CUET Physics Ray Optics and Optical Instruments: Important Points to Remember
There are following important points in this chapter of Ray Optics and Optical Instruments.
- If a mirror is turned through θ then the reflected ray turns through 2θ angle.
- A person with a velocity V moves towards a plane mirror then the image moves towards the person with velocity 2V.
- A medium with higher refractive index is said to be optically denser index.
- Critical angle of water and diamond are 48.750 and 24.400 respectively.
- In total internal reflection, there is no loss of intensity because 100% of incident light is reflected back into the same medium but with mirror or lens loss of intensity is found.
- Optical fibres used in transmission and reception of electrical signal are used by converting them first into light signals.
- In case of thick lens focal length depends upon whether one or the other surface faces the incident light.
- Real images form on the side of lens that is opposite to the object and virtual images form on the side.
- If the lenses of focal lengths f1 & f2 are separated by a finite distance d, the focal length F of the equivalent lens is given by
-
When lens is immersed in a liquid or medium its focal length always increase but nature of lens changes which is as (i) no > nm = nature remains same (ii) no < nm = nature becomes opposite (iii) no = nm = lens disappear
- When refracting angle of prism is small (100), the deviation ẟ is calculated from the relation ẟ = (µ–1)A.
- For prism with bigger refracting angles the deviation is calculated from ẟ = (i1 + i2 ) – A.
- Primary rainbow is more bright than secondary rainbow.
- There is no dispersion of light refracted through a rectangular glass slab but lateral displacement occurs.
- In lateral displacement, there is no overlapping of colour is called a pure spectrum.
- Back of observer must be towards the sun is the essential condition for observing a rainbow.
- The distance between near point and far point of the eye is called Range of vision.
- For a child, near point may be as close as about 7 to 8 cm and for an old man, near point may be as far as 200 cm.
- In a telescope, aperture of objective lens made large to increase magnifying power and resolving power of the telescope.
- The largest reflecting telescope in India has a diameter of 2.34 m. It is being maintained by Indian Institute of Astro
Physics, Bangalore. - Images formed by mirror do not show chromatic aberration.
- If a lens is made of several materials. Number of Materials = Number of Images
CUET Physics Ray Optics and Optical Instruments: Important Graphs
1. The graph of 1/u versus 1/v for a concave mirror, if real image is formed.
2. The graph shows variation of v with change in u for a mirror.
3. The graph between angle of deviation (δ) and angle of incidence (i) for a triangular prism is represented by
4. Refraction through parallel slab Emergent ray is parallel to the incident ray, if medium is same on both sides.
Note: Emergent ray will not be parallel to the incident ray if the medium on both the sides are different.
5. Apparent depth of submerged object
For near normal incidence 
.
Note: h and h’ are always measured from surface.
Note: Shift is always in direction of incidence ray.
6. Critical angle & total internal reflection (TIR)
