Key Topics to Revise

1

Refraction at Single Curved Surface

  • Light bends towards normal when traveling from rarer to denser medium
  • Light bends away from normal when traveling from denser to rarer medium
  • Laws of refraction (Snell's law) are valid for curved surfaces
2

Lenses and Types

  • Lens is formed when transparent material is bounded by two surfaces, at least one being curved
  • Convex lenses are thicker at center (converging lenses)
  • Concave lenses are thinner at center (diverging lenses)
3

Ray Behavior and Image Formation

  • Ray along principal axis passes undeviated
  • Ray through optic center passes undeviated
  • Ray parallel to principal axis passes through focus after refraction
4

Lens Formula and Magnification

  • Lens formula relates object distance, image distance, and focal length
  • Sign convention: All distances measured from optic center, positive in direction of light, negative opposite to light direction
  • Magnification indicates size and nature of image
