joLight can vibrate in one plane (be polarized) through selective absorption or reflection. When light passes from one medium to another of different density, some of the light will be reflected and some will pass through but be bent and slowed down (refracted). The angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence, while the angle of refraction depends on the change in velocity. The index of refraction and relief of a mineral are used to identify it. Index of refraction is a measure of how light slows down when passing into a mineral and is related to its crystal structure. Relief refers to the difference in index of refraction between a mineral and its surroundings, and is used to estimate the index of ref

05 refraction of light
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.

1 reflection and refraction
This document summarizes key concepts about reflection and refraction of light. Reflection occurs when light hits a boundary and bounces off, following the law of reflection where the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Refraction occurs when light crosses boundaries between materials with different optical densities, causing the light to change direction due to a change in speed. Snell's law describes the relationship between angles of incidence and refraction. Total internal reflection can occur when traveling from high to low density materials above the critical angle. Dispersion is the separation of white light into colors due to differing refractive indices.

refraction
Refraction refers to the bending of light when passing from one medium to another. Light bends toward the normal when moving to a denser medium from a less dense one, such as from air into glass. The amount of bending depends on the difference between the densities of the two media. Reflection is the bouncing of light off surfaces, while refraction causes light to bend as it passes through different materials.
Refraction
This presentation gives basic details about refraction and its effects on the environment. The contents involved in this ppt are the refraction defintion in general, refraction in a glass slab.
Lateral shift
Refraction is the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another due to a change in its speed. When light travels from one medium to another at an angle, it bends and experiences lateral shift. Lateral shift is the perpendicular distance between the incident and emergent rays and depends on factors like the thickness and refractive index of the medium, as well as the angle of incidence. Snell's law relates the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction to the refractive indices of the media and can be used to calculate lateral shift experimentally.
Refraction through a glass slab and the refractive index
This document discusses refraction through a rectangular glass slab and the refractive index. It begins by defining refraction as the change in direction of a wave when passing from one medium to another. It then explains Snell's law, which relates the angles of incidence and refraction. The refractive index is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a medium. Examples of refraction in everyday life are given, as well as the history and uses of the refractive index. An experiment is described to measure the angles of incidence, refraction, and emergence using a glass slab.
Refraction of Light
1. Refraction is the bending of light when passing from one medium to another. It occurs because the speed of light changes depending on the medium.
2. Convex lenses are thicker in the middle and cause light rays to converge, resulting in a real, inverted, and magnified image. Concave lenses are thinner in the middle and cause light rays to diverge, resulting in a virtual, upright, and minified image.
3. The focal length of a lens is the distance between the focal point and the center of the lens. Lens properties like image type, orientation, size, and position depend on the location of the object relative to the focal points and center of the lens.
Reflection and Refraction
Reflection and refraction are changes in the direction of a wave at an interface between two media. Reflection occurs when a wave returns to its original medium at the interface, with the angle of the reflected wave being equal to the angle of the incident wave. Refraction occurs when a wave bends as it passes from one medium to another where its speed changes, with the angle of refraction determined by Snell's law. Examples of reflection and refraction include the bending of light, sound, and water waves at boundaries between different materials or densities.
Light presentation
Light rays change direction when moving between different transparent media due to refraction. Refraction occurs because light slows down at different speeds in various materials. Common applications of refraction include convex and concave lenses which bend light to magnify or diminish objects, and glass prisms which refract white light into a visible spectrum.
slm on Refraction class 8th
Refraction is the bending of light when passing from one medium to another. It occurs because the speed of light decreases in denser mediums. This causes light rays to bend when crossing boundaries between different transparent materials. Snell's law describes the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction. Total internal reflection occurs when light travels from a denser to rarer medium at an angle above the critical angle, causing the light to be totally reflected at the boundary rather than refracted. A prism uses refraction to disperse white light into a spectrum of colors due to different wavelengths bending by different amounts.
Chapter-6 Geol 2031 Optical Mineralogy.pptx
This document provides an overview of optical mineralogy and outlines topics to be covered in the chapter, including light properties, examining crystals under plane-polarized light and crossed polars, and refractive index determination. Key concepts are isotropic and anisotropic crystals, uniaxial and biaxial indicators, and examining crystals under convergent light. Objectives are to understand light properties and examination of minerals under different light conditions. Key examination techniques are described for isotropic, uniaxial, and biaxial crystals.
Birefringence
Birefringence is the phenomenon of double refraction that occurs when light passes through anisotropic crystals. Anisotropic crystals have non-equivalent crystallographic axes and therefore interact with light differently depending on the crystal's orientation. This causes light to refract into two rays with perpendicular vibration directions traveling at different velocities, known as ordinary and extraordinary rays. Crystals are classified as either isotropic, where all axes interact with light the same, or anisotropic. Common anisotropic crystals that exhibit birefringence include quartz, calcite, and tourmaline.

This document discusses isotropic and anisotropic minerals and the optical phenomenon of double refraction. It begins by explaining that anisotropic crystals split light into two polarized rays with different velocities and refractive indices, called the ordinary and extraordinary rays. Double refraction, where two images are seen, is characteristic of anisotropic minerals like calcite. Isotropic minerals like those in the cubic crystal system do not exhibit double refraction and appear black under crossed polarized light. The document provides examples and explanations of these optical properties.
Rupendra polarization ppt (7 jan2010)2007
This document discusses polarization of light. There are three types of polarized light: plane polarized light, circularly polarized light, and elliptically polarized light. Plane polarized light has vibrations confined to a definite plane. Circularly polarized light results from the superposition of two plane polarized light waves with a phase difference of π/2, giving a constant magnitude vector that varies in orientation. Elliptically polarized light results from two plane polarized waves with different amplitudes and a phase difference of π/2, giving a varying magnitude and orientation vector. Polarized light can be produced through reflection, refraction, selective absorption, scattering, and double refraction. Polarizers, quarter wave plates, and half wave plates are used
POLARIZATION.pptx
Polarization refers to the orientation of oscillations in light waves. Light can be linearly polarized, circularly polarized, or elliptically polarized depending on the orientation. Polarization occurs through reflection, refraction, and double refraction in anisotropic materials. Polarizers and waveplates can be used to alter the polarization state. Some materials exhibit optical activity and can rotate the plane of polarized light through either dextrorotation or levorotation. Specific rotation is a measure of the degree of optical activity for a substance.

Polarization
Polarization is a property of transverse waves where the oscillations occur in one direction rather than randomly in all directions perpendicular to the propagation direction. Unpolarized waves have oscillations in any direction, while linearly polarized waves oscillate in only one direction. Polarization of electromagnetic waves is defined by the electric field. Polarization can occur through selective absorption by materials that preferentially absorb certain oscillation directions, such as Polaroid which absorbs oscillations parallel to its long molecular chains. Many applications rely on polarization, including Polaroid sunglasses, LCD displays, and antennas.

The document discusses several optical techniques for determining molecular structure, including polarized light, absorption of polarized light, optical rotatory dispersion, hypochromism, circular dichroism, and vibrational circular dichroism. Polarized light waves have vibrations that occur in a single plane. Optical rotatory dispersion measures the variation in optical rotation with wavelength change and can be used to identify absorption bands. Circular dichroism measures the difference in absorption of left and right circularly polarized light and can provide information about protein and nucleic acid structure. Vibrational circular dichroism extends this technique to the infrared and near infrared to allow determination of absolute configurations of small molecules.POLARIZATION OF LIGHT - BIREFRINGENCE AND HUYGEN'S THEORY OF DOUBLE REFRACTION
Huygen's theory of double refraction explains the phenomenon of birefringence in crystals like calcite. According to the theory:
- Each point in a birefringent crystal produces two types of wavefronts - a spherical wavefront for the ordinary ray and an ellipsoidal wavefront for the extraordinary ray.
- The shape of the wavefronts depends on whether the crystal is negative or positive. In negative crystals like calcite, the extraordinary wavefront is outside the ordinary wavefront, while in positive crystals it is inside.
- Huygen's principle treats each point on a wavefront as a secondary source of spherical wavelets, and the envelope of these wavelets makes up the

ORD CD AMU notes.pdf
Optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) measures the change in optical rotation of a substance with changing wavelength of light. ORD can be used to determine the absolute configuration of chiral molecules like metal complexes. When plane-polarized light passes through a chiral substance, the left and right circularly polarized components propagate at different speeds, leading to optical rotation. Measuring optical rotation as a function of wavelength is ORD spectroscopy. The Cotton effect occurs near absorption bands, where peaks and troughs in the ORD curve depend on whether absorption first increases or decreases with wavelength. Applications of ORD and circular dichroism include determining structures of amino acids, proteins, steroids and antibiotics.
polarization of light
Polarized light occurs when light vibrates in a single plane. Unpolarized light vibrates in multiple planes. Polarized light can be created through reflection, selective absorption using polarizing materials, and double refraction using crystals like calcite. Nicol prisms and waveplates are optical devices that use crystals like calcite to produce polarized light by selectively transmitting one vibration plane over another or changing the phase of vibration planes. Optical activity describes how chiral molecules rotate the plane of polarized light passing through them due to interactions between light and molecules.

Amphiboles
The amphiboles are a group of chain silicate minerals with some substitution of F and Cl for OH. They have a general formula of (W,X,Y)7-8(Z4O10)2(OH)2 where W represents large cations like Ca and Na, X represents smaller cations like Mg and Fe2+, Y represents Fe3+, Ti, and Al, and Z represents Si and Al. Amphiboles have elongate prismatic crystals and two prismatic cleavages that meet at 124 degrees, whereas pyroxenes have squat prisms and cleavages that meet at 88 degrees. Common amphiboles include hornblende, tremolite, actinolite

Copy of nature and behaviour of light
Light can vibrate in one plane (be polarized) through selective absorption or reflection. When light passes from one medium to another of different density, some of the light will be reflected and some will pass through but be bent and slowed down (refracted). The angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence, while the angle of refraction depends on the change in velocity.
The index of refraction and relief of minerals can be used to identify them. Index of refraction refers to how much light is refracted when passing from one substance to another. It varies based on crystallographic orientation in anisotropic minerals. Relief and birefringence are properties related to the index of refraction.
Twinning
Twinning occurs when two crystals of the same substance grow together in a crystallographically controlled manner. There are several types of twinning defined by the twinning element, which can be a twin plane, twin axis, or twin center. Twinning is common across different crystal systems, with typical twinning elements being low index crystal planes or directions. Characteristic twinning patterns can be used to identify minerals under the microscope.
Space lattices
Crystals have basic building blocks called unit cells that are arranged in a periodic pattern described by a lattice. The unit cells contain motif groups of atoms associated with each lattice point. There are 14 possible types of space lattices belonging to 7 crystal systems characterized by distinct unit cell shapes and symmetries. The crystal structure is defined by the space lattice and the motif or basis group of atoms.
Rhombohedron
The document summarizes different crystallographic forms in the trigonal and tetragonal crystal systems. It describes rhombohedrons as solids bounded by six rhomb-shaped faces, and scalenohedrons as solids bounded by 8 or 12 scalene triangle faces. It also discusses sphenoids as four-faced solids resembling tetrahedrons but with isosceles triangle faces, and tetragonal scalenohedrons bounded by eight similar scalene triangles.
Presentation1
Crystals are defined as a 3D periodic arrangement of atoms in space, known as a lattice, with a motif or basis of atoms associated with each lattice point. A lattice is a 3D periodic arrangement of points without the atoms. Together, the lattice and motif define the crystal structure. There are 14 possible lattice arrangements, known as Bravais lattices, which are categorized into 7 crystal systems based on their symmetry properties. The lattice and basis completely specify the crystal structure.
Forms of crystals.
This document describes several crystal classes and forms. It discusses:
1) The pyritahedral class which includes forms like the pyritahedron and diploid bounded by 12 or 24 faces respectively.
2) The tetrahedral class including forms like the tetrahedron, deltoid dodecahedron, trigonal tristetrahedron, and hextetrahedron bounded by 4, 12, 12, and 24 faces.
3) Prism forms in the tetragonal, hexagonal, and orthorhombic crystal systems defined by their faces being parallel to the c-axis including first, second, and third order prisms.

Nature and behaviour of light
Light can vibrate in one plane (be polarized) through selective absorption or reflection. When light passes from one medium to another of different density, some of the light will be reflected and some will pass through but be bent and slowed down (refracted). The angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence, while the angle of refraction depends on the change in velocity. Minerals can be characterized by their index of refraction (n), which is a measure of how much light is bent when passing into the mineral. It determines properties like relief and birefringence. Some minerals like calcite have the property of double refraction, where a single ray of light enters and splits into two rays.
Feldspar
Feldspar is the most abundant mineral group found in igneous and metamorphic rocks. It has a continuous three-dimensional network structure of silicon-oxygen and aluminum-oxygen tetrahedra with positively charged sodium, potassium, calcium, or barium ions situated between. The two most common feldspar types are orthoclase (potassium feldspar) and plagioclase (sodium-calcium feldspar). Plagioclase can form as a solid solution or break down into intergrowths of sodic and potassic lamellae called perthites. Feldspars are found in a wide range of igneous and metamorphic rocks depending on their
Silica
Quartz is one of the most abundant minerals and is composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2). It has a complex crystal structure and exists in several polymorphs including alpha-quartz, beta-quartz, tridymite, cristobalite, coesite, and stishovite. The stability of these polymorphs depends on temperature and pressure conditions. Cryptocrystalline varieties of quartz include chalcedony, agate, jasper, chert, and flint. Macrocrystalline varieties include rock crystal, milky quartz, amethyst, rose quartz, citrine, and smoky quartz.
Pyroxene
The document discusses the pyroxene group of minerals. Pyroxenes have a single chain crystal structure and are ionosilicates containing elements like calcium, sodium, magnesium, iron, and aluminum. They can be orthorhombic or monoclinic in crystal form. The general chemical formula of pyroxenes is (W,X,Y)2Z2O6, where W, X, Y, and Z can be elements like calcium, magnesium, iron, aluminum, sodium, lithium, silicon, and more. Some common pyroxenes mentioned include enstatite, hypersthene, diopside, hedenbergite, augite, and pigeonite.
Mica group
This document summarizes several types of phyllosilicate minerals in the mica group, including their chemical formulas, crystal structures, and common occurrences. Muscovite, biotite, and phlogopite are some of the most common micas. They have layered structures and perfect basal cleavage. Muscovite is widely used in electrical and insulation applications due to its properties. The document also describes lepidolite and its identification by lithium content and lilac color.
Feldspathoids
Feldspathoids are silicate minerals that are chemically similar to feldspars but deficient in silica. They form in place of feldspars when magma lacks sufficient silica. Common feldspathoids include leucite, nepheline, sodalite, cancrinite, and analcime. Some feldspathoids contain unusual anions like chloride, carbonate, sulfate, or sulfide. Leucite is characteristic of potassium-rich volcanic rocks. Nepheline occurs in both plutonic and volcanic alkaline, silica-poor rocks. Sodalite forms blue veinlets and masses and is found in nepheline syenites and phonolites.
