This document discusses the refraction of light. It defines refraction as the change in direction of light when passing from one medium to another. It states that light bends away from the normal when traveling to a less dense medium, and toward the normal when traveling to a denser medium. Snell's law is introduced, which states that the ratio of sines of the angle of incidence and refraction is a constant. Refractive index is defined as the ratio of speed of light in a vacuum to that in a medium. Lens equations and image formation by convex and concave lenses are briefly covered.

The pupillary light reflex controls the diameter of the pupil in response to light intensity. When light enters one eye, both pupils constrict equally. Greater light intensity causes constriction while lower intensity causes dilation. The iris contains sphincter and dilator muscles involved in constriction and dilation respectively. There are direct and consensual reflex pathways. The parasympathetic pathway causes miosis upon light stimulation while the sympathetic pathway causes mydriasis in low light, each involving neural pathways from the retina to brainstem and spinal cord.
Binocular telescopes, also known as binoculars, are two identical or mirror-symmetrical telescopes mounted side-by-side that allow the viewer to use both eyes for binocular vision of distant objects. They were originally developed in the 17th century based on Galileo's design of a convex objective lens and concave eyepiece lens. Later models incorporated a Porro prism design to improve image quality and magnification or a Z-shape configuration to erect the image in line with the eye. Binoculars are used for applications like general hand-held viewing, military ship observation, and astronomy.
This document provides an introduction to photometry and radiometry, which are the sciences of measuring light. It defines key concepts including:
- Radiant energy, which is the total amount of electromagnetic energy.
- Radiant flux (radiant power), which is the time rate of flow of radiant energy and is measured in watts.
- Radiant flux density, which is the radiant flux per unit area. When the flux is arriving at a surface it is called irradiance, and when leaving a surface it is called radiant exitance.
- Radiance, which is the amount of radiant flux in an elemental cone and provides a measure of the apparent brightness of a surface

Refraction is the bending of light when passing from one medium to another. It occurs because the speed of light is decreased in denser mediums, causing the light's path to bend toward the normal. Snell's law describes the mathematical relationship between the angle of incidence and angle of refraction, stating that for two mediums, the ratio of sines of the incidence and refraction angles is equal to the ratio of the indexes of refraction. The index of refraction is a number that represents how much a medium slows light down relative to a vacuum.
This document summarizes an experiment on interference fringes using a sodium lamp as a monochromatic light source. Rays from the source were reflected through a plano convex lens and formed circular interference patterns known as Newton's rings on the glass surface. The width of the fringes could be measured using a traveling microscope and used to calculate the wavelength of light from the sodium lamp through a formula accounting for the air gap between the lens and glass surface. The circular fringes resulted from the plano-convex lens shaping the light waves into concentric rings.
Spectrometers are instruments that identify substances by analyzing the wavelengths of light they absorb or emit. They work by dispersing light into a spectrum of component wavelengths using a prism or diffraction grating. Each element has a unique spectral pattern that can be used to identify it. Sir Isaac Newton invented an early spectrometer in the 1600s, and later scientists like Kirchhoff and Rydberg made advances that allowed spectrometers to accurately measure atomic structures and energy levels. Modern spectrometers are used across many fields including astronomy, archaeology, chemistry, and medicine to analyze material compositions and properties.
This document discusses sound waves, power, intensity, and how they relate to distance from a sound source. It provides equations for power and intensity of sound waves. Power is the rate at which energy is delivered, while intensity is the power delivered per unit area. Intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from an isotropic (uniformly radiating) source. The document includes a sample problem asking how the amplitude of sound waves observed by a person would change if the distance from the speaker doubled. The solution is that the amplitude would halve, since intensity, and thus amplitude, is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
Light refracts when passing from one medium to another with a different density. When light travels from a less dense to a more dense medium, it bends toward the normal, and when traveling from more dense to less dense, it bends away from the normal. The refractive index is a ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed in a particular medium, and is represented by the Greek letter μ. Snell's law describes the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction.
Coherent light refers to light rays that travel closely packed in straight parallel lines, like in a sunbeam. Examples of coherent light include lasers, which emit visible light beams that diverge very little over long distances. Automobile headlights and spotlights also emit coherent light by directing rays into a narrow, well-defined beam. Intense direct sunlight passing through a small opening also forms a coherent light beam. Coherent light waves are "in phase" with one another, meaning the crests and troughs of each wave are aligned.
This document provides an overview of the optics of the human eye. It describes the main components of the eye, including the cornea, lens, iris, retina, and their functions. It explains how light enters the eye and is focused onto the retina through refraction by the cornea and lens. The document also defines and differentiates several common vision conditions, such as myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism. Accommodation through changing the shape of the lens allows the eye to focus on objects at different distances.

This document discusses key concepts in photometry and illumination. It defines luminous flux, luminous intensity, illuminance, and luminance. It explains that luminous flux is a measure of total light power, luminous intensity measures the directionality of light, illuminance is the amount of light falling on a surface, and luminance measures the brightness of a surface. It also discusses the inverse square law and cosine law governing illuminance and how filters can selectively transmit wavelengths of light.
This document discusses prisms, their properties, and uses in optometry. It defines key prism terminology like apex, base, axis, and apical angle. It explains how prisms refract light and cause deviation according to Snell's law. Prisms are used clinically for diagnosing and managing eye alignment conditions like esotropia. They help measure deviation angles and correct angles of deviation. Prisms are also used in ophthalmic instruments like slit lamps and microscopes due to their light reflecting properties.
When light passes through a plane parallel glass plate, the emergent ray is parallel to the incident ray but displaced from it. Snell's law states that when light travels from air into glass, it bends toward the normal line, with the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction related by the ratio of the refractive indices. In a sample problem, a ray at 30 degrees in air enters glass (n=1.52) and emerges at angle A of 19.2 degrees, bending the ray to angle B of 30 degrees when it exits back into the air.
Vision occurs through a process called phototransduction where light is converted to nerve impulses in the retina. In photoreceptors like rods and cones, light causes changes in the visual pigment rhodopsin which initiates a biochemical cascade leading to hyperpolarization and decreased neurotransmitter release. Ganglion cell signals are transmitted to the brain where visual perception involves the integration of light sense, form sense, contrast sense and color sense provided by trichromatic and opponent process theories of color vision.
This PPT gives an elementary idea about dispersion. The dispersion through prism is discussed in some details & combination of prisms are made to make either dispersion or deviation to be equal to zero.

It discusses how light rays reflect off mirrors according to the law of reflection, forming real images with plane mirrors and virtual images with spherical mirrors, whether concave or convex. Concave mirrors bring parallel rays to a focus at their focal point, while convex mirrors cause parallel rays to appear to diverge from a virtual focal point.
