1. Ray Optics and Optical Instruments

\n

Ray optics describes light propagation in terms of rays using geometric rules of reflection and refraction.

\n

\n
• Snell's Law: \(n_{1}\sin(i) = n_{2}\sin(r)\), where \(n\) represents the refractive index of the medium.
\n
• Mirror Formula: \(\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u}\) with focal length \(f\), image distance \(v\), and object distance \(u\).
\n
• Lens Maker's Formula: \(\frac{1}{f} = (n - 1)\bigl(\frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}\bigr)\), where \(R_{1}\) and \(R_{2}\) are radii of curvature.
\n
• Total Internal Reflection (TIR): Occurs when light travels from a denser to a rarer medium at an angle of incidence greater than the critical angle \(\theta_{c}\), where \(\sin(\theta_{c}) = \frac{1}{n}\).
\n
• Prism Formula: Refractive index \(n = \frac{\sin\bigl(\frac{A + D_{m}}{2}\bigr)}{\sin\bigl(\frac{A}{2}\bigr)}\), where \(A\) is the prism angle and \(D_{m}\) is minimum deviation.

2. Wave Optics

\n

Wave optics examines interference, diffraction, and polarization phenomena based on Huygens' principle.

\n

\n
• Young's Double Slit Experiment (YDSE):\n
  \n
  • Fringe width: \(\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}\), where \(\lambda\) is wavelength, \(D\) is screen distance, and \(d\) is slit separation.
  \n
  • Constructive interference condition: Path difference \(\Delta x = n\lambda\).
  \n
  • Destructive interference condition: Path difference \(\Delta x = \bigl(n - \frac{1}{2}\bigr)\lambda\).
  \n
  \n
\n
• Single Slit Diffraction: Central maximum width \(W = \frac{2\lambda D}{a}\), where \(a\) is the aperture width. Minima occur at \(a\sin(\theta) = n\lambda\).
\n
• Brewster's Law (Polarization): \(n = \tan(i_{p})\), where \(i_{p}\) is the polarizing angle.
