Reflection, refraction

Brewster’s law is one of those concepts of physics that often come up in informal conversation, but it is not easy to define. In a recent study, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania provided clarity on the concept and demonstrated how it could be used to improve the performance of lasers. Here, we look at […]

Concave lens: The polar opposite of a convex lens, a concave lens causes parallel light beams to curve outwardly or diverge. Concentric lenses are also known as diverging lenses as a result of this. The distinction between concave and convex lenses becomes clear when considering the concave lens internally. Convex lens: A convex lens (also

Mirror A mirror is a reflective surface that is smooth and well-polished. Mirrors are divided into two types: spherical and plane mirrors. When an object is placed in front of a mirror, the light bounces off it, creating either a real or a virtual image of the object. When the light beams really intersect, a

Concave Lens In addition to making distant objects appear closer, lens might also be used to make objects that are small appear larger and objects that are fuzzy appear clear using magnifying glasses and corrective lenses. A concave lens is one that has at least one surface that curves inwards. It is a diverging lens, which

Concave Mirror When a hollow sphere is cut into certain pieces and the exterior surface of the cut part is painted, it becomes a mirror, with the interior surface reflecting light. As a result, you’ll have a concave mirror. A concave mirror, also known as a converging mirror, is a mirror that is turned inwards

Total internal reflection occurs due to the refraction of light. When light travels from one medium to another the direction as well as the speed of light changes. This phenomenon is known as the refraction of light. The driving force of refraction is change of optical density of the medium. Optical density and real density

The deviation of light occurs when a beam of light changes route as it travels from one medium to another. Refraction occurs twice when a ray of light passes through a prism. It enters and exits the prism twice. Light rays bend towards the normal while passing from an optically rarer media to an optically

Introduction The bending of light beams at the meeting point of two transparent media is known as refraction. This is due to a shift in the direction of the light wave as well as the bending of light waves at the media’s meeting point. Refraction  through a spherical surface happens when the speed of a

The behaviour of light, as a rule, depicts the conduct of apparent, bright, and infrared light. The experiment is demonstrated by Young’s double-hole experiment, or the modern, two-hole experiment, or the double-hole experiment, that both light and matter exhibit properties of both wave and particle. Apart from this, the experiment also shows the probabilistic nature

X-rays were discovered on 8 November 1895 by a German Physicist Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen. X-ray is defined as an electromagnetic radiation having very short wavelength and having very high energy. The frequency of X rays are ranging from 30 petahertz (101015 Hz) to 30 exahertz (301018 Hz).  The wavelength of X-rays is longer than the
