Light on objects

Mirrors

Light is reflected when it passes

from one medium to another
medium which has different
density.
In this situation, instead of
bouncing back, light bends at the
boundary between the two layers.

Lenses

Type of lenses
Magnifying glasses are
converging lenses. They
concentrate light and create
a virtually larger image.

Lenses for shortsighted

people are diverging lenses.
They disperse light and
create a virtually smaller
image.
