Optics is the study of light in the field of physics. It refers to the study and properties of light. Optical phenomena can be classified into three categories: ray optics, wave optics, and quantum optics. Geometrical optics, also known as ray optics, is…

Converging Lens

Converging lens, also known as a convex lens, is thinner at the upper and lower edges and thicker at the center. The edges are curved outwards. This lens can converge a beam of parallel rays of light that is coming from outside and focus it on a point on…

Plano-Convex Lens

To understand the topic well we will first break down the name of the topic, ‘Plano Convex lens’ into three separate words and look at them individually.

Lateral Magnification

In very simple terms, the same object can be viewed in enlarged versions of itself, which we call magnification. To rephrase, magnification is the ability to enlarge the image of an object without physically altering its dimensions and structure. This pr…

Type your answers in all of the blanks and submit Sunlight enters a room at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal and reflects from a small mirror lying flat on the floor. The reflected light forms a spot on a wall that is 2.50 m behind the mirror (Figure 28-53). You place a notebook under the edge of the mirror nearest to the wall, tilting it upward by 4.00°. How much higher on the wall (Ah) is the spot? Type your answer here cm
