Refraction of Light:
Refraction is the phenomenon of change in the path of light as it travels
from one medium to another (when the ray of light is incident obliquely).
It can also be defined as the phenomenon of change in speed of
light from one medium to another.

Laws of Refraction:
I Law: The incident ray, the normal to
the refracting surface at the point of
incidence and the refracted ray all lie in
the same plane.
II Law: For a given pair of media and for
light of a given wavelength, the ratio of
the sine of the angle of incidence to the
sine of the angle of refraction is a
constant. (Snell’s Law)
μ =
sin i
sin r
(The constant μ is called refractive index of the medium,
i is the angle of incidence and r is the angle of refraction.)
μ
TIPS:
1. μ of optically rarer medium is lower and that of a denser medium is
higher.
2. μ of denser medium w.r.t. rarer medium is more than 1 and that of rarer
medium w.r.t. denser medium is less than 1. (μair
= μvacuum
= 1)
3. In refraction, the velocity and wavelength of light change.
4. In refraction, the frequency and phase of light do not change.

If a ray of light, after suffering any number of
reflections and/or refractions has its path
reversed at any stage, it travels back to the
source along the same path in the opposite
direction.
A natural consequence of the principle of reversibility is that the image and object
positions can be interchanged. These positions are called conjugate positions.

Conditions for TIR:

3. The aperture (diameter of the curved surface) is small.
New Cartesian Sign Conventions:
1. The incident ray is taken from left to right.
2. All the distances are measured from the pole of the refracting surface.
3. The distances measured along the direction of the incident ray are
taken positive and against the incident ray are taken negative.
4. The vertical distances measured from principal axis in the upward
direction are taken positive and in the downward direction are taken
negative.

Expression for ‘object in denser medium’ is same for whether it is real or virtual image or convex or concave surface. 3. However the values of u, v, R, etc. must be taken with proper sign conventions while solving the numerical problems. 4. The refractive indices μ1 and μ2 get interchanged in the expressions. μ2 - μ1 R μ1 μ2 - u + v = μ1 - μ2 R μ2 μ1 - u + v =
