Formulas:
Focal Length (f) = R/2
Mirror Equation= 1/v + 1/u = 1f
Linear Magnification (m) = height of the image/ height of the object
= h’/ h
Magnification Formula = - v/u
Snell’s law of refraction/Refractive Index= sin i/sin r
Apparent depth = Real depth/ Refractive Index of the medium
Relation between object and image distance = [n2/v - n1/u]= (n2-n1)/R
Lens Maker's Formula =
Power of lens (P)= 1/f
Total magnification= product of multiple magnifications (m1 x m2 x m3….)
Total power of lens (P)= P1 + P2 + P3+ …….
Minimum Deviation = (n 21- 1)/A
Magnification in simple microscope (m) = 1+ D/f
Total Magnification = Mo x Me
= [ (L/fo) x (D/fe) ]
Length of telescope tube = fo + fe
Magnification of telescope = fo/fe
CBSE Class 12 Physics Chapter 9, Ray Optics and Optical Instruments Ray Diagrams
are presented below:
Ray Diagrams
Reflection of light by spherical mirrors
Sign Convention
Refraction of light
Lateral shift of a ray refracted through a parallel-sided lab
Concave Lens
Power of a lens
Simple Microscope, magnifying glass is located such that the image is at the near point
Simple Microscope, the angle subtended by the object is same as that of the near point
Simple Microscope, the object near the focal point of the lens, the image is far off but closer
than infinity
Formation of image by compound microscope
Refracting Telescope
Important to Note:
Value of speed of light in vacuum (c)- 3 x 108 m/s
SI unit for the power of lens is Dioptre (D)
