An object 2cm high is placed 40cm in
front of a concave mirror of focal
length 10cm find the image position and
height.
An image in a concave mirror focal
length 25cm is 10cm high if the object
is 2cm high find the distance the object
is from the mirror.
MEASUREMENT OF THE FOCAL
LENGTH OF A CONCAVE MIRROR
Concave
mirror
Crosswire
u
Lamp-box
Screen
Approximate focal length by focusing image of window
onto sheet of paper.
Place the lamp-box well outside the approximate focal
length
Move the screen until a clear inverted image of the
crosswire is obtained.
Measure the distance u from the crosswire to the mirror,
using the metre stick.
Measure the distance v from the screen to the mirror.
Repeat this procedure for different values of u.
Calculate f each time and then find an average value.
Precautions The largest errors are in measuring with the
meter rule and finding the exact position of the
sharpest image.
Refraction
The fisherman sees
the fish and tries to
spear it
Fisherman use a trident
as light is bent at the
surface
Refraction into glass or water
AIR
WATER
Light bends towards the
normal due to entering a more
dense medium
Refraction out of glass or water
Light bends away from the
normal due to entering a less
dense medium
Refraction through a glass block
Light bends towards the
normal due to entering a more
dense medium
Light slows down but is
not bent, due to entering
along the normal
Light bends away from the
normal due to entering a less
dense medium
Laws of REFRACTION
The incident ray, refracted ray and
normal all lie on the same plane
SNELLS LAW the ratio of the sine of
the angle of incidence to the sine of
the angle of refraction is constant
for 2 given media.
sin i = n (Refractive Index)

No Parallax
Set up the apparatus as shown.
Adjust the height of the pin in the cork above the mirror
until there is no parallax between its image in the mirror
and the image of the pin in the water.
Measure the distance from the pin in the cork to the
back of the mirror – this is the apparent depth.
Measure the depth of the container – this is the real
depth.
Calculate the refractive index n= Real/Apparent
Repeat using different size containers and get an average
value for n.

Uses of Total Internal Reflection
Optical fibres:
An optical fibre is a long, thin, transparent rod made of glass
or plastic. Light is internally reflected from one end to the
other, making it possible to send large chunks of
information
Optical fibres can be used for communications by sending e-m
signals through the cable. The main advantage of this is a
reduced signal loss. Also no magnetic interference.
Practical Fibre Optics
It is important to coat the strand in a material of low n.
This increases Total Internal Reflection
The light can not leak into the next strand.
1) Endoscopes (a medical device used to see inside the body):
2) Binoculars and periscopes (using “reflecting prisms”)
Now is a good time to get out the
light demo kit

The width of the lens
is controlled by the
ciliary muscles.
For distant objects
the lens is
stretched.
For close up
objects the

Myopia (Short Sighted)
Image is formed in front of the retina.
Correct with diverging lens.
Hyperopia (Long-Sighted)
Image is formed behind the retina.
Correct with a converging lens
Power of Lens
Opticians use power to describe lenses.

P=
f
So a focal length of 10cm= 0.1m is written as
P=10m-1
A diverging lens with a negative focal length
f=-40cm=-0.4m
Has a power of P = -2.5m-1
Lens in Contact
Most camera lens are made up of two lens
joined to prevent dispersion of the light.
The power of the total lens is
Ptotal=P1+ P2
