The NCERT Class 8 Science Curiosity – Light: Mirrors and Lenses chapter introduces students to the fundamental concepts of light, reflection, and refraction. It explains how mirrors form images, the types of mirrors (plane, concave, convex), and their practical applications in daily life. The chapter also explores lenses – convex and concave, their properties, and how they are used in magnifying glasses, eyeglasses, cameras, and microscopes.
Through experiments, students learn about image formation, focal length, and the behavior of light rays. The chapter emphasizes hands-on observation, encouraging learners to investigate how light interacts with different surfaces and mediums.
By studying NCERT Class 8 Science Curiosity, learners develop critical thinking, analytical skills, and practical understanding of optics. It bridges theory with real-world applications, helping students understand phenomena like vision correction, optical instruments, and light-based technologies.
