Question: 1
Define simple microscope and also derive the formula of magnifying power?
Answer: 1
1-58

Simple Microscope:

A magnifying glass is a convex lens which is used to produce magnified images of small objects.Hence it is also called simple microscope.

Objects position:

The objects is place nearer to the lens then the principal focus such that an upright, virtual and magnified images is seen clearly 25cm from the normal eye.

Magnifying power:

It is the ratio of angular size of final image producd by magnifying glass to the angular size of object seen without magnifying glass.

Formula:

M= Q/Q

Where Q is angular size of final image produced by magnifying glass and Q is angular size of object seen without magnifying glass.

Explanation:

Let Q is the angle substended at the eye by the object when it is placed at the near distance from eye.Let Q is the angle substanded by the final image at the eye when the object is placed close to the eye at a distance less then F.The angular magnification M is

M= Q/Q

Nature:

It produced virtual image which is an larged and upright with respect to the object.

Answer: 4
4-58

Human eye:

Eye is a organ used for vision.

Image formula:

The parts of human eye which play an important role in the image formation are described below.

Retina:

Human eye acts like a camera, in place of the film, the ratina records the picture.The eye has refracting system containing a converging lens.The lens forms an image on the ratina.Ratina is the light sensitive layer at the back of the eye.

Lens:

In the camera the distance of lens from film is adjusted for proper focus but in eye the lens change focal length. The lens of eye is flexible and accomdates object over a wide range of distance.

Cornea:

Light enters the eye through a transparent membrane called the cornea.

Iris:

The iris is the color portion of the eye and controls the amount of light reaching ratina.The iris also controls the size of pupil.

Pupil:

Iris has an opening at its center called pupil.

Question: 5
What is meant by total internal reflection?
Answer: 5
5-58

Total internal reflection:

When the value of angle of incidence becomes greater then the critical angle, then ray does not enter into the second medium,but reflects back in the same medium such reflection of light is called total internal reflection.

Conditions of total internal reflection:

The ray of light should travel from denser medium to rarer medium.The angle of incidence should be greater then the critical angle.

Explanation:

When a ray of light passes from danser medium, the refracted ray bends away from normal and the angle of refraction is greater then angle of incidence.If we increase the angle of incidence ,the angle of refraction,also increase till at a particular value of angle of incidence,the corresponding angle of refraction becomes 90° and refraction ray becomes paralled to the surface.The angle of incidence that causes the refracted ray in the rare medium to bend through 90° is called critical angle.

Question: 6
An object and its image in concave mirror an of the same height yet inverted,when in object 20cm from the mirror.what is the focal length of the mirror?
Answer: 6
6-58

Given data:

Object distance =p=20cm

Image distance =q=20cm

Focal length = f=?

Solution:

According to the mirror formula:

I/f = I/p +I/q

By multiplying pqf on both sides

Pqf/f = pqf/p+pqf/q

Pq=qf+pf

Pq =f (q+p)

Pq/p+q= f

20*20/20+20 =f

400/40 = f

10 =f

F = 10cm

Answer: 30
30-58
Reflection of light:
We see objects if light from it enters our eyes. Some objects such as the Sun, electric lamps and candles make their own light. We call these luminous sources. Most things that we see do not make their own light but reflect it from a luminous source they are non-luminous objects for example this page, teaching board and the Moon.
Reflection of light is same as for other types waves, such as reflection of water waves in ripple tank. Most object reflect a certain portion of the light falling on them, mirrors reflect more light and in a regular manner. An ordinary mirror is made by depositing a thin layer of silver on one side of a piece of glass and protecting it with paint. The silver at the back of the glass - acts as the reflecting surface.
Suppose that a ray of light is incident on a flat, shiny surface, The following terms are used in describing the reflection of light
1- Incident ray: The approaching ray of light
2 Reflected ray: The ray of light reflected from a reflecting surface.
3 Point f incidence: The point at which the incident ray strikes tha reflecting surface
4 Normal: The line drawn at right angles to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence.
5 Angle of incidence (0): The angle between the incident ray and the normal.
6 Angle of reflection(0) : The angle between the reflected ray and the normal

Answer: 32
32-58

To determine the magnification of the image, and its position with precision, it is necessary to draw very accurate scaled diagrams. The mirror equation on the other hand is a precise mathematical relationship between the object distance and the image distance for a given mirror. The following quantities are included in mirror formula:

F = the focal length of the mirror

Ho = the height of the object

H1 = the height of the image

Do = the distance of the object form the mirror

D1 = the distance of the image from the mirror

M = the magnification of the image

To obtain this relation, we use the ray in normal to the mirror. As a result, the ray reflects at an angle below the principal axis that is equal to its incident angleabove the axis. Therefore, the two green triangles in this diagram are similar, form which it follows that ratios of equivalent sides of similar triangles are equal.

Ho/-hi=do/di eq (1)

The image height is negative because it is inverted. Its is clear that the two yellow triangles in this diagram are also similar, since they are both right triangles and share the common angle ϕ. Thus , by using the same rule of similar triangles we get.

Ho/-hi=do-f/f eq (2)

Comparing equation no (1) and eq (2) we get do/di = do- f/f

To isolate `f’ , cross multiply do f= di (do – f) eq (3)

Divide both sides of equation 3 by do di f, we get do f/di do f = di do/di do f – di f / di do f

Or 1/di=1/f-1/do hence it is know as mirror formula. It relates the distances of the object and the image to a concave mirror , in terms of the mirror, in terms of the mirror’s focal length. The ratio of the height of the image to the height of the object is define as the magnification, M;

M =hi/ho =di/do

We derived the magnification and mirror equations for a concave mirror forming a real image, but the equations apply as well to convex mirrors and to virtual images if we use the sign conventions described below.

What is the index of refraction?</span>
Answer: 33
33-58

Light travels in straight lines in a transparent material, such as air, if it passes into a different material, such as water, it changes direction at the boundary of the two material i.e it is bent.

Refraction of light is the change of direction of light as it moves from one material (called medium) to another.

Refraction of light is same as for other types such as refraction of water waves, in ripple tank.

The following terms are used describing the refraction of light

1. Incident ray:

The ray of light approaching the boundary ( refracting surface ) between two media.

2. Refracted ray:

The ray of light moving away from he boundary between the two media.

3. Point incidence:

The point at which the incident ray strikes the refracting surface

4. Normal:

The line drawn at right angles to the refracting surface at the point of incidence .

5. Angle of incidence ():

The angle between the incident ray and the normal

6. Angle of refraction ():

The angel of refraction ’ is the angle between the refracted ray and the normal.

7. Optically denser medium :

Medium having a greater refraction effect (slower speed of light); the actual density may or may not be greater.
Question: 34
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:107%; font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">What is total internal reflection? How we calculate the critical angle for total internal reflection? What are the conditions for the total internal reflection?</span>
Answer: 34
34-58

The angle of refraction is larger than the angle of incidence when light passes into a medium of a lower index of refraction, This leads to an interesting phenomenon. As the angle of incidence increases, the angle of refraction also increases.

At a certain angle of incidence known as the critical angle, the refracted light ray lies along the boundary of the two media. When light strikes a transparent boundary, even though much of the light is transparent boundary, even though much of the light is transmitted some is reflected. Total internal reflection occurs when light traveling form a region of a higher index of refraction strikes the boundary at an angle greater than all light reflects back into the region of the higher index of refraction.

To construct an equation for the critical angle of any boundary, you can use

Snell’s Law and substitute 1 = c and 2=90°.

N1 sinc = n2 sin90°

Since sin90° = 1

Therefore n1 sinc= n2

Hence sinc= n2/n 1

Thus we can define critical angle as ` the sine of the critical angle is equal to the index of refraction of the refraction of the refracting medium divided by the index of refraction of the incident medium

NO transmitted ray

The two condition s required for total internal reflection to occur are as follows.

The light must travel from an optically more dense medium into an optically less dense medium

The angle of incidence must exceed the critical angle, associated with the material.
Question: 35
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:107%; font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">What is optical fibers? Give some applications of optical fibers.</span>
Answer: 35
35-58

Optical fibers: light can be trapped by total internal reflection inside a bent glass rod and `piped’ along a curved path called optical fiber.

Various glasses and plastics can be used to make optical fibers, Optical fiber transmits a beam of light by means of total internal reflection. Total internal reflection can occur in any transparent medium that has a higher index of refraction than the surrounding medium.

An optical fiber cable has a cylindrical shape and consists of three concentric sections: the core, the cladding and the jacket.

The core is the innermost section and consists of one or more very thin strands, made of glass or plastic. Each strand is surrounded by its own cladding, a glass or plastic coating that has optical properties different form the core

The boundary between the core and cladding acts as a reflector to confine light that would otherwise escape the core . The outermost layer, surrounding one or a bundle of cladded fibers, is the jacket. The jacket is made of plastic and other material layered to protect against moisture abrasion, crushing and other environmental dangers, the light traveling through the transparent fiber always hits the internal boundary of the optical fiber at an angle greater than the critical angle, so all of the light is transmitted through the boundary. Thus the light maintains its intensity over the distance of the fiber.
Question: 36
<p class="MsoNormal">Describe power of lens and it resolving power. What are its units?<o:p></o:p></p>
Answer: 36
36-58

Power of lens:

The degree of convergence or divergence of light rays falling on lens is called power of lens. Instrument makers often quote the power of a lens rather than its focal length. The power of a lens D, in diopters, a dimensionless number, is given by the equation

D = 1/f

Where f is the focal length of the lens expressed in meters. Eyeglass lenses are typically characterized in terms of diopters. The power of a lens in diopters should not be confused with the familiar concept of power in watts. It is an unfortunate fact that the word “power” is used for two completely different concepts. If you examine a prescription for eyeglasses, you will note lens powers given in diopters.

If you examine the label on a motor, you will note energy consumption rate given as a power in watts.

Write a note on spherical mirror; also explain its terms and types.
Answer: 38
38-58
Spherical mirrors; a mirror whose polished reflecting surface is a part of hollow sphere of glass or plastic is called a spherical mirror. In a spherical mirror, one of the two curved surfaces is coated with a thin layer of silver followed by a coating of red lead oxide paint. Thus, one side of the spherical mirror is opaque and the other side is a highly polished reflecting surface. Depending upon the nature of reflecting surface, there are two types of spherical mirrors.Concave mirror: a spherical mirror whose inner curved surface is reflecting is called concave mirror. In concave mirror the size of image depends on the position of the object. Note: both virtual and real images can be formed by concave mirror.Convex mirror: a spherical mirror whose outer curved surface is reflecting is called convex mirror. In convex mirror the size of the image is always smaller than the object.Note; only virtual and erect image is formed by a convex mirror.

Answer: 43
43-58
Total internal reflection: when a ray of light enter from a denser to a rare medium the angle of incident become larger from the critical angel no refraction occurs. The entire is reflected back into the denser medium. This is known as total internal reflection.Mechanism of total internal reflection; when a light ray enters from one medium to other medium it bend's toward or away from the normal. Thus , if a light ray enter from denser medium to rare medium it bends away from normal.If the angel of incidence increases the angle of refraction also increase. For a particular angle of incidence the angle of refraction become 90o . When the angle of incidence becomes larger that critical angel no refraction occurs. The entire light is reflected back into the denser medium. This is known as total internal reflection.

It is deviated by the prism from its original path. The incident ray PE makes an angle of incidence i at point E and is refracted towards the normal N as EF.
Question: 48
Define lenses, explain its types and terms.
Answer: 48
48-58
Lenses: a lens is any transparent material having tow surfaces of which at least one is curved. lenses refract light in such a way that an image of the object is formed.Uses: lenses of may different types are used in optical devices such as camera as eye glasses, microscopes , telescopes and projectors. They are enable millions of peoples to use to see clearly and read comfortably.
Question: 49
Describe refraction through lenses with the help of ray diagrams, also explain image formation when object is placed at different positions.
Answer: 49
49-58
Refraction through lenses; in mirrors images are formed through reflection , but lenses form images through refraction. This can be explained with the help of ray diagram as follow:Ray diagraom of lenses: image foramtion in convex lenses can be explained with the help of three principal rays.The ray parallel to the principal axis passes through the focal point after refraction by the lens.The ray passing the optical center passes straight through the lens and passes undeviated.The ray passing through the focal point becomes parallel to the principal axis after refraction by the lens.
Question: 50
Explain lens formula? what are sign conservations for lens?
Answer: 50
50-58
Image location by lens equation;Lens formula; the relationship between the object and image distance from the lens in terms of the focal lenght of the lens is called as lens formula.Formula: 1/f= 1/p+1/q
Question: 51
Write note on application of lenses.
Answer: 51
51-58
Application of lenses: now we discuss application of lenses in some optical devices such as camera, slide projector and photograph enlarger.Camera: a simple camera consists of a light-proof box with a converging lens in front and a light sensitive plate or film at the back. The lens focuses images to be photographed onto the film. In simple lens camera, the distance between lens and film is fixed which is equal to the focal length of lens. In camera, object is placed beyond 2f. A real inverted and diminished image is formed in this way as shown in figure.
Question: 52
Wire a note on simple microscope.
Answer: 52
52-58
Simple microscope: a magnifying glass is a convex lens which is used to produce magnified image of small objects. Hence , it is also called simple microscope. The object is placed near to the lens than the principal focus such that an upright, virtual and magnified image is seen clearly at 25cm from normal eye.Magnifying power definition: the angular magnification is the relation between the angular size of final image produced bye the magnifying glass and by an angular size of the object seen without magnifying glass.M=angular size of final image produce by magnifying glass/angular size of object seen without magnifying glass
Question: 53
Write a note on compound microscope?
Answer: 53
53-58
Compound microscope: compound microscope has two converging lenses, the objective and the eyepiece and is used to investigate structure of small objects.Features:It gives greater magnification than a single lens.The objective lens has a short focal length fo<1cmThe eye piece has a focal length , fe of a few centimeters
Question: 54
Write note on telescope, also explain structure and principle
Answer: 54
54-58
Telescope: it is an optical instrument which is used to observe distant objects using lenses or mirrors.Refracting telescope: a telescope that uses two converging lenses is called refracting telescope. In refracting telescope, an objective lens and eyepiece are used.Objective lens: form a real image, of the distant object.Eye piece: form a virtual image, that is viewed by the eye.
Question: 55
Write a note on production of electric charges?
Answer: 55
55-58
Production of electric charges: if we rub a plastic comb through our hairs and bring it near small pieces of paper, the comb attracts them similarly, amber when rubbed with silk attracts the small pieces of paper. This property of attraction or repulsion between substances is due to the electric charges they acquire during rubbing.We can produce electric charge by rubbing a neutral body with another neutral body. Following activities show that we can produce two types of electric charge through the process of rubbing.Activity: take a plastic rod. Rub it with fur and suspend it horizontally by a silk thread. Now take another plastic rob and rubit with fur and bring near the suspended rod. Wewill observe that both the rods will repel each other. It means during the rubbing both the rods were charged.
Question: 56
What do you mean by defects of vision . Explain myopia and hypermetropia?
Answer: 56
56-58
Hypermetropia: it is the inability of the eye to form distant images of nearby objects on its retina is known as hypermetropia.Reason; when a farsighted eye tries to focus on a book hold closer than the near point it shortens its focal length as much as it can. However even at its shortest, the focal length is longer than it should be therefore, the light ray from the book would form a sharp image behind the retina.Correction: this defect can be corrected by using converging lens.Explanation: the lens refracts the light rays and they converge to form an image on retina.To observe these rays appears to come from near point to form a sharp virtual image on retina
Question: 57
Write a note on function of human eye?
Answer: 57
57-58
Function of eye: human eye acts like a camera. In place of film, the retina records the picture. The lens form images on retina.Mechanism of eye: the eye has a refracting system containing a converging lens . In camera distance of lens from film is adjusted for proper focus but in eye , the lens changes focal length.Retina: the lens forms image on retina which is a light sensitive layer at the back of eye.Cornea: light enters the eye through a transparent membrane are called cornea.Iris: the iris is the colored portion of eye and control amount of light reaching the retina.Pupil: iris has an opening at its center called pupil the iris controls the size of pupil.Contraction of iris: in bright light , iris contracts the size of pupil while in dim light pupil is enlarged. The lens of eye is flexible and accommodated objects over a wide range of distances.Near point: the near point of the eye is the minimum distance of an object from the eye at which it produces a sharp image on the retina. This distance is also called least distance of distinct vision. Its value for normal eye is 25cm.Far point: the far point of the eye is the maximum distance of object from the eye on which the fully relaxed eye can focus. A person with normal eyesight can see object very far away such as planets and stars, thus has far point located at infinity. Majority of people not have "normal eye".
Question: 58
What is accommodation, explain it
Answer: 58
58-58
Accommodation: variation of focal length of eye lens to form a sharp image on retina is called accommodation. The camera focuses the image of an object at a given distance form it by moving the lens towards or away from the film.Adjusting mechanism: the eye has different adjusting mechanism for focusing the image of an object on retina. Its ciliary muscles control the curvature and thus focal length of lens, and allow objects at various distances to be seen.Object far away from eye: if an object is far away from eye, the deviation of light through the lens must be less. To do this the ciliary muscles relax and decrease the curvature of lens. There by increasing the focal length. The rays are thus focuses onto retina producing a sharp image of distant object.Object close to eye: if an object is close to eye, the ciliary muscles increase curvature of lens, thereby shortening focal length. The divergent rays from nearer object are thus bent more so as to come to focus on retina.Defects in accommodation: the variation of focal length of eye is called accommodation. It is large in young people, while it goes on decreasing with age. Defects in accommodation may be corrected by using different types of lens in eyeglasses.
