An image is a reproduction of an object via light that can either be real, forming on a surface, or virtual, requiring an observer. Real images are produced by concave mirrors and converging lenses, whereas virtual images are produced by flat mirrors. A real image occurs where rays converge and a virtual image where rays appear to converge. Concave mirrors form real images when the object is outside the focal point and virtual images when inside the focal point. Lenses also form real or virtual images depending on if the object is outside or inside the focal point. Diffraction occurs when light encounters an obstacle comparable in size to its wavelength, spreading the waves and creating interference patterns like Newton's rings.
1. Reflection is the bouncing back of light from a smooth surface, while refraction is the bending of light when passing from one medium to another.
2. Plane mirrors reflect light such that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, forming virtual, upright images behind the mirror. Spherical mirrors like concave and convex mirrors can form real or virtual images depending on the position of the object.
3. Refraction follows Snell's law where the ratio of sines of the angle of incidence and refraction is a constant depending on the refractive indices of the two media. Lenses use refraction to form real images of objects.
1. Mirrors and lenses can reflect and refract light to form real or virtual images. Reflection follows the law that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, while refraction follows Snell's law.
2. Concave mirrors form real images of objects placed beyond the focal point, while convex mirrors always form virtual images. Lenses follow similar rules depending on whether they are converging or diverging.
3. The mirror and thin lens equations relate the focal length, object and image distances, and magnification. Sign conventions define quantities as positive or negative depending on location relative to the optical element.

Light travels in a straight line. Objects can be transparent, translucent, or opaque depending on how much light they allow to pass through. Reflection is when light bounces off a surface like a mirror. The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Images formed by plane mirrors are virtual, erect, and laterally inverted. Spherical mirrors can be concave or convex. Concave mirrors form magnified or diminished real/virtual images depending on the position of the object. Convex mirrors always form diminished virtual images. Lenses can be converging or diverging, and form different types of real or virtual images based on the position of the object. White light is made up of the visible light spectrum, which can
Mirrors and lenses reflect and refract light to form real or virtual images. Reflection off flat surfaces follows the law that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Concave mirrors can form real or virtual images depending on the position of the object. Convex lenses diverge light rays to form reduced virtual images, while concave lenses converge light to form real images that can be magnified or reduced. The eye focuses light using a convex lens, and conditions like nearsightedness and farsightedness occur when the eye is too long or short.
The document discusses the laws of reflection and image formation using spherical mirrors. It defines key terms like normal, angle of incidence, angle of reflection, focal length, pole, radius of curvature, etc. Rules for image formation using concave and convex mirrors are explained along with diagrams. Characteristics of the image like nature, position and size are defined based on the position of the object in front of the concave mirror. Sign convention for spherical mirrors is also explained. Examples of questions from NCERT on image formation and characteristics are summarized.
This document discusses the reflection of light by plane mirrors. It begins by defining key terms like normal, angle of incidence, and angle of reflection. It then states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. It describes the nature of light and how it travels in straight lines. It discusses light rays and beams of light. It explains what happens when light strikes the boundary between different mediums, specifically that it undergoes reflection. It defines concepts like the normal, incident ray, and reflected ray. It states the two laws of reflection. It provides examples demonstrating how to calculate angles of incidence and reflection using diagrams of light reflecting off mirrors. It discusses the formation of virtual images by plane mirrors and their key properties.
Light propagates in straight lines and can be reflected, refracted, and diffracted when interacting with matter. Reflection occurs when light hits a smooth surface and bounces back into the same medium at the same angle. Regular reflection occurs from plane mirrors where the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Spherical mirrors can be concave or convex. Concave mirrors form real, inverted images, while convex mirrors form virtual, upright images. The mirror equation relates the focal length and distances of the object and image.
1. Mirrors and lenses bend light through reflection and refraction. Reflection follows the law that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, while refraction depends on the difference in refractive indices between materials.
2. Mirrors form either real or virtual images depending on whether the light rays actually converge. Lenses also form different image types based on the position of the object relative to the focal point.
3. The eye functions like a lens, and nearsightedness and farsightedness occur when the eyeball is too long or short, resulting in the image focusing in front of or behind the retina. Corrective lenses can address these issues.
1. Mirrors and lenses reflect and refract light in predictable ways based on their shape and the refractive indices of materials. Flat mirrors follow the law of reflection where the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
2. Mirrors can form real or virtual images depending on whether the light rays actually converge or only appear to converge. Concave mirrors can form images that are upright or inverted depending on the position of the object.
3. Lenses, both convex and concave, bring light rays together or spread them apart to form real or virtual images based on the position of the object relative to the focal point. The eye lens focuses light onto the retina to enable vision.

Plane mirrors form virtual images that are laterally inverted and the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it. Curved mirrors can be either concave or convex. Concave mirrors produce real or virtual images depending on the position of the object, while convex mirrors only produce virtual images. Lenses can be either converging or diverging. Converging lenses are thicker in the middle and can form real or virtual images, while diverging lenses are thicker on the edges and always form virtual images.

Thermionic emission sources like lanthanum hexaboride crystals and field emission sources like tungsten needles are commonly used in transmission electron microscopes. Field emission sources provide higher brightness and better coherence but require ultra-high vacuum. The electron gun design controls the electron beam through electrostatic lenses. Operating the source near saturation and at the highest possible voltage generally provides the best image quality without damaging specimens.

Ion beam lithography is a promising technique for nanofabrication beyond optical lithography limits. It uses focused ion beams which are not diffraction limited and do not have proximity effects. Key advantages include high resolution direct writing. Interactions between ions and solids, such as sputtering and assisted etching, enable new capabilities. Multibeam systems may enable ion dot matrix printing for next-generation lithography. However, challenges remain in commercial adoption given the entrenched optical lithography industry.

Optimization of Cumulative Energy, Exergy Consumption and Environmental Life ...J. Agricultural Machinery
油
Optimal use of resources, including energy, is one of the most important principles in modern and sustainable agricultural systems. Exergy analysis and life cycle assessment were used to study the efficient use of inputs, energy consumption reduction, and various environmental effects in the corn production system in Lorestan province, Iran. The required data were collected from farmers in Lorestan province using random sampling. The Cobb-Douglas equation and data envelopment analysis were utilized for modeling and optimizing cumulative energy and exergy consumption (CEnC and CExC) and devising strategies to mitigate the environmental impacts of corn production. The Cobb-Douglas equation results revealed that electricity, diesel fuel, and N-fertilizer were the major contributors to CExC in the corn production system. According to the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) results, the average efficiency of all farms in terms of CExC was 94.7% in the CCR model and 97.8% in the BCC model. Furthermore, the results indicated that there was excessive consumption of inputs, particularly potassium and phosphate fertilizers. By adopting more suitable methods based on DEA of efficient farmers, it was possible to save 6.47, 10.42, 7.40, 13.32, 31.29, 3.25, and 6.78% in the exergy consumption of diesel fuel, electricity, machinery, chemical fertilizers, biocides, seeds, and irrigation, respectively.

With detailed explanations, graphs, charts, and practical applications, this presentation serves as a valuable resource for students, civil engineers, and researchers in the field of geotechnical engineering.
2. images
An image is a reproduction of an object via light.
If the image can form on a surface, it is a real
image. Examples of real images include the image seen on
a cinema screen. Real images can be produced by concave
mirrors and converging lenses.
It can exist even if no observer is present. If the
image requires the visual system of an observer,
it is a virtual image. A simple example is a flat mirror
A real image occurs where rays converge, whereas a
virtual image occurs where rays only appear to
converge.
7. Concave Mirror
When the object is located so that the center of curvature lies
between the object and a concave mirror surface, the image is real,
inverted, and reduced in size.
8. Concave Mirror
When the object is located between the focal point and a concave
mirror surface, the image is virtual, upright, and enlarged.
9. When the object is in front of a convex mirror, the image is
virtual, upright, and reduced in size
10. Spherical Mirror Equation
The equation for image formation by rays
near the optic axis (paraxial rays) of a
mirror has the same form as the thin lens
equation:
From the geometry of the spherical mirror,
note that the focal length is half the radius
of curvature:
1 1 1
O f i
1
f
r
11. As in the case of lenses, the cartesian sign
convention is used here, and that is the
origin of the negative sign above. The
radius r for a concave mirror is a negative
quantity (going left from the surface), and
this gives a positive focal length, implying
convergence.
12. Exercise
The M <1; the image is smaller than the object, and the ve sign for M tells us that the
image is inverted. Because q is positive, the image is located on the front side of the
mirror and is real.
The object is positioned at the focal point
of a mirror are reflected so that the image
is formed at an infinite distance from the
mirror;
13. The image is twice as large as the object, and the positive
sign for M indicates that the image is upright
14. Six possible ways in which an image
can be formed by refraction through a
spherical surface of radius r and
center of curvature C. The surface
separates a medium with index of
refraction n1 from a medium with
index of refraction n2.
The point object O is always in the
medium with n1 to the left of the
surface. The material with the lesser
index of refraction is unshaded
Real images are formed in (a) and
(b); virtual images are formed in the
other four situations.
Solve Example 34.2
16. Ray diagram of Lens
The image formed by a single lens can be located and
sized with three principal rays. Examples are given for
converging and diverging lenses and for the cases
where the object is inside and outside the principal focal
length.
The "three principal rays" which are used for visualizing
the image location and size are:
A ray from the top of the object proceeding parallel to the
centerline perpendicular to the lens. Beyond the lens, it will pass
through the principal focal point. For a negative lens, it will
proceed from the lens as if it emanated from the focal point on
the near side of the lens.
17. A ray through the center of the lens, which will be un-deflected.
A ray through the principal focal point on the near side of the
lens. It will proceed parallel to the centerline upon exit from the
lens. The third ray is not really needed, since the first two locate
the image.
18. Thin Lens
A lens is a transparent object with two refracting
surfaces whose central axes coincide. The
common central axis is the central axis of the
lens. When a lens is surrounded by air, light
refracts from the air into the lens, crosses
through the lens, and then refracts back into the
air.
Each refraction can change the directionof travel
of the light.
28. (a) A real, inverted image I is formed by a
converging lens when the object O is outside the
focal point (b) The image I is virtual and has the
same orientation as O
when O is inside the focal point.
(c) A diverging lens forms a virtual image I, with
the same orientation as the object O, whether O
is inside or outside the focal point of the lens.
29. Ray Diagrams for Convex Lenses
For an object outside
the focal point, a
real inverted image will
be formed.
For an object inside the
focal point, a virtual
erect image will be
formed.
30. Real Image Formation
If a luminous object is placed at a distance greater than
the focal length away from a convex lens, then it will
form an inverted real image on the opposite side of the
lens. The image position may be found from the lens
equation or by using a ray diagram.
31. Virtual Image Formation
Diverging lenses form reduced, erect, virtual images.
Using the common form of the lens equation, f, P and i
are negative quantities.
32. Ray Diagrams for Concave Lenses
The ray diagrams for concave lenses inside and outside
the focal point give similar results: an erect virtual
image smaller than the object. The image is always
formed inside the focal length of the lens.
33. Focal Length and Lens Strength
The most important characteristic of a lens is
its principal focal length, or its inverse which is
called the lens strength or lens "power".
Optometrists usually prescribe corrective
lenses in terms of the lens power in diopters.
The lens power is the inverse of the focal length
in meters: the physical unit for lens power is
1/meter which is called diopter.
35. Lens-Maker's Formula
For a thin lens, the power is approximately
the sum of the surface powers.
The radii of curvature here are measured according to the Cartesian
sign convention.
For a double convex lens the radius R1 is positive since it is
measured from the front surface and extends right to the center of
curvature. The radius R2 is negative since it extends left from the
second surface

36. lmage Formation
Spherical mirrors, spherical refracting surfaces, and thin
lenses can form images of a source of light the object-by
redirecting rays emerging from the source.
The image occurs where the redirected rays cross
(forming a real image) or where backward extensions of
those rays cross (forming a virtual image).
If the rays are sufficiently close to the central axis
through the spherical mirror, refracting surface, or thin
lens, we have the following relations between the object
distance o or p (which is positive) and the image
distance i (which is positive for real images and negative
for virtual images)
39. Using a ray parallel to the principal axis
and one incident upon the center of the
mirror, the position of the image can be
constructed by back-projecting the rays
which reflect from the mirror.
The virtual image that is formed will
appear smaller and closer to the mirror
than the object.
40. Concave Mirror Image
If the object is outside the focal length, a
concave mirror will form a real, inverted image.
41. Concave Mirror Image
If an object is placed inside the focal length of a
concave mirror, and enlarged virtual and erect image
will be formed behind the mirror
49. Diffraction
When waves encounter an edge, an obstacle, or an
aperture the size of which is comparable to the
wavelength of the waves, those waves spread out as
they travel and, as a result, undergo interference. This is
called diffraction
Diffraction is the constructive and destructive
interference of two beams of light that results in a wave-
like pattern.
50. Diffraction
If a wave encounters a barrier that has an opening of
dimensions similar to the wavelength, the part of the
wave that passes through the opening will flare (spread)
out-will diffract-into the region beyond the barrier.
68. Coherence
Two sources of light are said to be coherent if the waves
emitted from them have the same frequency and are
'phase-linked'; that is, they have a zero or constant phase
difference
74. Newtons Ring
Newtons Ring is an interference pattern caused
by the reflection of light between two surfaces -
a spherical surface and an adjacent flat surface.
passing through, and 了 is the wavelength of the
light passing through the glass.
When viewed with monochromatic light it
appears as a series of concentric, alternating
bright and dark rings centered at the point of
contact between the two surfaces.
75. The light rings are caused by constructive
interference between the light rays
reflected from both surfaces, while the
dark rings are caused by destructive
interference.
Also, the outer rings are spaced more
closely than the inner ones.

77. Fraunhofer diffraction
Fraunhofer diffraction is the special case where
the incoming light (monochromatic) is assumed
to be parallel and the image plane is assumed to
be at a very large distance compared to the
diffracting object.
It occurs when planar waves are passed through
an aperture or slit causing only the size of an
observed aperture image to change due to the
far-field location of observation and the
increasingly planar nature of outgoing diffracted
waves passing through the aperture.
78. Fresnel diffraction
Fresnel diffraction refers to the general case.
Fresnel diffraction or near-field diffraction is a process
of diffraction that occurs when a wave passes through an
aperture and diffracts in the near field, causing
any diffraction pattern observed to differ in size and
shape, depending on the distance between the aperture
and the projection.
79. An example of an optical setup that displays Fresnel diffraction
occurring in the near-field. On this diagram, a wave is diffracted and
observed at point . As this point is moved further back, beyond the
Fresnel threshold or in the far-field, Fraunhofer diffraction occurs.
