“10th Class Physics Chapter 12 Quiz: Geometrical Optics” describes the behavior of light as it comes into contact with various surfaces and mediums. This chapter is very important for MDCAT students because it leads them to understand the basic principles of reflection, refraction, and image formation, which are frequently tested in physics exams. Our MDCAT Quiz for this chapter is designed to help students strengthen their understanding and excel in optics-related questions.
The chapter opens by explaining the very basic concepts related to light as a form of energy and its representation as rays. Students get to learn the laws of reflection concerning how light behaves when it hits a surface, as well as how images are formed with plane and curved mirrors. It explains types of mirrors: concave and convex, along with their applications in real life. The next major part of this chapter is dedicated to refraction, the bending of light when it passes from one medium into another, and Snell’s law, which gives a mathematical description for such a phenomenon. Students shall study lenses, focusing of light, and the classification of lenses into convex and concave lenses. Other important topics include critical angle, total internal reflection, and working principles behind optical instruments such as microscopes and telescopes.
