Properties of light
-Light is a form of energy.
-Light always travels along a straight line.
-Light travels at a speed of 3 x 10^8m/s in a vacuum
-Light can be reflected/refracted
Reflection of light
-Bounces off light rays of a surface
-Laws of reflection of light
~Incident ray, reflected ray and normal must lie on the same plane
~Angle of incidence=Angle of reflection
Characteristics of image formed in a plane mirror
Virtual
Same size as object
Laterally inverted
Upright
Same distance as the object from the mirror
Refraction
-Refraction is the change in direction of the light ray passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed
-Laws of refraction
~Incident ray, reflected ray and normal must lie on the same plane
~Sin i/Sin r = Formula of refractive index
