Examples of reflection ray diagrams covered in the video.

The video below shows a typical lens experiment. (reference to O-Level SciPhy 2015). I will briefly go through the set-up, main steps and...

Answer: Option B

Drawing ray diagrams for converging lens come in many forms. But the basic concepts needed are the 3 rays (which have rules to follow) to...

Which of the following light rays behaves correctly when it passes through the converging lens? Solutions: Option C Recall these basic...

Overview of Total Internal Reflection (TIR) Explanation of the various stages:

A thin convex lens is placed on a plane mirror and an object pin is then moved along the axis of the lens until an image is seen to...

Light and sound are both waves. So both carry energy from one place to another. Light , which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum,...

To do similar questions, it is important to know the 3 rays which have rules to follow in order to locate the image. Look through the...
