Describe Laws of Refraction for Class 10 Science

Laws of refraction with diagram

Laws of Refraction NCERT Class 10 Science


Definition of refraction: Refraction is the bending of light from one medium to another.

The density of the medium that refracts light rays is also a factor in refraction. The more dense medium is referred to as a denser medium, whereas the less dense material is referred to as a rarer medium.

The refraction law
As a result of this basic experiment, we may deduce the laws of refraction listed below —


1. In the same plane as the incident ray, the refracted ray, and the normal to the interface of two transparent media at the point of incidence.

2. For the light of a given colour and a given set of media, the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence (Sine I to the sine of the angle of refraction (Sine r) is a constant (Sine r). Snell's law of refraction is another name for this law. (This is also true for the angle 0 < I< 90o)

3. If I is the incidence angle and r is the refraction angle, then

Constant = Sine I / Sine R

Another important finding in this experiment is that the ray of light bends away from the normal as it goes from a denser media to a rarer one. When a ray of light moves from a rarer to a denser medium, it bends towards the normal.

One to One Correspondence and Equivalent Sets Suppose the members of the family are dinning and plates are prepared on the table then there is a One to one correspondence between the set of family members and the plates prepared. We will indicate this correspondence by the symbol If each element of a set A is associated with one and only one element of a set B and each element of B is associated with one and only one element of set A, then the sets A and B are said to be in one to one correspondence. If both the sets are finite and if they are in one to one correspondence, it is obvious that they have the same number of elements. If two sets have the same number of elements, they are said to be equivalent sets. Using symbol, we write A B. Between two equivalent sets, a one to one corr...

What is the difference between human and physical capital

Difference between human and physical capital Human capital refers to a worker's abilities, education, ability, and other attributes that influence his or her productive capacity and earning potential. Physical capital Presence of trade barriers lead to mobility restriction. Process of formation is economic and technical. Physical capital is separable from the owner. Possibility of trading physical capital in the market exists. Continuous use leads to depreciation. Financial statements are present. Human capital Culture and nationality lead to mobility restriction. Process of formation is conscious and social process. Human capital is not separable Services rendered by the human capital can only be sold. Ageing leads to the depreciation but it can be minimized up to some extent. Financial statements are absent.
