Ask your friend to fill the vessel with water. Look at the figure o
again undergoes refraction on the opposite curved surface of the vessel
I need main points from this page
arrow from the same position as before.
What do you see now?
Do you get an inverted image?
How could this happen?
In the first case, when the vessel is empty, light from the arrow refracta
at the curved interface, moves through the glass and enters into air then it
(at the other end from where we are looking) and comes out into the air in
this way light travels through two media and comes out of the vessel and
forms a diminished image.
In the second case, light enters through the curved
surface, moves through water, comes out of the glass
Air
and forms an inverted image.
When the vessel is filled with water, there is a
Curved
curved interface between two different media (air and
surface
water). Assume that the refractive indices of both
water and glass are the same they really are not equal).
This setup of air and water separated by a curved
surface is shown in figure 1.
What happens to a ray that is incident on a curved surface separating
the two media?
Are the laws of refraction still valid?
Let us find out.
rays
axis
Consider a curved surface separating two
different media as shown in figure 2. The centre of
the sphere of which curved surface is a part is called
Principal as the centre of curvature. It is denoted by letter
Any line drawn from the centre of curvature to a
point on the curved surface becomes normal to the
curved surface at that point. The direction of the
normal changes from one point to another point on
the curved surface. The centre of the curved surface is called the pole (P)
of the curved surface. The line that joins the centre of curvature and the
pole is called 'principal aris'.
