The key takeaways are that light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum visible to humans, the different sources of light include thermal and gas discharge sources, reflection of light follows certain laws, and spherical mirrors come in two types - concave and convex.

The different types of light sources discussed are thermal sources like bulbs which emit a continuous range of visible wavelengths, and gas discharge sources like neon bulbs which emit light of a particular color when a potential difference is applied across their electrodes.

The laws of reflection are: 1) The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, and 2) The incident ray, reflected ray and the normal to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence are coplanar.

INTRODUCTION
Human eye responds to very small portion, known as
visible part of electromagnetic spectrum. The visible
part of the electromagnetic spectrum consisting of
wavelength ranging from 4000 A to 7600A is known as
light. We see this beautiful world and the natural
phenomena with the help of light. Everything appears
dark in the absence of light.
Light travel with the speed of .in air or vacuum.
True nature of light is mystery even today. Sun is
natural source of light.
SOURCE OF LIGHT
Thermal source of light:- A hot source which emits
light containing a whole continues range of visible
wavelength is known as thermal source of light.
For example:- bulb, an oil lamp and burning candle
Gas discharge source of light:- if filled source which on
application of potential difference across its electrodes
emits light of a particular color is known as gas source
of light. for example:- neon bulb, sodium vapour lamp
REFLECTION OF LIGHT
The phenomenon of bouncing back of light in the same
medium when the light falls on the surface is known as
reflection of light.
Reflection of light obeys certain laws known as laws of
reflection.
LAWS OF REFLECTION:-
1. Angle of incidence is equal to angle
of reflection i.e. angle i= angle r
2. The incidence ray ,reflected ray and
normal to the reflecting surface at
the point of incidence are coplanar.
SPHERICAL MIRRORS
Spherical mirrors are the reflecting part of spherical
surface. These are of two types as follows:-
1. Concave mirror:- Concave mirror is a part of a
hollow sphere whose outer part is silvered and inner
part becomes reflecting surface.
2.Convex mirror:- Convex mirror is a part of a hollow
sphere whose inner part is silvered and the outer part
becomes reflecting surface.
IMPORTANT TERMS IN SPHERICAL
MIRRORS
1. Center of curvature
2. radius of curvature
3.pole (vertex)
4.principal axis
5.principle section
6. aperture
7. principal focus
8. focal length
9. focal plane
NEW SIGN CONVENTIONS
Rules of sign conventions are as follows:-
1. All the distance are measured from pole of the
spherical mirror.
2.Distance measured in the direction of the incidence
light are taken as positive whereas distance measured
in the direction opposite to that of the incident light is
taken as negative.
3. The upward distance perpendicular to the principal
axis are taken as positive while the downward distance
are taken as negative.
MIRROR FORMULA AND MIRROR
EQUATION
The distance between the pole of the mirror and the
position of object on the principal axis is represented
by u.
The distance between the pole of the mirror and the
position of the image on the principal axis is
represented by v.
Focal length is represented by f.
LINEAR MAGNIFICATION
Linear magnification produced by a mirror is defined as the
ratio of the size (or height) of the image to the size of object.
It is denoted by m.

Some conclusions:-
Positive magnification means both object and image are upright.
Negative magnification means object and image have different
orientation.
