Light is a form of energy. It exhibits a wide variety of
properties. If the size of the object is much larger than the wavelength of the
light, light appears like travelling in straight lines. It exhibits certain
properties under these conditions and that properties are studied and rename
called Ray optics.
In Ray optics we study about reflection, refraction,
dispersion and the deviation.
Reflection is the phenomena of light bouncing
back into the same medium after striking a boundary that is separating the two
media.
Refraction is the phenomenon of light due to which light travels into
the other medium after striking a boundary that is separating the two media.
Dispersion is the phenomenon of splitting up of a white light into multiple
colors when it is passed through a prism.
Deviation is the phenomena of
changing its path when the light is passing through a different media.
In this chapter we are also going to study regarding mirrors,
lenses, prisms, critical angle, total internal reflection, microscopes and
telescopes.
This post is a list of all the topics in Ray optics which
includes problems and solutions.
