List of formulas related to gemetric optics
Laws Of Reflection
SI: incident ray, IR: reflected ray, i: angle of incidence, i’: angle of reflection
Refractive Index
n: refractive index of the medium, v: speed of light in a medium, c: speed of light in vacuum (m/s)
Law Of Refraction
n1: refractive index of the medium 1, n2: refractive index of medium 2, i: angle of incidence, r: angle of refraction, n21: absolute index of refraction
Total Reflection Phenomenon
There is no refracted ray if
Prism
A: apex angle, D: deviation angle, i1: angle of incidence, i2: angle of emergent ray
Condition to have refractive ray
When angle of incidence is minimum
Thin Lens
f: focal length (converging len f>0; diverging len f<0), d: object distance from lens center, d’: image distance from lens center
Magnification Factor
hI ; image height, ho: object height
Power Of The Lens
n: refractive index of the lens material, R1: radius of curvature of the lens surface closest to the light source, R2: radius of curvature of the lens surface farthest from the light source
