Chapter 9: Light – Reflection and Refraction
Mirror formula, (f is focal length, u is image distance and u is object distance)
Angle of incidence = angle of reflection
Magnification [mirror] = -v/u = height of image/ height of object
Lens formula 1/v - 1/u = 1/f
Magnification [mirror] = +v/u = height of image/ height of object
Power of a lens, P = 1/f
Absolute refractive index = n = c/v [c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the speed of light in
medium]
Snell’s formula = n = sin i/ sin r
Combine the power of two or more lenses, P[final] = P(1) + P (2) + P(n)
Chapter 10: Human eye and the colourful world
Corrective lens for myopia, f = -x and P = 1/f = 1/-x
Let a person can see clearly up to ‘x’
(x and f are IN METRES)
Corrective lens for hypermetropia,
P = 1/f = 4 – 1/y
y = minimum distance at which a
person can see clearly
(y and f are IN METRES)
Chapter 11: Electricity
I = Q/t
V = IR, V = W/Q
R = V/I, R = ρl / A ( l = length, A = Area )
P = VI, P = VV/ R, P = IIR
H = IIRT, H = VIt
Series, Req = R1 + R2 + R3 +….
Parallel, 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +….
