Ray Optics MCQs for NEET

In optics, light is considered to be a ray that travels in a straight line. Following are a few important terms that we often deal with while studying light:

  • The phenomenon of the light returning to the same medium from which it started after striking a surface is known as a reflection of light.
  • There are two laws of reflection as follows

(a) The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection

(b) The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the reflecting surface all lie in the same plane.

  • When a ray of light travelling from a denser medium to a rarer medium at an angle greater than the critical angle, it is completely reflected back to the denser medium. This phenomenon is called the total internal reflection.
  • Power of lens is defined as the ability of the lens to converge or diverge the rays of light.
  • The phenomenon of splitting of light into its component colours is known as dispersion.
