Chapter-12: Geometrical Optics

Chapter-12:  Geometrical Optics

Light is the main focus of this unit which describe different phenomena of light such as reflection, refraction and total internal reflection. This unit explains how images are formed by mirrors and lenses and will discuss working principle of compound microscope and telescope as: 

• describe the terms used in reflection including normal, angle of incidence, angle of reflection and state laws of reflection. 
• solve problems of image location by spherical mirrors by using mirror formula. 
• describe the passage of light through parallel-sided transparent material. 
• define power of a lens and its unit. 
• describe the correction of short-sight and long-sight. 

Chapter-18: Atomic Number and Nuclear Physics

Atomic and Nuclear Physics

The word atom is derived from the Greek word "otomos", meaning "indivisible". At one time, atoms were thought to be teh smallest particles of matter. Today we know that atoms are composite systems and contain even smaller particles: protons, neutrons and electrons. This unit: 

• describe the structure of an atom in terms of a nucleus and electrons. 
• describe the composition of the nucleus in terms of protons and neutrons. 
• explain the number of protons in a nucleus distinguishes one element from the other. 
• describe teh process of carbon dating to estimate the age of ancient objects. 
• describe hazards of radioactive materials. 

Chapter-17: Information and Communication Technology

We are living in the age of information and communication technology. Now-a-days telephone, mobile phone, fax machine, computer and internet are the main sources of contact. These sources have shortened the distances and have brought in contact the whole world. We should know what this Information and Telecommunication Technology is: 

• components of information technology
• the transmission of: 
• electric signals through wires 
• radio waves through air
• light signals through optical fibres
• describe function and use of fax machines, cell phones, photo phone and computer. 
• make a list of the use of E-mail and internet. 

Chapter-16: Basic Electronics

Electronics is that branch of applied physics which deals with the control of motion of electrons using different devices. Electronic devices being more effective and reliable have revolutionized the fields of telecommunication and information technology. This chapter providing: 

• explain the process of thermionic emission emitted from a filament. 
• describe the simple construction and use of an electron gun as a source of electronic beam. 
• describe the effect of electric field on an electron beam. 
• describe the effect of magnetic field on an electron beam. 
• describe the basic principle of CRO and make a list of its uses.
