$\rho=\frac{1}{\rho}=\frac{\text{m}}{\text{ne}^2\tau}$
As we increase temperature, average speed of the electrons, which act as the carriers of current, increases resulting in more frequent collisions. The average time of collisions $\tau,$ thus decreases with temperature.
The larger the objective, the more light the telescope collects and increases the brightness of image.
The field of view of the telescope decreases as the aperture increases, but the resolving power increases.
The objective lens of a telescope forms an real image of the night sky, the size of that image is in proportion to the focal length of the objective lens. It increases with increase in size of objective lens.
Key Concept: According to Couchy relationship,
$\lambda\propto\frac{1}{\mu}$
Smaller the wavelengh higher the refractive index and consequently smaller the critical angle.

We know $\text{v}=\text{f}\lambda$ the frequency of wave remains unchanged with medium hence $\text{v}\propto\lambda$.
The critical angle, sin $\text{C}=\frac{1}{\mu}$
Also, velocity of light, $\text{v}\propto\frac{1}{\mu}$
According to $\text{VIBGYOR}$, among all given sources of light, the blue light have smallest wavelength. As $\lambda_{\text{blue}}<\lambda_\text{yellow}$ hence $\text{v}_{\text{blue}}<\text{v}_\text{yellow}$, it means $\mu_{\text{blue}}<\mu_\text{yellow}$.
It means critical angle for blue is less than yellow colour, the critical angle is least which facilitates total internal reflection for the beam of blue light.
Flint$-$glass lens has a larger chromatic aberration because the dispersive power of flint$-$glass is higher.
$\frac{1}{\text{f}}=(\text{n}−1)\Big( \frac{1}{\text{R}_1}-\frac{1}{\text{R}_2}\Big)$
where, n is refractive index of lens material with respect to its surrounding medium.
If lens is immersed in the liquid of refractive index equal to its own then $n = 1$ and hence above equation becomes: $\frac{1}{\text{f}}=0$
$\Rightarrow f = \infty$
By Rayleigh's Criterion intensity of scattered light is given by, $\text{I}\propto\frac{1}{\lambda^4}$
Intensity of scattered light is more for smaller wavelengths of light.
In the visible spectrum, the blue side of the spectrum has a smaller wavelength compared to the red side. Hence blue light is scattered more by air molecules present in earth's atmosphere.

The given figure is representing the ray diagram of a simple microscope.
The line joining the pole and the center of curvature of a mirror is called the principal axis.

As we know,
$\frac{1}{\text{f}}=\frac{1}{\text{v}}+\frac{1}{\text{u}}$
$\frac{1}{\text{f}}=\frac{\text{u+v}}{\text{uv}}$
$\text{f}=\frac{\text{uv}}{\text{u+v}}$
A converging lens, magnifies the image of an object if it is placed at a distance less than the focal length of the lens.
Radio waves are reflected by a layer of atmosphere called the Ionosphere, so they can reach distant parts of the Earth. The reflection of radio waves by ionosphere is due to total internal reflection. It is the same as total internal reflection of light in air during a mirage, i.e., angle of incidence is greater than critical angle.
Important point: The ionized part of the Earth’s atmosphere is known as the ionosphere. Ultraviolet light from the sun collides with atoms in this region knocking electrons loose. The creates ions, or atoms with missing electrons. This is what gives the Ionosphere its name$-$ and it is the free electrons that cause the reflection and absorption of ratio waves.


Convex lens can form an erect, virtual and enlarged image when the object is positioned between its pole and focus.

As the magnifying lens $($convex lens$)$ is moved far away from the eye, the image formed is real and inverted and is formed inside the human eye and hence it blurs. Since the object is far away from the mirror, the image formed is diminished and hence magnification reduces.
In astronomical telescope $2$ convex lens called eyepiece and objective lens are used and object is placed before eyepiece lens, such that final image inverted, a camera and eye also form inverted image on the screen.
Whereas simple microscope gives an erect, virtual and enlarged image of the object placed between first principal focus and the optic nerve of the convex lens.
In a projector, the image formed is real, inverted magnified on the other side of the lens. This inverted image is again inverted by the film.

A concave lens always produces virtual, erect and diminished images and the decrease in the size of the image depends on the position of the object.
Concave lens will shrink the size of the already small letters.
A convex lens produces real and virtual, erect and inverted, diminished, same sized and magnified image of the object, depending upon the position of the object on the principal axis.
When the object is placed between $F$ and $2F$ of convex lens, an enlarged but inverted image of the object is formed. The magnified image makes it easier to read small letters but the inverted image is undesirable.
When the object is placed at a distance less than the focal length of convex lens, an enlarged and erect image of the object is formed, which makes it easier to read small letters.
When light enters from one medium to another, its speed and direction changes, and hence the light seems to be bending towards or away from the normal. This phenomenon is called refraction of light.

Key concept:
In thin prisms, the distance between the refracting surfaces is ineligible and the angle of prism $(A)$ is very small. Since $A=r_1+r_2$, therefore if $A$ is small then both $r_1$, and $r_2$ are also small, and the same is true for $i_1$ and $i_2$.

According to Snell's law, $1 \sin i _1=\mu$. $\sin r _1 \Rightarrow i _1=\mu . r _1$
Also, $1 . \sin i _2=\mu \cdot \sin r _2 \Rightarrow i _2=\mu \cdot r _2$
Therefore, deviation, $\delta=\left( i _1- r _1\right)+\left( i _2- r _2\right)$
$\Rightarrow \delta=\left( i _1+ i _2\right)-\left( r _1+ r _2\right)=\left( r _1+ r _2\right)(\mu-1)$
$\Rightarrow \delta= A (\mu-1)$
Since, deviation $\delta=(\mu-1) A$
$=(1.5-1) \times 5^{\circ}=2.5^{\circ}$
The angle of the prism is $5^{\circ}$. The ray emerges from refracting face of a prism normally.
Then, $i _2= r _2=0$
As $A=r_1+r_2 \Rightarrow A$ or $r_1=5^{\circ}$
But $i _1=\mu . r _1=\frac{3}{2} \times 5=7.5^{\circ}$

Here $P, P_1 \ P_2$ are the Power of Lenses.
$P=P_1+P_2$
$\frac{1}{\text{f}}=\frac{1}{\text{f}_1}=\frac{1}{\text{f}_2}$
$(\mu-1)\Big(\frac{2}{\text{R}}\Big)+(\mu'-1)\Big(\frac{-1}{\text{R}}\Big)$
$(1.2-1)\Big(\frac{2}{\text{R}}\Big)-\Big(\frac{4}{3}-1\Big)\Big(\frac{1}{\text{R}}\Big)$
$\frac{1}{\text{f}}=\frac{2}{5\text{R}}-\frac{1}{3\text{R}}$
$\frac{1}{\text{f}}=\frac{6-5}{15\text{R}}$
$\text{f}=15\text{R}$
Focal lenght of combined is positive, but it's magnitude in capair to $f_1 \ f_2$ is High. So it will be hare like a divergent lens.
The perpendicular distance between the original path of the incident ray and the emergent ray of light coming out of a glass slab is called lateral displacement. It is proportional to the thickness glass slab.
If an object approaches a convergent lens from the left of the lens with a uniform speed of $5m/s$, then the image moves away from lens with a non$-$uniform acceleration.
Refraction is a phenomenon in which when a ray passes from one medium to another it bends away from its straight-line path due to the difference in optical densities or refractive indices of the two mediums.
A simple microscope is just a convex lens with object lying between optical centre and focus of the lens.
A convex lens of short focal length gives a greater magnification than lenses of long focal length.
Person $B$ has stronger ciliary muscles than person $A$. So, the muscles in his case can be strained more and the focal length of his eye can be reduced more compared to those of person $A$. While seeing far objects, the muscles are relaxed, so their strength will not affect the far point of the eye.

The central point of a spherical mirror is called the Pole of the mirror.

An ellipsometer is a device used for studying thin films on a solid surface.
Ellipsometry is an optical technique for investigating the di electric properties of thin films.
Magnification of image created by mirror is defined as
$\text{m}=\frac{\text{size of object}}{\text{size of image}}$
and in case of inverted image. Size of image is negative whereas size of object is positive. Hence , magnification produced is negative and it can be unity when object is placed at center of curvature and infinity when object is at focus.
An achromatic combination of lenses provide deviation without dispersion. So, images are unaffected by variation of refractive index with wavelength.


$\text{Magnification}=\frac{\text{Image Height}}{\text{Object Height}} $
because unit of image height and object height is same hence unit of magnification is none because it is a constant number. So, it has got to unit.
The only difference between simple microscope and compound microscope is an eyepiece of smaller focal length than objective which increases magnifying power.


As aeroplane is at higher altitude, the passenger in an aeroplane may see a primary and a secondary rainbow like concentric circles.
Key Concept:
If an object move with constant speed ($V_0$) towards a convex lens from infinity to focus, the image will move slower in the beginning and then faster. Also $\text{V}_\text{i}=\Big(\frac{\text{f}}{\text{f}+\text{u}}\Big)^2\text{V}_0$.
If an object approaches the lens, the image moves away from lens with a non$-$uniform acceleratiion.
