Introduction to Refraction

Introduction to Refraction

Refraction happens when a wave crosses a boundary between Medium 1 and Medium 2, the wave changes direction because it changes velocity. Frequency remains constant. Velocity changes…
What is an Optical System?

What is an Optical System?

Basic purpose of this lecture is to present on What is an Optical System. In optics, an image-forming optical system is a system capable of being used…
Difference between Reflection and Refraction

Difference between Reflection and Refraction

This lecture introduce on difference between Reflection and Refraction. When a wave reaches a boundary it is: Partially reflected (bounces off surface) and Partially transmitted through surface. Reflection…
Lenses – an Application of Refraction

Lenses – an Application of Refraction

There are 2 basic types of lenses: Convex and concave lens. A converging lens (Convex) takes light rays and bring them to a point. A diverging lens (concave) takes light…
Curved Mirrors

Curved Mirrors

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…
Lecture on Spherical Mirrors

Lecture on Spherical Mirrors

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

Dissipative System

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…
Optics and Mirrors

Optics and Mirrors

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…
Presentation on Reflection

Presentation on Reflection

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…
Light: Geometric Optics

Light: Geometric Optics

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…
Presentation on Light and Optics

Presentation on Light and Optics

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…
Lecture on Diffraction Gratings

Lecture on Diffraction Gratings

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…
