Question

Please name every day items that apply to the certain topics regarding optics:

1) Reflection on plane mirrors

2) Interference of light

3) Reflection on curved mirrors

4) Refraction of light

5) Diffraction of light

6) Diverging or converging lenses

7) Polarization of light

I need to include a photo of each concept (7 photos) that I need to take with my phone/camera. For each picture, can you please explain what topic the picture exemplifies using physics terms? Ex: "It shows polarization of light through... etc"

Thank you so much!

Answer 1

I am here giving examples of these physics principles/laws

1. Seeing yourself in a mirror . This is because of reflection from plane mirror. So just click a photo of yourself seeing in mirror?

2.Light reflected from a film of oil floating on water. You will see colours just pour some kerosene or cooking oil in q bucket and you will find layers above beautiful to look at!

3. The rear view mirrors used in vehicles. They are convex mirrors and works of reflection of light. Another example is solar cooker where concave mirrors are used to concentrate sunlight

4.It makes objects under a water surface appear closer than they really are. This is because of refraction of light. So just put a pencil in mug and click the photo

6. Binoculars and telescopes uses convex ie converging lens. Also person suffering from myopia use concave ie diverging lenses

5.The rainbow pattern found on holograms which can be spotted on orignals books and not pirated!

7.fisherman uses polarized glasses to spot fishes, polaroids uses in fasttrack and rayban goggles.
