Assignment # 1: 2. Differentiate Between A Converging and A Diverging Beam With

The document summarizes key concepts related to light and optics, including: 1) The criteria of visibility is light reflecting off an object and into our eyes. 2) A converging beam meets at a point while a diverging beam does not, with converging rays following the same path and diverging rays spreading along different paths. 3) Reflection occurs when light bounces off a medium's surface, while refraction is when light changes direction passing through a medium from one to another, with the angle of incidence not equaling the angle of reflection.

Assignment # 1

1. What is the criterion of visibility?


Light falls on an object and reflects back to our eyes, thus
making the object visible
2. Differentiate between a converging and a diverging beam with
examples.

1)Convergent beam meets at a point whereas Divergent beam do


not meet at a point.
2)In Convergent beam rays does not spread and follow a same
path. But in Divergent beam the rays spreads and follow different
paths

3. Differentiate between reflection and refraction of light.


Difference between Reflection and Refraction
Reflection Refraction
This phenomenon usually occurs in mirrors. This phenomenon usually occurs in Lenses.
Reflection can simply be defined as the Refraction can be defined as the process of shift of
reflection of light when it strikes the medium light when it passes through a medium leading to the
on a plane. bending of light.
The light entering the medium returns back The light entering the medium travels from one
in the same direction. medium to another.
Considering the light waves, they bounce The light waves pass through the surface while
from the plane and change direction. simultaneously change from medium to medium.
The angle of incidence of the light is equal The angle of incidence is not equal to the angle of
to the angle of reflection. reflection.

4. Complete the following figures.


5. Differentiate between a real and a
virtual image.
Difference Between Real Image and Virtual Image
Real Image Virtual Image
The image is due to reflection or refraction, when The image produced when the light
the light arises from an object and converges to a arising from an object appears to strike a
certain point certain point
The real image can be captured on screen as it It cannot be captured on a screen as it is
is the result of actual intersection of ray of light the imaginary intersection of ray of light
The images are inverted The images are erect
Converging lens are used to produce the image Diverging lens are used to produce the
image
Concave mirror is used to produce the image A plane mirror or convex mirror is used
to produce the image
