    Question

    What is the concept of spherical lenses?

    A.

    Radiation of light

    B.

    Light refraction

    C.

    Scattering of light

    D.

    Light reflection

    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is (b) Light refraction.
    · Spherical lenses work based on the principle of light refraction, which occurs when light passes through the lens and bends due to the change in medium.
    · There are two types of spherical lenses: convex (converging) and concave (diverging).
    · Convex lenses bring light rays together to a focal point, while concave lenses spread them out.
    · The curvature of the lens affects how much the light bends, determining the focal length and the image's size.
    · Refraction happens because light travels at different speeds in different media, such as air and glass. Spherical lenses are used in magnifying glasses, cameras, and corrective eyewear.
    Additional Knowledge:
    · Radiation of light: Involves the emission of light energy, such as from the sun or other luminous sources.
    · Scattering of light: Happens when light is deflected in various directions by particles or irregularities in a medium, leading to phenomena like the blue sky.
    · Light reflection: Occurs when light bounces off a surface, such as a mirror, and does not pass through the medium.
