Principle purpose of this lecture is to present on Curved Mirrors. It is a tutorial study based lecture. A convex mirror is a spherical reflecting surface (or…

Spherical mirrors are mirrors whose surfaces form a part of a hollow sphere. The spheres can be made of glass or any polished metal surfaces.…

Dissipative System is a term of physics, which is a thermodynamically open system. It is operating out of, and often far from, thermodynamic equilibrium in…

Major purpose of this lecture is to present on Optics and Mirrors. Rays seem to come from behindthe mirror, but, of course, theydon’t.  It is virtually as…

The aim of this lecture is to present on Reflection. Law of Reflection: the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. The angle which the incident ray…

Prime purpose of this lecture is to present on Light: Geometric Optics. Light travels in straight lines under a wide variety of circumstances. Light travels in straight line…

General purpose of this lecture is to present on Light and Optics. Optics is the branch of physics which involves the behaviour and properties of light, including…

A different grating has numerous tiny slits, equally spaced. It separates white light into its component colors just as a double slit would. When a…

Christiaan Huygens, a contemporary of Newton, was an advocate of the wave theory of light. Huygen’s principle states that a wave crest can be thought…

This lecture introduce on Concave Mirrors. A curved mirror is a mirror with a curved reflecting surface. One advantage that mirror optics have over lens optics is that mirrors do not introduce chromatic…

Galileo was the first to use a refracting telescope for astronomy. It is difficult to make large refracting telescopes, though, because the objective lens becomes…

Refracting telescopes are comprised of two convex lenses. The objective lens collects light from a distant source, converging it to a focus and forming a…
