Important points of Chapter 10-Light Reflection and Refraction

 

1. The ability of the eye to focus both near and far objects, by adjusting its focal length is called the accommodation of the eye.

2. The smallest distance at which the eye can see objects clearly without strain, is called the near the point of the eye or the least distance of the distinct vision. For an adult with normal vision, it is about 25 cm.

3. The common refractive defects of vision include myopia, hypermetropia, and presbyopia. Myopia(short-sightedness- the image of distant objects is focused before the retina) is corrected by using a concave lens of suitable power. Hypermetropia (farsightedness- the image of nearby objects is focused beyond the retina) is corrected by using a concave lens of suitable power. The eye loses its power of accommodation at old age.

4. The splitting of white light into its component colour is called dispersion.

5. Scattering of light causes the blue colour of the sky and the reddening of the sun at sunrise and sunset.

 6. light is a form of energy that makes the object visible.

7. When light falls on a smooth or uneven surface and comes back to the same medium, this phenomenon is called reflection.

8. in-plane mirror, the virtual image of the size of the object and at an equal distance from the mirror is formed.

9. Radius of spherical mirrors is double the focal length.

10. When the light goes from one medium to another its speed changes and the light ray bends, this phenomenon is called refraction of light.

11. In refraction, the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is constant and called the refractive index.

12. When the light goes from a denser to a rarer medium it bends away from the normal and the angle of refraction remains greater than the angle of incidence.
