Class10 Light Notes

Light is a form of energy that enables vision and can reflect off surfaces, following specific laws such as the angle of incidence equaling the angle of reflection. There are different types of mirrors (plane, concave, convex) and lenses (convex, concave) with associated formulas for magnification and power. Refraction occurs when light bends while passing through different media, governed by the laws of refraction and the refractive index.

LIGHT – Class 10 Quick Revision Notes

Definition:

Light is a form of energy that helps us to see objects.

Reflection of Light:

When light strikes a surface and bounces back, it is called reflection.

Laws:

1. Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection

2. All rays lie in the same plane

Types of Mirrors:

Plane Mirror – Virtual, erect, same size

Concave Mirror – Real & inverted (mostly), used in headlights

Convex Mirror – Virtual, erect, diminished, used as rear-view mirror

Mirror Formula:

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

Magnification:

m = h_i/h_o = v/u

Refraction:

Bending of light when it passes from one medium to another

Laws of Refraction:

1. Rays lie in same plane

2. sin i / sin r = constant

Refractive Index:

n = c/v

Lenses:

Convex Lens – Converging

Concave Lens – Diverging

Lens Formula:

1/f = 1/v - 1/u

Power of Lens:
P = 1/f (Unit: Dioptre)
