Malus Law
Malus law helps us study of light intensity relation of the polarizer-analyzer. It plays a vital role in understanding the polarization properties of light. History The law was named after …

Snell’s Law
Snell’s Law also called as Law of Refraction, is usually stated as, , where \(\theta_1\) is angle of incidence and \(\theta_2\) is angle of refraction and n1, n2 are refractive …
Critical Angle
When a ray of light travels from denser to rarer medium it bends away from the normal and as the angle of incidence in denser medium increases, the angle of …
Brewster’s Law
Brewster’s Law gives the exact angle of incidence for different materials and wavelengths of light for which the reflected ray is completely polarised. This angle of incidence is called the …
Tyndall Effect
The Tyndall Effect, also known as the Tyndall scattering, is a phenomenon in which light incident at a colloid (i.e., a homogenous mixture in which very fine microscopic particles are …
Huygens’ Principle
Huygens principle, also known as the Huygens-Fresnel principle proposed the wave nature of light. The principle establishes a wave view of light rather than a particle view. It allows us …
