Q

You make the light from a torch to fall on your eyes, will you able to see the object

A

No, we can see the object only when the light is made to fall on the object and the light reflected from the object is viewed by our eyes

Q

Properties of light

A

1 Light is a form of energy
2 light always travels along the straight line
3) light does not need any medium for propagation. it can even travel through vacuum
4) the speed of light in vacuum or air is 3*10^8 m/s
5) light is in the form of waves, it is characterized by a wavelength [lambda (h)] and frequency we which are related by the following equation; c =vh c - velocity of light
6 Different coloured light has different wavelength and frequency
7 among the visible lights, violet light has the lowest wavelength and red light has the highest wavelength
8 when light is incident on the interface between two media it is partly reflected and partly refracted

Q

Refraction of light

A

When a Ray of light travels from one transparent medium into another obliquely , the path of the light undergoes deviation. This deviation of race of light is called refraction.

Refraction take place due to the difference in the velocity of light in different media
The velocity of light is more in a rare medium and less In a denser medium

Q

Second law of refraction

A

The ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence and sign of the angle of refraction is equal to ratio of refractive indices of the two media. This law is also known as snell’s law

Q

Refractive index

A

The ratio of speed of light in vacuum(c) to the speed of light in a medium (v) is defined as refractive index (u) of the medium

Q

Second law of refraction

A

The speed of light in a medium is low if the refractive index of the medium is high and vice versa

When light travels from here then sir medium into a rare medium, the refracted ray is bent away from the normal drawn to the interface

When light travels from a rare medium into denser medium, the refractor ray is Bent toward the normal drawn to the interface

Q

Dispersion of light

A

When a beam of white light or composite lens light is refracted through any transparent media such as glass or water, it is split into its component colour. This phenomenon is called as dispersion of light

15
Q

Why do we get the spectrum when white light is refracted by a transparent medium

A

This is because different coloured light are bent through different angles. that is the angle of refraction is different for different colour

angle of refraction is the smallest for red and highest for violet

Q

Assertion: snell’s law we know that the angle of refraction is determined in term of the refractive index of the medium

A

Hence, the refractive index of the medium is different for different coloured light. This indicates that the refractive index of a medium is dependent on the wavelength of the light

Q

scattering of light

A

When sunlight enters the earth’s atmosphere, the atom and molecule of different gases present in the atmosphere refract the light in all possible directions this is called as scattering of light

In this phenomenon the beam of light is redirected in all directions when it interacts with a particle of medium. The interacting particle of the medium is called scatterer

Q

Elastic scattering

A

If the energy of incident beam of light and scattered beam of light are same then it is called as elastic scattering

20
Q

Inelastic scattering

A

If the energy of them incident beam of light and be the scatter the beam of light or not same then it is called inelastic scattering

Types
Rayleigh scattering
Mei scattering
Tyndall scattering
Raman scattering

21
Q

Rayleigh scattering

A

The scattering of light by the atom or molecules of the gas in the earth atmosphere is known as Rayleigh scattering

22
Q

Rayleigh scattering law

A

Rayleigh’s scattering law states that, the amount of scattering of light is inversely proportional to the 4th power of it wavelength
→ proportional
S →1/h⁴. h- wavelength

According to this law the shorter wavelength colours are scattered much more than the longer wavelength colours

23
Q

Scattering causes the sky to appear in blue colour

A

When sunlight passes through the atmosphere, the blue colour (shorter wavelength) is scattered to a greater extent than the red colour ( longer wavelength)

24
Q

The colour of the sun is red at sunrise and sunset

A

At sunrise and sunset the light rays from the sun have to travel long distance in the atmosphere then at noon. Hence, most of the blue lights are scatter away and only the red light which in get reached scatter reaches us

25
Q

Mei scattering

A

Mie scattering take place when the diameter of the scatterer is similar to or larger than the wavelength of the incident light. It is also an elastic scattering. The amount of catering is independent of wavelength

Mie scattering is caused by pollen, dust, smoke, water droplets, and other particles in the lower portion of the atmosphere

26
Q

Mie scattering Is responsible for the white appearance of the clouds

A

When white light falls on the water drop, all the colours are equally scattered which together form the white light

27
Q

Tyndall scattering or Tyndall effect

A

The scattering of light rays by the colloidal particles in the colloidal solution is called Tyndall scattering or Tyndall effect

28
Q

When a beam of sunlight, enters into a dusty room through a window, then its path becomes visible to us

A

This is because, tiny dust particles present in the air of the room scatter the beam of light

29
Q

Colloid

A

Colloid is a microscopically small substance that is equally dispersed throughout another material
Eg milk, ice cream, muddy water, smoke

30
Q

Raman’s scattering

A

The interaction of light rays with the particles of pure liquid or transparent solids which leads to a change in wavelength or frequency

31
Q

In Raman scattering , when a parallel beam of ________ light passes through a gas or liquid or transparent solid, a part of light rays are scattered

A

Monochromatic or single colored

32
Q

In Raman scattering , when a parallel beam of monochromatic (single colored) light passes through a gas or liquid or transparent solid, a part of light rays are scattered

A

The scattered light contains some additional frequency or wavelength other than that of incident frequency or wavelengths. This is known as raman’s catering or Raman effect

33
Q

The spectral lines having frequency equal to the incident ray frequency is called

A

Rayleigh line

34
Q

Spectral lines which are having frequencies other than the incident ray frequency are called

A

Raman line

The line having frequency lower than the incident frequency is called stoke line
The lines having frequently higher than the incident frequency are called anti stoke lines
