What is optics (Reflection of light) ? And other related terms in physics.

Optics -:

What is optics? And It has mainly 3 contents that is -

-》 Contents -:

1. Reflection of light

2. Refraction and deviation produced by prism

3. . Wave optics (link)

Who want to study about 3rd content like 'Wave optics' after know about 1st content (reflection of light). Click here 👇👇



So we are derived the 1st content of Optics -:

1. Reflection of light - 


  -:  LIGHT

It is an agent which produces in us the sensation of sight. It is a form of energy.
No doubt this definition of light holds good only for a small portion of light, we shall be mainly concerned with light having this property. Various theories regarding the nature of light shall be discussedat appropriate places in this article.

Some terms connected with light.  Some of the following terms shall be more oftenly used during study of Optics.
1. Source.  A body which emits light in all directions is said to be the source of light. The source may be a point one or an extended one. A source is two kinds :
(a) Self luminous.  Self luminous source is the source which possess light of its own. 
(b) Non-luminous.  It is a source of lightwhich does not possess light of its own but receives light froman external sourceand scatters it to the surroundings. 
2. Medium.  Substance through which light propagates or tends to propagate is called medium. It is following three kinds :
(a) Transparent.  It is a medium through which can be propagated easily .
(b) Translucent.  It is a medium through which light is propagated partially.
(c) Opaque.   It is a medium through which light can not be propagated.
3. Ray.  The straight line path along which the light travels in a homogeneous medium is called a ray.

REFLECTION -:

It is the property of light by virtue of which, light is sent back into the same medium from which it is coming after being obstructed by a surface.
Consider a ray SO, incident on a shining surface XY. The ray gets reflected along OI (Fig. 13.1) . We define following terms in connection with the phenomenon of reflection.

LAWS OF REFLECTION -:

Phenomenon of reflection is governed by two laws called laws of reflection, given below :
(i) The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence, all lie in one plane and that plane is perpendicular to the reflecting surface. 
(i) The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, i.e.,
/_i = /_r .

What is Wave Optics ? Wave Optics notes, definition, introduction etc.

Wave Optics -: Learning objectives   -: Electromagnetic waves, Plane waves.    -: Velocity of electromagnetic waves.    -: Properties of electromagnetic waves.    -: Hertz experiment.    -: Electromagnetic spectrum.    -: Huygen's wave theory, Huygen's principle, explanation of reflection and refraction.     -: Interference, Young's double slit experiment, Lloyd's single mirror, Fresnel's bi-prism experiment.  1. ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES James Clerk Maxwell, one of the pioneers in the field of electromagnetic waves, gave his theory of electromagnetic waves in 1865. An electromagnetic wave is composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields which oscillate in manually perpendicular planes. These two planes, besides being perpendicular to each other, are also perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Using his equations, called Maxwell's equations , he derived the formula for speed of electromagne...

What is the functions of Harbariums And type of Herbariums ?

Herbarium Herbaria Play an important role in taxonomy. They give important information regarding plant species for classification of plants. These are source of taxonomic research. IMPORTANT HERBARIA AND BOTANICAL GARDENS OF THE WORLD Important Herbaria :                 The art of Herbarium was started by an Indian taxonomist Luca Ghini(1490-1556). The concept of preserving plant specimen in dired from is 450 years old. The oldest preserved herbarium specimen is kept in Rome, collected by the naturalist Gherardo Cibo. From long past different countries all over world started collecting harbaria. 1. Maseum National d' Historica naturelle, Paris - 10,500,000 2. Royal Botanic Garden, Kew - >5,000,000 3.

What is Chemical energetics ? Chemical energetics notes, pdf, ppt etc.

Chemical Energetics : Chemical energetics is a very useful thing for every student by itself. And sometimes it uses in our everyday life. So I have provided all notes about chemical energetics for everyone. REVIEW OF THERMODYNAMICS : 1. Thermodynamics . is defined as the branch of science which deals with changes in energy (usually heat) that accompany physical or chemical changes in matter. 2. Objectives of Thermodynamics .  (i) To predict the feasibility of a process (ii) To predict the extent of reaction (iii) To deduce certain laws of physical chemistry. 3. Limitations of Thermodynamics . (i) Law of thermodynamics apply only to matter in bulk and not to individual atoms or molecules  (ii) It predicts only the feasibility of process but not its success (iii) It doesn't predict the rate of reaction (iv) It doesn't tell anything about the mechanism of reaction. 4. System . is a part of universe selected for thermodynamic study. 5. Surroundings . is the part of the universe no...
