Interference in Thin Films A thin film is the soap film or a film of oil spread over water surface which appears bright or dark when viewed in a monochromatic light and appears coloured when viewed in white light. (Interference…
Huygens Principle Introduction To Wave Optics The ray optics assuming that the light travels in a straight line except at the interface separating two media, provides the useful information and explains the phenomena like, reflection, refraction and rectilinear propagation of…
Telescope A telescope is an optical instrument used to observe and see the distant objects magnified, clear and distinct. Telescopes are one of the most important tools for understanding the universe. They allow us to see distant objects in space…
The Human Eye The Human Eye The eye is probably the most important optical instrument. The eye is probably the most important optical instrument. In principle, an eye can be compared to a photographic camera. In the camera, the aperture…
Dispersion of Light Dispersion of Light When white light passes through a prism, it splits into its constituent colors – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet – creating a beautiful rainbow effect. (Dispersion of Light) Optics is the study…
Microscopes These are the optical instruments used for observing the minute objects. Optics is a field of science that studies the behavior and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and the construction of instruments that use or detect…
Interference of waves 12 – Learn in Fun Interference It is the phenomenon re-distribution of energy of the medium due to the superposition on two coherent waves. The energy is uniformly distributed in the medium when a source of light…
Defects of vision Defects of vision A person with a normal eye can see the objects lying between near points and the far points (infinity for normal eyes) A person with a normal eye can see the objects lying between…
Refraction of light through the prism Introduction-(Refraction of light through the prism) Ray Optics is a branch of physics that deals with the study of light, its properties, and how it interacts with different materials. It is an important topic…
Scattering of Light The scattering of light is an important part of optics that can help us understand more about our world. Optics is a branch of science that deals with the behavior and properties of light, including its interactions…
