1. This document covers key concepts in ray optics including refraction through a prism, dispersion, compound microscopes, astronomical telescopes, and resolving power. It defines terms like refractive index, angle of deviation, angular dispersion, and dispersive power.
2. Refraction through a prism is analyzed using Snell's law. The angle of deviation depends on the angle of incidence and reaches a minimum value. Prism dispersion is explained by wavelengths refracting at different angles according to their frequency.
3. Compound microscopes use two converging lenses, an objective and eyepiece, to magnify images. Angular magnification is calculated using lens equations and depends on focal lengths and distances. Telescopes
