Light: Mirrors and Lenses
This chapter of the Class 8 NCERT Curiosity textbook follows light as it bounces and bends. Learners verify the laws of reflection with plane mirrors, then compare the upright, magnified and diminished images formed by concave and convex mirrors in torches, vehicles and street lamps. Refraction through glass slabs and prisms leads to convex and concave lenses, the workings of spectacles, magnifiers and cameras, and a clear account of how images form. Ray diagrams turn everyday sights into precise, predictable geometry.
