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.
5. aμm = ca / cm and aμm = λa / λm

(b)
sin i
aμb =
sin r
sin r
bμa =
sin i
aμb x bμa = 1 or aμb = 1 / bμa
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.

Special Case:
If i1 is very small, then r1 is also very small.
i.e. sin(i1 – r1) = i1 – r1 and cos r1 = 1
y = t (i1 – r1) or y = t i1(1 – 1 /aμb)

Apparent Shift:
Apparent shift = hr - ha = hr – (hr / μ)
= hr [ 1 - 1/μ]
TIPS:
1. If the observer is in rarer medium and the object is in denser medium then
ha < hr. (To a bird, the fish appears to be nearer than actual depth.)
2. If the observer is in denser medium and the object is in rarer medium then
ha > hr. (To a fish, the bird appears to be farther than actual height.)

Total Internal Reflection:
Total Internal Reflection (TIR) is the phenomenon of complete reflection of
light back into the same medium for angles of incidence greater than the
critical angle of that medium.

Conditions for TIR:
1. The incident ray must be in optically denser medium.
2. The angle of incidence in the denser medium must be greater than the
critical angle for the pair of media in contact.
Relation between Critical Angle and Refractive Index:
Critical angle is the angle of incidence in the denser medium for which the
angle of refraction in the rarer medium is 90°.

Spherical Refracting Surfaces:
A spherical refracting surface is a part of a sphere of refracting material.
A refracting surface which is convex towards the rarer medium is called
convex refracting surface.
A refracting surface which is concave towards the rarer medium is
called concave refracting surface.

Assumptions:
1. Object is the point object lying on the principal axis.
2. The incident and the refracted rays make small angles with the principal
axis.
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.

1. Expression for ‘object in rarer medium’ is same for whether it is real or
virtual image or convex or concave surface.
2. Expression for ‘object in denser medium’ is same for whether it is real or

3. However the values of u, v, R, etc. must be taken with proper sign

  • 9. Spherical Refracting Surfaces: A spherical refracting surface is a part of a sphere of refracting material. A refracting surface which is convex towards the rarer medium is called convex refracting surface. A refracting surface which is concave towards the rarer medium is called concave refracting surface. •• C CP P R R A B AB APCB – Principal Axis C – Centre of Curvature P – Pole R – Radius of Curvature •• Denser MediumDenser Medium Rarer MediumRarer Medium
  • 10. Assumptions: 1. Object is the point object lying on the principal axis. 2. The incident and the refracted rays make small angles with the principal axis. 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.
