RAY OPTICS AND OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS
_____________________ Slide 1 ______________________
Thin Lenses: History
§ Thin lens were first used for practical purposes by a Dutch merchant, Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1632 – 1723).
§ He used very small pieces of glass (it is easier to have a flawless small piece of glass than a flawless large one) and polished them so accurately that he could get magnifications of more than 200 without loss of detail.
§ He was able to see blood capillaries, and tiny living animals (protozoa).
_____________________ Slide 2 ______________________
Microscopes
§ Such strong magnifying lenses are microscopes (from Greek words meaning “to see the small”).
§ A microscope, like the one Leeuwenhoek used, made with one lens are called “simple” microscopes.
§ If two lenses are used it is called a “compound” microscope.
_____________________ Slide 3 ______________________
Telescopes
§ The word telescope comes from the Greek “to see the distant.
§ The telescope is supposed to have been invented by an apprentice-boy in the shop of the Dutch spectacle maker Hans Lipershey (ca. (1570 – 1619) in about 1608.
§ Galileo Galilei (1564 – 1642), upon hearing rumors of the new device, experimented with lenses until he had built the first practical telescope in 1610.

Introduction:
§ Light is a non-mechanical (requires no medium for propagation) form of energy due to which we have sensation of vision.
§ The branch of study of light is called optics.

§ Broadly optics is divided into three groups. (1) Geometrical optics (2) Wave optics (3) Quantum optics
_____________________ Slide 7 ______________________
Geometrical optics
§ In this, light is considered as a ray on which its transfer takes place.
_____________________ Slide 8 ______________________
§ Geometrical optics states that for each and every object there is an image.
§ Geometrical optics works on following assumptions. § Rectilinear propogration of light i.e. light ray travels in in
straight line.
1. Lawsof reflection.
2. Lawsof refraction
3. Physical independence of light rays i.e. two light rays
are totally independent from each other.
_____________________ Slide 9 ______________________
The Ray (Particle) Model of Light
§ Evidence suggests that light travels in straight lines under a wide variety of circumstances.
§ We infer the positions of objects by assuming that light moves from the objects to our eyes in straight lines.
§ This is the ray model of light. § Newton used the ray model. § Ray model explains reflection, refraction, and the
formation of images by mirrors and lenses. § This subject is often referred to as geometrical optics.

Interactions of Light with Matter
Interactions between light and matter determine the appearance of everything around us: objects reflect some wavelengths, absorb others and emit others.

The Speed of Light and Index of Refraction
§ The accepted value today for the speed of light in a vacuum is c = 2.99792458 x 108 m/s. We usually round off to c = 3.0
x 108 m/s.
Slide 19
Reflection of Light
_____________________ Slide 20 _____________________
Object
§ Any source of light is called an object and is of two types.
Real object
§ When light rays diverse from a light source, object is real.
_____________________ Slide 21 _____________________
Virtual object
§ When light rays converge towards the light source, object is virtual.
§ To find the position of object we should find out the point of
intersection of incident rays.
_____________________ Slide 22 _____________________
Image
§ To find the position of Image we should find out the point of intersection of reflected or refracted ray. There are of two types of images.
Real Image
§ If the reflected or refracted ray converges towards the point of intersection the image is real.

Slide 23
Virtual Image
§ If the reflected or refracted rays diverges from a point then the point of intersection is virtual Image.
_____________________ Slide 24 _____________________
Mirror
§ A smooth and shiny surface on which reflection can take place is called a mirror, having two types. 1. Plane mirror. 2. Spherical mirror.
_____________________ Slide 25 _____________________
Reflection of light
§ The returing back of light in the same medium from which it has come after striking a surface is called reflection of light.
§ Reflection may be § Diffused reflection – here random reflections take place
through irregular surfaces. § Specular reflection - here regular reflections take place
through plane surfaces.

Conceptual Example
How tall must a full-length mirror be?
A women 1.60 m tall stands in front of a vertical plane mirror. What is the minimum height of the mirror, and how high must it lower edge be above the floor, if she is to see her whole body? (Assume her eyes are 10 cm below the top of her head.)
_____________________ Slide 33 _____________________

Reflection of light though plane mirror
Laws of Reflection
(i) The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence all lie in the same
plane.
(ii) The angle of reflection r is equal to the angle of incidence i, that is i = r.

Image of an extended object in a plane
The image will be an inverted one.
_____________________ Slide 37 _____________________
Properties of the image formed by a plane mirror
§ The image is as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror. Object distance = image distance.
§ The image is unmagnified, virtual and erect. Height of object = height of Image.
§ The image has front-back reversal. i.e. It shows lateral inversion i.e. left potion of object appears as right portion of Image.
_____________________ Slide 38 _____________________
§ A plane mirror deviates light through an angle δ = 180° − 2i
§ Where i is the angle of incidence. The deviation is maximum for normal incidence. δmax = 180°.
§ Glancing angle φ = angle between mirror and reflected rays is called glancing angle φ = 90 – i = 90 – r.

Slide 39
Rotation of Mirror
§ If the direction of the incident ray is kept constant and the mirror is rotated through an angle θ about an axis in the plane of mirror, then the reflected ray rotates through an angle 2θ.
_____________________ Slide 40 _____________________
§ If an object moves toward or away from) a plane mirror at speed v, the image will also approach (or recede) at the same speed v, and the relative velocity of image with respect to object will be 2v, as shown in figure a.
_____________________ Slide 41 _____________________
§ If the mirror is moved toward (or away from) the object with speed v, the image will also move towards or away from) the object with a speed 2v.
_____________________ Slide 42 _____________________
Number of image by inclined mirrors
§ When θ, the angle between the two mirrors, is an exact sub multiple of 180°
§ The total number of images formed due to successive
reflection is equal to either 360°
θor 360 1° − θ
.
§ Accordingly as 360°
θ is odd or even, respectively.
§ In the first case (360°
θ is odd) when the object is placed
exactly midway between the two mirrors, the two images
coincide and the total number of images is 360 1° − θ .
Slide 43
Solved Example
If, θ = 90°, n = 3, θ = 72°, n = 36072

Rays parallel to the principal axis of the mirror come to a focus at F, called the focal point, as long as the mirror is small in diameter, d, as compared to its radius of curvature, r. In that case q will be small and the rays will cross each other at very nearly the same point.
_____________________ Slide 50 _____________________
Reflection from Curved Surfaces
Important Terms
(i) Centre of Curvature (C) It is the centre of sphere of which the mirror is a part.
(ii) Radius of Curvature (R) It is the radius of the spherical reflecting surface.
Slide 51
(iii) Pole (P) It is the geometrical centre of the spherical reflecting surface.
(iv) Principal Axis It is the straight line joining the centre of curvature to the pole.
_____________________ Slide 52 _____________________
(v) Focus (F) When a narrow beam of rays of light, parallel to the principal axis and close to it, is incident on the surface of a mirror, the reflected beam is found to converage or appear to diverge from a point on the principal axis. This point is called the focus .
(vi) Focal length (f) It is the distance between the pole and the principal focus. For spherical mirrors f = R/2
_____________________ Slide 53 _____________________
Reflection of light from spherical (curved) sign convention
§ Pole is taken to be the origin and the principal axis as the x-axis.
§ The quantities u, v, R and f is positive if the corresponding point lies on the positive side of the origin (in the direction of incident light) and negative if it is on the negative side. (opposite to the direction of incident light).
_____________________ Slide 54 _____________________
§ The distances measured in the upward direction, perpendicular to the principal axis of the mirror are taken as positive and those measured in downward direction is taken as negative.
_____________________ Slide 55 _____________________
Rules for ray diagrams
§ The position, size and nature of an image formed by mirrors are conventionally expressed as ray diagrams. We can locate the image of any extended object graphically by drawing any two of the following four special rays: (a) A ray, initially parallel to the principal axis is reflected
through the focus of the mirror.

Slide 56
(b) A ray, initially passing through the focus is reflected parallel to the principal axis.
(c) A ray passing through the centre of curvature is reflected back along itself.
(d) A ray incident at the pole is reflected symmetrically.

Mirror Formula
In terms of Cartesian Sign convention mirror formula may be expressed as:
1 1 1v u f
+ =
Where, u = object distance from the pole
v = image distance from the pole,
f = focal length of the mirror.
_____________________ Slide 58 _____________________
Relation between u, v and R for spherical mirrors
§ Consider the situation shown in figure. A point object is placed at the point O of the principal axis of a concave
mirror.
§ The line CA is the normal at A.
_____________________ Slide 59 _____________________
§ Thus, by the laws of reflection. ∠OCA = ∠CAI. Let α, β, γ
and θ denote the angles AOP, ACP, AIP and OAC
respectively. § As the exterior angle in a triangle equals the sum of the
opposite interior angles, we have,
From triangle OAC β = α + θ ….(i)
And from triangle OAI γ = α + 2θ ….(ii)
_____________________ Slide 60 _____________________
§ Eliminating θ are from (i) and (ii)

Note:
§ While using the mirror formula always write only known
quantities with sign and unknown quantities without sign.

Magnification
§ Magnification – It is defined as the ratio of dimension of
Image to the dimension of object (m). § It is a pure number.

−= =
§ Where h i = height of image, h0 = height of object.
§ If magnification m is positive, the image is erect w.r.t. respect to the object;
§ If m is negative image is inverted with respect to the object.
§ For a real image by spherical mirror, m is negative. § For a virtual image by spherical mirror, m is positive.
_____________________ Slide 64 _____________________
Application of mirror formula
§ The mirror formulae may be used to find the position, nature
and size of the image formed by a spherical mirror.
Limitation
§ The limitation of the formulae is that it is applicable only for paraxial rays (the rays which make very small angle with
the principal axis).

Introduction:
Refraction through plane surface refraction of light
§ Refraction is a phenomena of light due to which it bends while travelling from one medium to another.
§ When light goes from one medium to another medium. ü Its velocity changes ü Its wavelength changes ü Its path may or may not change. ü Its frequency remains unchanged.
_____________________ Slide 79 _____________________
§ During, the propagation of light from one medium to another medium changes its velocity and wavelength and the path also changes (except ∠i = 0).
§ When light goes from an optically rarer to an optically dense medium, it bends towards normal provided ∠i ≠ 0 as shown in the fig.
_____________________ Slide 80 _____________________
When light goes from an optically dense to an optically rarer medium it bends away from normal provided. ∠i ≠ 0, Fig.

Critical Angle
§ When light attempts to move from a medium having a given
index of refraction to one having a lower index of refraction.
Slide 92
§ As the incidence angle (θ1) is increased until a particular angle (θc), as shown in figure, the angle of refraction will be 90º and the refracted ray would skim the surface of the glass.
§ The incidence angle at which this occurs is called the critical angle, denoted as

Total internal reflection
“Total internal reflection is an effect occurs only when light
attempts to move from a medium of given index of refraction to a medium of lower index of refraction and the incidence angle is
equal or greater than the critical angle of the higher refractive
index medium .”

Application of total internal reflection
_____________________ Slide 101 ____________________
Diamonds achieve their brilliance from a combination of dispersion and total internal reflection. Because diamonds have a very high index of refraction of about 2.4, the critical angle for total internal reflections only 25 degree. Incident light therefore strikes many of the internal surfaces before it strikes one at less than 25 degree and emerges. After many such reflections, the light has traveled far enough that the colors have become sufficiently separated to be seen individually and brilliantly by the eye after leaving the crystal.

Some Indices of Refraction
_____________________ Slide 103 ____________________
Snell’s law
§ Incident ray, Refracted ray and Normal lie in the same
plane.
§ When light propagates through a series of layers of different medium as shown in the figure, then according to Snell’s law
we may write,
µ1 sin θ1 = µ2 sin θ2 = µ3 sin θ3 = … = constant
_____________________ Slide 104 ____________________
§ In general, µ sin θ = constant. i.e. for given any two media where light ray strikes the
interface
µ1 × sin i = µ2 × sin r
_____________________ Slide 105 ____________________
Conclusion from Snell’s law
§ When light passes from rarer to denser medium, it bends towards the normal as shown in the figure.

Relation between object and image distance
§ An object O placed in medium 1 (refractive index µ1) is
viewed from the medium 2 (refractive index µ2).
§ It is important to note that the object and image both are formed on the same side of the boundary.
§ The image distance y and the object distance x are related
as

µ= µ

Here, x = Real depth/height y = Apparent depth/height
_____________________ Slide 110 ____________________
§ If µ2 > µ1, that is, when the object is observed from a denser medium, it appears to be farther away from the interface, i.e., y > x. or, Apparent height > Real height.
§ If µ2 < µ1, that is, when the object is observed from a rarer medium, it appears to be closer to the interface, i.e. y < x. i.e. Apparent depth < Real depth.
Note:
§ The above formula is only applicable for normal view or paraxial ray assumption.
_____________________ Slide 111 ____________________
Total Internal Reflection
§ The phenomenon of total internal reflection occurs when light travels from a medium of high refractive index to a medium of lower refractive index.
§ At the critical angle (θc), the refracted ray just grazes the boundary between two media.
_____________________ Slide 112 ____________________
§ Using Snell’s law, we get
§ µ1 sin θc = µ2 sin 90° 1or , sin− 2
1
µθ = µ
§ Here, θ1 < θc < θ2
Slide 113
§ For an angle of incidence greater than θc, the light is totally reflected back into the medium of higher refractive index. This phenomenon is called total internal reflection.
_____________________ Slide 114 ____________________
Optical fibers:
§ The optical fibres can transmit light beam from one end to the other due to the repeated total internal reflections even if the fiber is bent or twisted.

§ The light from an object enters the eye through the transparent cornea.
§ It passes through a transparent lens held in place by ciliary muscles and is focused on the retina.
§ The retina is sensitive to light and sends messages to the brain by way of optic nerve.
§ An iris in front of the lens changes in size to regulate the amount of light that enters the eye.
_____________________ Slide 208 ____________________
§ It may be noted that the image of the object formed on the retina is real and inverted w.r.t. object.
§ However, our brain interprets it as an erect image w.r.t. object.
§ The human eye is about 2.5 cm in diameter and its neat spherical shape is maintained by the pressure of the fluid within it.
§ A normal eye can focus on object located anywhere from about 25 cm to hundreds of kilometers away.

Defects of vision
Short sightedness (or myopia)
§ A person who can see the near objects clearly but cannot focus on distant objects is short sighted.
§ This defect occurs if a person’s eyeball is larger than the usual diameter.
§ In such a case, the image of a distant object is formed in front of the retina as shown in fig.

Solved Example
Far point of a short-sighted person is 100 cm. What lens should he use to see distant objects clearly?
Slide 218
Solution
Since the far point of the short-sighted person is 100 cm away, he can see objects situated up to a distance of 100 cm. so, the lens used should be such that it forms the image (virtual) of the distant object at a distance of 100 cm. ∴ u = – ∞, v = – 100 cm

Reflection
§ Light that hits a mirror is reflected at the same angle it was incident from
§ Proper design of a mirror (the shape of a parabola) can focus all rays incident on the mirror to a single place
_____________________ Slide 239 ____________________
Whoops - The Hubble needs a contact lens
§ Both types of telescope can suffer from a defect called spherical aberration so that not all of the light is focused to the same point.
§ This can happen if the mirror is not curved enough (shaped like part of a sphere instead of a paraboloid) or the glass lens is not shaped correctly.
Slide 240
§ The Hubble Space Telescope objective suffers from this (it is too flat by 2 microns, about 1/50 the width of a human hair) so it uses corrective optics to compensate.
§ The corrective optics intercept the light beams from the secondary mirror before they reach the cameras and spectrographs. Fortunately, the Hubble Space Telescope's spherical aberration is so perfect, that it is easy to correct for!

Magnifying power of a compound microscope
_____________________ Slide 258 ____________________
§ Angular magnification or magnifying power of a compound microscope is defined as the ratio of the angle subtended by the final image at the eye to the angle subtended by the object seen directly, when both are placed at the least distance of distinct vision.
_____________________ Slide 259 ____________________

manufacture, cheaper than lens, lighter than an equivalent.
§ The light gathering power of a reflecting type telescope is so large that the final image formed is brighter.

A refracting telescope has an objective of focal length 30 cm and
an eyepiece of focal length 3 cm. It is focused on a scale distant
2 m. For seeing with relaxed eye calculate the separation between the objective and the eyepiece.
_____________________ Slide 284 ____________________
Solution
For seeing with relaxed eye, the final image should be formed at
infinity. This is possible if the image formed by objective is at the
focus of the eyepiece. Let v0 be the distance of the image formed by the objective.
Using lens formula for the objective lens, we have,
