When white light is passed through a prism, the colour which shows maximum deviation is
(b) When white light is passed through a prism, violet light shows the maximum deviation. This is because violet light has the shortest wavelength and therefore bends (refracts) the most when passing through the prism.
A man has a height of 6 m. He observes his image of 2 m height and erect, then the mirror used is
(b) Only a convex mirror consistently forms erect and diminished images.
Explanation:
The object height (man’s height) is \(h_o=6 \mathrm{~m}\).
The image height is \(h_i=2 \mathrm{~m}\).
The image is erect.
Magnification \(m=\frac{h_i}{h_o}\).
Convex mirrors always form erect and diminished images.
Plane mirrors form erect images of the same size.
Concave mirrors form erect and magnified images when the object is between the pole and focal point.
Magnification \(m=\frac{h_i}{h_o}=\frac{1}{3}\).
\(
\text { The image is erect and diminished }(m<1) \text {. }

The field of view is maximum for
(c) The field of view in convex mirror is more as compared to plane or concave mirror. This is why it is used as rear view mirror in vehicles.
Explanation: A convex mirror has the largest field of view because its outward curvature causes light rays to diverge, allowing it to capture a wider area of the surrounding environment compared to a plane or concave mirror.
What will be the colour of sky as seen from the earth, if there were no atmosphere?
(a) Sky appears blue due to scattering of light. In absence of atmosphere, no scattering will occur. Therefore sky will be seen black.
The reason for shining of air bubble in water is
(d) An air bubble in water shines due to total internal reflection at its outer surface. Here, light is propagating from denser medium (water) to rarer medium (air) and if \(i>\theta_c\), then total internal reflection takes place at the surface of the bubble. Hence, air bubble appears to be shinning in water.
The sky would appear red instead of blue, if
(c) atmospheric particles scatter red light more than the blue light.
Explanation: The blue color of the sky is due to the scattering of light by atmospheric particles, where shorter wavelengths like blue are scattered more than longer wavelengths like red. If atmospheric particles were to scatter red light more than blue light, the sky would appear red instead.
A passenger in an aeroplane
(b) A passenger in an aeroplane may see a primary and a secondary rainbow as concentric circles.
Explanation: From an airplane, the rainbow appears as a full circle because there’s no obstruction from the ground like on the Earth’s surface, allowing you to see both the primary and secondary rainbows concentrically.
Which of the following quantities increases when wavelength of light is increased? Consider only the magnitudes.
(b) The focal length of a lens is inversely proportional to the refractive index of the lens and the refractive index of the lens is inversely proportional to the square of wavelength. Therefore, the focal length is directly dependent on wavelength; it increases when the wavelength is increased.
A transparent plastic bag filled with air forms a concave lens. Now, if this bag is completely immersed in water, then it behaves as
(b)Â If a transparent plastic bag filled with air is completely immersed in water, it behaves as a convergent lens.
Explanation:
When the bag is filled with air, it acts as a concave lens because air has a lower refractive index than the plastic. However, when submerged in water, the refractive index of the surrounding water is closer to that of the plastic, causing the light to bend differently and converge. This makes the bag behave like a convergent lens.
When light wave suffers reflection at the interface from air to glass, then the change in phase of the reflected wave is equal to
(c) When light reflects at the interface from air to glass, it is moving from a medium with a lower refractive index (air) to a medium with a higher refractive index (glass). In this case, the reflected wave undergoes a phase change of \(\pi\) radians (or 180 degrees). This phenomenon is similar to a wave on a string being inverted when it hits a fixed point. The phase change is caused by the difference in the refractive indices of the two media.
Note: When a light wave travelling from a medium of refractive index \(\mu_1[latex] towards a medium of refractive index [latex]\mu_2\) undergo a \(180^{\circ}\) phase change on reflection when \(\mu_2>\mu_1\). No phase change occurs in the reflected light if \(\mu_2<\mu_1\).
The minimum magnifying power of telescope is \(M\). If the focal length of its eye lens is halved, the magnifying power will become
(b) \(|m|=\frac{f_o}{f_e}\)
When \(f_e\) is halved, so \(m^{\prime}=\frac{2 \times f_o}{f_e}=2 m\)
A point object is placed at the centre of a glass sphere of radius 6 cm and refractive index 1.5. The distance of the virtual image from the surface of the sphere is
(c) The radius of the glass sphere is \(R=6 \mathrm{~cm}\).
The refractive index of the glass is \(\mu_1=1.5\).
The object is placed at the center of the sphere.
Rays originating from the center of a sphere strike the surface normally.
Rays striking a surface normally pass undeviated.
Since the object is at the center of the sphere, all light rays from the object travel along the radius.
These rays strike the surface of the sphere at a \(90^{\circ}\) angle (normally).
When light rays strike a surface normally, they do not refract or deviate. Therefore, the rays continue in a straight line without bending.
Since the rays pass undeviated, they appear to originate from the same point as the object.
Thus, the virtual image is formed at the center of the sphere.
The distance of the image from the surface is equal to the radius of the sphere.
Distance \(=R=6 \mathrm{~cm}\).
The distance of the virtual image from the surface of the sphere is 6 cm.
An object has an image thrice of its original size when kept at 8 cm and 16 cm from a convex lens. Focal length of the lens is
(d) The image is thrice the original size, so the magnification is \(\pm 3\). The object distances are \(u_1=8 \mathrm{~cm}\) and \(u_2=16 \mathrm{~cm}\).
The magnification formula for a lens is \(m=\frac{f}{f+u}\).
For the object at \(u_1=8 \mathrm{~cm}\), the image is virtual and magnified, so \(m=+3\). Using the magnification formula: \(3=\frac{f}{f-8} \dots(i)\).
For the object at \(u_2=16 \mathrm{~cm}\), the image is real and magnified, so \(m=-3\). Using the magnification formula: \(-3=\frac{f}{f-16} \dots(ii)\).
Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
\(
f=12 \mathrm{~cm}
\)
A ray of light is incident on the surface of separation of a medium at an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) and is refracted in the medium at an angle of \(30^{\circ}\). What will be the velocity of light in the medium?
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \text { (b) As, } \frac{c}{v}=\frac{\sin i}{\sin r} \\
& \Rightarrow \quad v=\frac{c \times \sin r}{\sin i}=\frac{3 \times 10^8 \times \sin 30^{\circ}}{\sin 45^{\circ}}=2.12 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}
\end{aligned}
\)
If the aperture of a telescope is decreased, then resolving power will
(b) The resolving power of telescope \(=\frac{a}{1.22 \lambda}\)
where, \(a=\) aperture of telescope.
\(\therefore\) Resolving power \(\propto\) Aperture of telescope
If aperture of telescope is decreased, then the resolving power will decrease.
A prism can have a maximum refracting angle of ( \(C=\) critical angle for the material of the prism)
(c) The refracting angle \(A\) of a prism is given by \(A=r_1+r_2\), where \(r_1\) and \(r_2\) are the angles of refraction at the first and second surfaces, respectively.
For the light ray to emerge from the second surface, the angle of incidence at this surface, which is \(r_2\), must be less than or equal to the critical angle \(\boldsymbol{C}\).
So, \(r_2 \leq C\).
Consider the maximum possible value for \(r_1\).
The maximum value for \(r_1\) is also \(C\), as if \(r_1>C\), total internal reflection would occur at the first surface if the ray were reversed.
Thus, \(r_1 \leq C\).
Determine the maximum refracting angle.
The maximum refracting angle \(A_{\text {max }}\) occurs when both \(r_1[latex] and [latex]r_2\) are at their maximum possible values, which is \(C\).
\(
A_{\max }=C+C=2 C
\)
Solution: The maximum refracting angle of a prism is \(2 C\).
When a lens of refractive index \(n_1\) is placed in a liquid of refractive index \(n_2\), then the lens seems to be disappeared only, if
(c) If refractive index of lens \(n_1\) is equal to refractive index of liquid \(n_2\), then lens behaves as a plane glass plate and becames invisible in the medium.
When sun light is scattered by minute particles of atmosphere, then the intensity of light scattered away is proportional to
(b) Molecules of a medium after absorbing incoming light radiations, emit them in all directions. This phenomenon is called scattering. According to scientist Rayleigh, the intensity of scattered light \(\propto \frac{1}{\lambda^4} \propto f^4\)
where, \(f\) is the frequency.
Which amongst the following phenomena is not associated with the total internal reflection?
(d)Â The phenomenon not associated with total internal reflection is Dispersion of light.
Explanation: Total internal reflection occurs when light traveling in a denser medium strikes a boundary with a less dense medium at an angle greater than the critical angle, causing the light to be reflected back into the denser medium. Dispersion of light, on the other hand, is the separation of white light into its constituent colors when it passes through a prism or other medium, which is not related to the angle of incidence or total internal reflection.
Wavelength of light in vacuum is \(5890 Ã…\), then its wavelength in glass \((\mu=1.5)\) will be
(d) Given, wavelength in vacuum \(=5890 Ã…\)
In a medium of refractive index, the wavelength of ligh decreases to \(\frac{\lambda}{\mu}=\frac{5890}{1.5} \cong 3927 Ã…\).
When a thin convex lens is put in contact with a thin concave lens of the same focal length \(f\), then the resultant combination has focal length equal to
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { (d) Resultant focal length of combination, }\\
&F_{\text {comb }}=\frac{f_1 f_2}{f_1+f_2}=\frac{f(-f)}{f+(-f)}=\infty
\end{aligned}
\)
If refractive index of glass is 1.50 and of water is 1.33, then critical angle is
(a) When a ray of light passes from a denser medium to a rarer medium, then it bends away from the normal at the interface of the two media.
The angle of incidence is measured with respect to the normal at the refractive boundary. It is given by
\(
C=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{n_2}{n_1}\right)
\)
where, \(C\) is critical angle, \(n_2\) is the refractive index of rarer medium and \(n_1\) of the denser medium.
\(
\begin{aligned}
\text { Given, } & & n_2 & =1.33, n_1=1.50 \\
& & C & =\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1.33}{1.50}\right) \\
\Rightarrow & & C & =\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{8}{9}\right)
\end{aligned}

A plano-convex lens is made of refractive index of 1.6. The radius of curvature of the curved surface is 60 cm. The focal length of the lens is
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { (c) Here, }\\
&\begin{aligned}
& \frac{1}{f}=(\mu-1)\left[\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}\right] \\
& \frac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)\left[\frac{1}{60}-\frac{1}{\infty}\right]=\frac{1}{100} \Rightarrow f=100 \mathrm{~cm}

(c) Real depth \(=1 \mathrm{~m}\)
Apparent depth \(=1-0.1=0.9 \mathrm{~m}\)
Refractive index, \(\mu=\frac{\text { Real depth }}{\text { Apparent depth }}=\frac{1}{0.9}=\frac{10}{9}\)
Under minimum deviation condition in a prism, if a ray is incident at an angle of \(30^{\circ}\), then the angle between the emergent ray and the second refracting surface of the prism is
(d) Under minimum deviation, \(i=e=30^{\circ}\), so angle between emergent ray and second refracting surface is \(90^{\circ}-30^{\circ}=60^{\circ}\).
A beam of light composed of red and green rays is incident obliquely at a point on the face of a rectangular glass slab. When coming out on the opposite parallel face, then the red and green rays emerge from
(b) In any medium other than air or vacuum, the velocities of different colours of light are different.Therefore, both red and green colours are refracted at different angles of refractions. Hence, after emerging from glass slab through opposite parallel face, they appear at two different points and move in two different parallel directions.
If object is placed 15 cm from a concave mirror of focal length 10 cm, then the nature of image formed will be
(a) When object is placed between centre of curvature and focus (i.e., \(f<u<2 f\) ), then image will be between \(2 f\) and \(\infty\), real, inverted, large in size and \(m>-1\)
Explanation:Â
For a concave mirror, the focal length \(f\) is positive. The center of curvature \(\boldsymbol{C}\) is at \(2 f\).
The focal length is \(f=10 \mathrm{~cm}\).
The center of curvature is \(C=2 f=2 \times 10 \mathrm{~cm}=20 \mathrm{~cm}\).
The object distance is \(u=15 \mathrm{~cm}\).
Since \(10 \mathrm{~cm}<15 \mathrm{~cm}<20 \mathrm{~cm}\), the object is placed between the focal point \(F\) and the center of curvature \(\boldsymbol{C}\).
When an object is placed between \(F\) and \(C\) of a concave mirror, the image formed is real, inverted, and magnified.
If \(x_1\) is the size of the magnified image and \(x_2\) is the size of the diminished image in lens displacement method, then the size of the object is
(a) Let \(O\) be the size of the object.
Magnification for the magnified image: \(m_1=\frac{x_1}{O}\).
Magnification for the diminished image: \(m_2=\frac{x_2}{O}\).
The product of magnifications is \(1: m_1 m_2=1\).
Substitute the expressions for \(m_1\) and \(m_2: \frac{x_1}{O} \times \frac{x_2}{O}=1\).
Simplify the equation: \(\frac{x_1 x_2}{O^2}=1\).
Rearrange to find \(O: O^2=x_1 x_2\).
Take the square root: \(O=\sqrt{x_1 x_2}\).
The size of the object is \(\sqrt{x_1 x_2}\).

For minimum deviation, \(A=2 r\) or \(r=\frac{A}{2}=\frac{60^{\circ}}{2}=30^{\circ}\) for both colours.

v_g & =2 \times 10^8 \\
\text { Time } & =\frac{\text { Distance }}{\text { Speed }} \\
t & =\frac{4 \times 10^{-3}}{2 \times 10^8} \\
t & =2 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{~s}
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}
\)
Electromagnetic radiation of frequency \(n\), wavelength \(\lambda\), travelling with velocity \(v\) in air, enters a glass slab of refractive index \(\mu\). The frequency, wavelength and velocity of light in the glass slab will be respectively
(b) In going from one medium to another, frequency remains same but wavelength and velocity decrease with the increase in refractive index i.e., wavelength becomes \(\lambda^{\prime}=\lambda / \mu\) and velocity becomes,
\(
c=\frac{v}{\mu}
\)
We have combined a convex lens of focal length \(f_1\) and concave lens of focal length \(f_2\) and their combined focal length was \(F\). The combination of these lenses will behave like a concave lens, if
(a) For combination of one convex and one concave lens
\(
\begin{array}{rlrl}
\frac{1}{F} & =\frac{1}{f_1}-\frac{1}{f_2} \\
\Rightarrow & F & =\frac{f_1 f_2}{f_2-f_1}
\end{array}
\)
If \(f_1>f_2\), then \(F\) will be negative.
Light travels in two media \(A\) and \(B\) with speeds \(1.8 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) and \(2.4 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\), respectively. Then, the critical angle between them is
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { (d) We have, }\\
&C=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{v_1}{v_2}\right)=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1.8 \times 10^8}{2.4 \times 10^8}\right)=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)
\end{aligned}
\)
The focal lengths of a thin convex lens for red and blue colours are 100.5 cm and 99.5 cm, respectively. The dispersive power of the lens is
(a) We have, \(f_y=\sqrt{f_R f_b}\)
\(
f_y=\sqrt{100.5 \times 99.5}=99.99
\)
Also, \(\omega=\frac{f_R-f_b}{f_y}=\frac{100.5-99.5}{99.99}\)
Dispersive power, \(\omega=\frac{1}{99.99}=0.01\)
Two mirrors are placed at right angle to each other. A man is standing between them combing his hair. How many images will he see?
(b) The number of images formed depends upon the angle between the mirrors. If two mirrors make an angle \(\theta\) with each other, then the number of images formed is
\(
n=\frac{360^{\circ}}{\theta}-1
\)
When mirrors are kept mutually perpendicular to each other, then \(\theta=90^{\circ}\).
\(
n=\frac{360}{90}-1=3
\)
Two mirrors are kept at \(60^{\circ}\) to each other and a body is placed at the middle. The total number of images formed are
(c) As, \(n=\frac{360^{\circ}}{60^{\circ}}=6\)
Since, \(n\) is an even integer, so total number of images will be \((n-1)\) or 5.
If the focal length of the eyepiece of a telescope is doubled, then its magnifying power ( \(m\) ) will be
(c) The magnifying power \((m)\) of a telescope, \(m=-\frac{f_o}{f_e}\).
Now, if the focal length of the eyepiece \(\left(f_e\right)\) is doubled, then the new magnification would be equal to \(m^{\prime}=-\frac{f_o}{2 f_e}=\frac{m}{2}\).
Angular resolving power of human eye is
(a) The minimum angular separation between two objects, so that they are just resolved is called resolving limit. For eye, it is \(1^{\prime}=\left[\frac{1}{60}\right]^{\circ}\).

& =\frac{10800}{\pi}=3.436 \times 10^3 \mathrm{rad}
\end{aligned}
\)
If the red light is replaced by blue light illuminating the object in a microscope, then the resolving power of the microscope
(b) Resolving power of microscope \(=\frac{2 \mu \sin \theta}{\lambda}\)
Since, \(\lambda_R>\lambda_B\), hence resolving power increases.
A telescope using light having wavelength \(5000 Ã…\) and using lenses of focal lengths 2.5 cm and 30 cm. If the diameter of the aperture of the objective is 10 cm, then the resolving limit of telescope is
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { (a) Resolving limit of telescope }\\
&=\frac{1.22 \lambda}{a}=\frac{1.22 \times\left(5000 \times 10^{-10}\right)}{0.1}=6.1 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{rad}
\end{aligned}
\)
An astronomical telescope in normal adjustment receives light from a distance source \(S\), the tube length is now decreased slightly, then
(b) In an astronomical telescope, \(L=f_o+f_e\)
When tube length is decreased, then the image formed by the objective lens will lie between principal focus and optical centre of eye lens instead of lying at the focus of eye lens. Therefore, a virtual image will be formed at a finite distance from the eye lens.
An astronomical telescope has an angular magnification of magnitude 5 for distant objects. The separation between the objective and the eyepiece is 36 cm and the final image is formed at infinity. The focal length \(f_o\) of the objective and the focal length \(f_e\) of eyepiece are
(d) In this case, \(|m|=\frac{f_o}{f_e}=5 \dots(i)\) and length of telescope \(=f_o+f_e=36 \dots(ii)\)
On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

\begin{aligned}
+\frac{1}{2} & =\frac{200}{(200-u)} \\
200-u & =400 \\
u & =-200 \mathrm{~cm} \\
u & =-2 \mathrm{~m}

(a) We have, the effective power given by
\(
P_{\mathrm{eff}}=P_1+P_2
\)
Also, we know \(P=\frac{1}{f}\)
Hence, \(P_{\text {eff }}=\frac{1}{f_1}+\frac{1}{f_2}=\frac{1}{0.20}+\frac{1}{0.25}=5+4=9 \mathrm{D}\)

An object is kept at a distance of 16 cm from a thin lens and the image formed is real. If the object is kept at a distance of 6 cm from the same lens, then the image formed is virtual. If the size of the image formed are equal, then the focal length of the lens will be
(d) Lens should be convex. Images should be magnified, if object at 16 cm length should lie between \(f\) and \(2 f\). Because corresponding to \(6 \mathrm{~cm}(<f)\), length image should be virtual.
From the given options, if \(f=11 \mathrm{~cm}\).

(b) Using mirror formula, \(\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{(-u)}=\frac{1}{-f}\)
Multiplying with \(u, \frac{u}{v}=\frac{-u}{f}+1=\frac{f-u}{f}\)
\(\therefore\) Magnification, \(m=-\frac{v}{u}=\left(\frac{f}{f-u}\right)\)
Now, \(\quad|d v|=m^2|d u|\)
Size of image \(=\left(\frac{f}{f-u}\right)^2 \cdot b=\left(\frac{f}{u-f}\right)^2 \cdot b\)
A mirror is inclined at an angle of \(\theta\) with the horizontal. If a ray of light is incident at an angle of incidence \(\theta\), then the reflected ray makes the following angle with horizontal

A light ray going from air is incident (as shown in figure) at one end of a glass fibre (refractive index \(\mu=15\) ) making an incidence angle of \(60^{\circ}\) on the lateral surface,
so that it undergoes a total internal reflection. How much time would it take to traverse the straight fibre of length 1 km?
(d) When total internal reflection just takes place from lateral surface, \(i=C\), i.e. \(60^{\circ}=C\)
\(
\Rightarrow \quad \sin 60^{\circ}=\sin C=\frac{1}{\mu} \Rightarrow \mu=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}
\)
Time taken by light to traverse some distance in a medium,

A thin convergent glass lens \(\mu=15\) has a power of +5.0 D. When this lens is immersed in a liquid of refractive index \(\mu_l\) it acts as diverging lens of focal length 100 cm. The value of \(\mu_l\) should be
(c) When the lens in air, we have
\(
P_a=\frac{1}{f_a}=\frac{\mu_g-\mu_a}{\mu_a}\left[\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}\right]
\)
When the lens is in liquid, we have
\(
P_l=\frac{1}{f_l}=\frac{\mu_g-\mu_l}{\mu_l}\left[\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}\right]
\)
Given,
\(

From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
\(
\frac{\mu_3}{f}=\frac{\mu_2-\mu_1-\mu_3+\mu_2}{R}=\frac{2 \mu_2-\left(\mu_1+\mu_3\right)}{R}
\)
Lens will become diverging, if \(f\) is negative i.e.

\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\begin{array}{ll}
\text { By using, } & \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{-f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{(-5 f / 3)} \\

When an object is at distance \(x\) and \(y\) from a lens, a real image and a virtual image is formed respectively having same magnification. The focal length of the lens is
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { (a) For real image, }\\
&\begin{aligned}
u & =-x \\
v & =+m x \\
\therefore \quad \frac{1}{m x}-\frac{1}{-x} & =\frac{1}{f} \dots(i)
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}
\)
For virtual image, \(\quad u=-y\)
Then, \(\quad v=-m y\)
\(
\therefore \quad \frac{1}{-m y}-\frac{1}{(-y)}=\frac{1}{f} \dots(ii)
\)
On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
\(
f=\frac{x+y}{2}

\)
\(
f=\frac{R}{2}(n-1) \dots(i)
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { For plano-convex lens, }\\
&\begin{aligned}
& \frac{1}{f_1}=(n-1)\left(\frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{\infty}\right) \\
& f_1=\frac{R}{(n-1)} \dots(ii)
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}
\)
On comparing Eqs. (i) and (ii),we see the focal length become double.
As power of lens, \(P \propto \frac{1}{\text { focal length }}\).
Hence, power will become half.
New power \(=\frac{4}{2}=2 \mathrm{D}\)
A ray incident at a point as an angle of incidence of \(60^{\circ}\) enters a glass sphere of refractive index \(n=\sqrt{3}\) and is reflected and refracted further at the surface of the sphere. The angle between the reflected and refracted rays at this surface is
\(
\text { (c) We have, refractive index, } \mu=\frac{\sin i}{\sin r} \Rightarrow \sqrt{3}=\frac{\sin 60^{\circ}}{\sin r}
\)
\(
\sin r=\frac{1}{2}

The graph shows, how the inverse of magnification \(\frac{1}{m}\) produced by a convex thin lens, with variation in object distance \(u\). What was the focal length of the lens used?
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { (d) Equation of straight line } A B \text {, }\\
&\frac{1}{m}=\tan \theta u-\frac{b a}{c}
\end{aligned}
\)
From, \(\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{-u}=\frac{1}{+f}\)
\(
v=\frac{u f}{u-f} \text { or } \frac{v}{u}=m=\frac{f}{u-f} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{m}=\left(\frac{1}{f}\right) u-1
\)
Comparing this with equation of straight line, \(1 / f\) is the slope of line, which is \(b / c\). So, the focal length of the lens used is \(\frac{c}{b}\).
A convex lens of focal length 30 cm forms a real image three times larger than the object on a screen. Object and screen are moved until the image becomes twice the size of the object. If the shift of the object is 6 cm. The shift of screen is
\(
\begin{aligned}

&\therefore \quad x=40 \mathrm{~cm} \text { and } 3 x=120 \mathrm{~cm}
\end{aligned}
\)
To decrease the magnification, object should be moved towards \(2 F_1\).
Hence, image will move towards \(2 F_2\). Let displacement is \(y\), then
\(
2(40+6)=(120-y) \quad\left(\because m=\frac{v}{u}\right)
\)
\(
y=28 \mathrm{~cm}

\end{array}
\end{aligned}
\)
\(
\text { Now, } \quad \frac{1}{-22.5}+\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{-5}
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{22.5}-\frac{1}{5} \text { or } \frac{1}{v}=\frac{5-22.5}{22.5 \times 5} \\
& v=\frac{22.5 \times 5}{17.5} \text { or } v=-6.43 \mathrm{~cm}

An infinitely long rod lies along with the axis of a concave mirror of focal length \(f\). The near end of the rod is at a distance \(u>f\) from the mirror. Its image will have a length
(a) From the relation,
\(

\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u} & =\frac{1}{f} \text { or } \frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{-f} \\
\frac{1}{v} & =\frac{1}{u}-\frac{1}{f} \text { or } v=\left(\frac{u f}{f-u}\right)
\end{aligned}
\)
Since, \(u>f, v\) is negative or
\(
|v|=\left(\frac{u f}{u-f}\right)>f
\)
The end which is at infinity will have its image at focus.
\(\therefore\) Length of image,
\(

The apparent depth of water in cylindrical water tank of diameter \(2 R \mathrm{~cm}\) is reducing at the rate of \(x \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{min}\) when water is being drained out at a constant rate. The amount of water drained (in \(\mathrm{cc} / \mathrm{min}\) ) is ( \(n_1=\) refractive index of air, \(n_2=\) refractive index of water)
(b) As, \(y_a=\left(\frac{n_1}{n_2}\right) y\)
Here, \(y=\) actual depth and \(y_a=\) apparent depth.
\(

The refractive index of the material of a prism is \(\sqrt{2}\) and the angle of the prism is \(30^{\circ}\). One of the two refracting surfaces of the prism is made a mirror inwards by silver coating. A beam of monochromatic light entering the prism from the other face will retrace its path (after reflection from the silvered surface) if its angle of incidence on the prism is [JIPMER 2018]
(b) According to the question, the figure of mentioned prism is given as (since, there is no refraction at the face \(A C\) )
Given, refractive index of the material of prism, \(\mu=\sqrt{2}\) and angle of prism, \(A=30^{\circ}\).
If the ray \(O R\) has to retrace its path after reflection (as per the given condition), then the ray has to fall normally on the surface \(A C\).
This means \(\angle A R O=\angle O R C=90^{\circ}\)
In \(\triangle A O R\),
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \angle A O R+\angle A R O+\angle O A R=180^{\circ} \\
\Rightarrow \quad & \angle A O R+90^{\circ}+30^{\circ}=180^{\circ}
\end{aligned}
\)
\(
\Rightarrow \angle A O R=180^{\circ}-120^{\circ}=60^{\circ} \dots(i)
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { As we know, } \angle A O R+\angle r_1=90^{\circ}\\
&\Rightarrow \angle r_1=90^{\circ}-60^{\circ}=30^{\circ} \text { [from Eq. (i)] }

\)
\(

&\text { Applying Snell’s law at the face } A B \text {, we get }\\
&\mu=\frac{\sin i}{\sin r}

Substituting the given values, we get

\begin{array}{rlr}
\sin i & =\sin 30^{\circ} \times \sqrt{2} & \\

i & =\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)=45^{\circ} & \left(\because \sin 45^{\circ}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)

\(
\mu=\frac{\sin \left(\frac{60^{\circ}+30^{\circ}}{2}\right)}{\sin \frac{60^{\circ}}{2}}=\frac{\sin 45^{\circ}}{\sin 30^{\circ}} \text { or } \mu=\sqrt{2}

\(
\begin{aligned}
& \mu=\frac{\text { Speed of light in air }(c)}{\text { Speed of light in prism }(v)} \\

\Rightarrow-\frac{1.4}{(-\infty)}+\frac{1.5}{v} & =\frac{1.5-1.4}{R} \\
v & =15 R

For second refracting surface,
\(
\begin{array}{rlrl}
& \frac{\mu_2}{-15 R}+\frac{\mu_3}{v^{\prime}} & =\frac{\mu_3-\mu_2}{R} \\
\Rightarrow & \frac{1.5}{15 R}+\frac{1.6}{v^{\prime}} & =\frac{1.6-1.5}{R} \\

The near point and far point of a person are 40 cm and 250 cm, respectively. Determine the power of the lens he/she should use while reading a book kept at distance 25 cm from the eye. [AIIMS 2015]
(c) If the object is placed at a distance 25 cm from the corrected lens, then it should produce the virtual image at 40 cm.
Thus, \(u=-25 \mathrm{~cm}\) and \(v=-40 \mathrm{~cm}\)
The lens formula, \(\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}=\frac{-1}{40}+\frac{1}{25}\)

Near point, \(v=25 \mathrm{~cm}\)
From lens formula, \(\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f} \Rightarrow-\frac{1}{25}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{12}\)

\frac{1}{u} & =-\frac{25-12}{300}=-\frac{37}{300} \\

\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \text { Now, magnification, }|m|=\left|\frac{v}{u}\right|=\frac{25}{\frac{300}{37}}=\frac{25 \times 37}{300} \\

where, \(\delta=\) angle of minimum deviation
and \(A=\) refracting angle of prism.
As per question, \(\delta=A\), then
\(

& \Rightarrow \quad \frac{1.5}{2}=\cos A / 2=\sin \left(90^{\circ}-A / 2\right) \\
& \Rightarrow \quad 90^{\circ}-A / 2=\sin ^{-1}(0.75)=48^{\circ} 36^{\prime} \\
& \Rightarrow \quad 90^{\circ}-48^{\circ} 36^{\prime}=\frac{A}{2} \Rightarrow 41^{\circ} 24^{\prime}=A / 2 \\

Aperture of human eye is 0.2 cm. The minimum magnifying power of a visual telescope, whose objective has diameter 100 cm, is [CG PMT 2015]
(a) Smallest angle that can be resolved by telescope is given by
\(
d \theta=\frac{1.22 \lambda}{D}
\)
Smallest angle that can be resolved by human eye is given by
\(
d \theta^{\prime}=\frac{1.22 \lambda}{D_e}
\)
where, \(D_e\) is the aperture of human eye, therefore the telescope must have a minimum magnifying power which must be such that, if an object subtend an angle \(d \theta\) at its objective, then the final image produced must subtend an angle \(d \theta^{\prime}\) at the human eye.
\(\therefore\) Minimum magnifying power is given by
\(
\begin{aligned}
M & =\frac{d \theta^{\prime}}{d \theta}=\frac{D}{D_e} \\

\)
\(
v_1=\frac{4}{3}, u_2=3-\frac{4}{3}=5 / 3

This image will be treated as the source for second lens, then again from lens formula, we have
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{1}{f_2} =\frac{1}{v_2}-\frac{1}{u_2} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{1}=\frac{1}{v_2}+5 / 3 \quad \text { (by Eq. (i)) } \\
\Rightarrow & 1-5 / 3 =\frac{1}{v_2} \\
\Rightarrow & v_2 =-3 / 2

This is the final image distance from 2nd lens, so the overall distance of image from the primary source (or object).

Therefore, mean refractive index,

Hence, \(\sin \left(\frac{A+D_m}{2}\right) \approx \frac{A+D_m}{2}\) and \(\sin \frac{A}{2} \approx \frac{A}{2}\)
\(
\begin{array}{ll}
\Rightarrow & \mu=\frac{\frac{A+D_m}{2}}{\frac{A}{2}} \\
\text { So, } & \sqrt{\frac{7}{3}}=\frac{\left(60^{\circ}+D_m\right) / 2}{60^{\circ} / 2} \text { or } 1.53=\frac{60^{\circ}+D_m}{2} \times \frac{1}{30^{\circ}} \\
\therefore & D_m \approx 30^{\circ}=\frac{\pi}{6}

A ray enters a glass sphere of refractive index \(\mu=\sqrt{3}\) at an angle of incidence of \(60^{\circ}\), a ray is reflected and refracted at the farther surface of the sphere. The angle between the reflected and refracted rays at this surface is [UP CPMT 2015]
(c) The situation can be represented as
For the refraction at point \(P\),
\(
\frac{\sin 60^{\circ}}{\sin r_1}=\sqrt{3} \Rightarrow r_1=30^{\circ}
\)
Since, \(r_2=r_1 \Rightarrow r_2=30^{\circ}\)
For refraction at point \(Q, \frac{\sin r_2}{\sin i_2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
When \(r_2=30^{\circ}\), then \(i_2=60^{\circ}\)
\(
\begin{array}{ll}
\Rightarrow & r_2=r_2^{\prime}=30^{\circ} \\

An object placed at 20 cm in front of a concave mirror produces three times magnified real image. What is the focal length of the concave mirror? [KCET 2014]
(a) We know that, linear magnification, \(m=\frac{f}{f-u}\) Given, object displaced, \(u=-20 \mathrm{~cm}\)
\(
\begin{array}{rlrl}
& m =-3 \quad\text { ( } \because \text { all real images are inverted) } \\
& \text { So, } -3 & =\frac{f}{f-(-20)} \\
\Rightarrow & -3 =\frac{f}{f+20} \Rightarrow-3 f-60=f \\
& & 4 f =-60 \Rightarrow f=-\frac{60}{4}=-15 \mathrm{~cm}
\end{array}
\)
Since, mirror is concave, \(f=-15 \mathrm{~cm} \Rightarrow|f|=15 \mathrm{~cm}\)
The focal length of the concave mirror is 15 cm.
In vacuum, to travel distance \(d\), light takes time \(t\) and in medium to travel distance \(5 d\), it takes time \(T\). The critical angle of the medium is [MHT CET 2014]
(c) In vacuum, \(c=d / t\)
In medium, \(v=\frac{5 d}{T}\)
As refractive index, \(\mu=\frac{c}{v}=\frac{d / t}{5 d / T}=\frac{T}{5 t}\)
Also, \(\sin C=\frac{1}{\mu} \text { (where, } C \text { is critical angle) }\)
\(
\therefore \quad C=\sin ^{-1}\left[\frac{5 t}{T}\right]

The equiconvex lens has focal length \(f\). If it is cut perpendicular to the principal axis passing through optical centre, then focal length of each half is [MHT CET 2014]
(d) When an equiconvex lens is cut parallel to principal axis, then focal length remains the same and when the lens is cut perpendicular to principal axis, then its focal length becomes twice the original.
Explanation:
Step 1: For an equiconvex lens, the radii of curvature are \(\boldsymbol{R}_{\mathbf{1}}=\boldsymbol{R}\)
and \(\boldsymbol{R}_{\mathbf{2}}=-\boldsymbol{R}\).
The lens maker’s formula for the original lens is \(\frac{1}{f}=(\mu-1)\left(\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}\right)\).
Substituting the radii, \(\frac{1}{f}=(\mu-1)\left(\frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{-R}\right)=(\mu-1) \frac{2}{R}\).
Step 2: When cut perpendicular to the principal axis, each half becomes a plano-convex lens.
For a plano-convex lens, one surface is curved with radius \(\boldsymbol{R}_{\mathbf{I}}^{\prime}=\boldsymbol{R}\), and the other is flat with radius \(R_2^{\prime}=\infty\).
Let the new focal length be \(f^{\prime}\).
Step 3: The lens maker’s formula for one half is \(\frac{1}{f^{\prime}}=(\mu-1)\left(\frac{1}{R_1^{\prime}}-\frac{1}{R_2^{\prime}}\right)\).
Substituting the radii, \(\frac{1}{f^{\prime}}=(\mu-1)\left(\frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{\infty}\right)=(\mu-1) \frac{1}{R}\).
From Step 1, we have \(\frac{1}{f}=(\mu-1) \frac{2}{R}\).
From Step 3, we have \(\frac{1}{f^{\prime}}=(\mu-1) \frac{1}{R}\).
Comparing these, we see that \(\frac{1}{f^{\prime}}=\frac{1}{2}\left((\mu-1) \frac{2}{R}\right)=\frac{1}{2 f}\).
Therefore, \(f^{\prime}=2 f\).
The focal length of each half is \(2 f\).
Two lenses of power 15 D and -3 D are placed in contact. The focal length of the combinations is [Kerala CEE 2014]
\(
\begin{aligned}

\because & P=P_1+P_2=15 \mathrm{D}-3 \mathrm{D}=12 \mathrm{D} \\
\therefore & P=\frac{1}{f(\mathrm{~m})} \Rightarrow P=\frac{100}{f(\mathrm{~cm})} \Rightarrow 12=\frac{100}{f}

A luminous object is separated from a screen by distance \(d\). A convex lens is placed between the object and the screen such that it forms a distinct image on the screen. The maximum possible focal length of this convex lens is [WB JEE 2014]
(d) Focal length of a convex lens by displacement method is given as \(f=\frac{a^2-b^2}{4 a}\)
where, \(a=\) distance between the image and object and \(\quad b=\) distance between two positions of lens.
Here, \(a=d\) and to form a distinct image \(b=0\), so the maximum possible focal length is \(d / 4\).
An object is placed 30 cm away from a convex lens of focal length 10 cm and a sharp image is formed on a screen. Now, a concave lens is placed in contact with the convex lens. The screen now has to be moved by 45 cm to get a sharp image again. The magnitude of focal length of the concave lens is (in cm ) [WB JEE 2014]
(d) For the first condition, \(f_1=10 \mathrm{~cm}, u=-30 \mathrm{~cm}\) then
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{1}{f_1}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{10}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{30} \\
& \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{30} \Rightarrow v=\frac{30}{2}=15 \mathrm{~cm}
\end{aligned}
\)
For the second condition, when concave lens is placed,
\(
v^{\prime}=(15+45)=60 \mathrm{~cm} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{v^{\prime}}-\frac{1}{u}
\)
(where, \(F=\) focal length of combination)
\(
\therefore \quad \frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{60}+\frac{1}{30} \Rightarrow F=\frac{60}{3}=20 \mathrm{~cm}
\)
The magnitude of focal length of concave lens,
\(
\frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{f_1}+\frac{1}{f_2} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{20}=\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{f_2}
\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad f_2=-20 \mathrm{~cm} \quad\) (negative sign for concave lens)
A thin glass (refractive index 1.5) lens has optical power of -5 D in air. Its optical power in a liquid medium with refractive index 1.6 will be [UK PMT 2014]
(a) As we know that, from lens Maker’s formula,
\(
\frac{1}{f}=\left(\frac{\mu_2}{\mu_1}-1\right)\left(\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}\right)
\)
As, \(\quad \frac{1}{f}=[latex] power of lens [latex](P)\)
where, \(f=\) focal length,
\(\mu_2\) and \(\mu_1=\) refractive index of 2 nd and 1st medium
\(R_1\) and \(R_2=\) radius of curvature of 1st and 2nd curved surface of lens.
\(
\text { So, for } 1 \text { st case, } P_1=\left(\frac{1.5}{1}-1\right)\left(\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}\right) \dots(i)
\)
As, \(\mu_2=1.5, \mu_1=1\) (air) where, \(P_1=\) power in initial condition.
Now, for 2nd case, \(P_2=\left(\frac{1.5}{1.6}-1\right)\left(\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}\right) \dots(ii)\)
where, \(P_2=\) power in 2nd condition.
On dividing Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
\(
\begin{array}{ll}
& \frac{P_1}{P_2}=\frac{\frac{1.5-1}{1}}{\frac{1.5-1.6}{1.6}}=\frac{0.5 \times 1.6}{-0.1} \\
\Rightarrow & \frac{-5}{P_2}=\frac{-0.8}{0.1}\left(\mathrm{as}, P_1=-5 \mathrm{D}\right) \\
\Rightarrow & P_2=\frac{+5 \times 0.1}{0.8}=\frac{5}{8}=0.625 \mathrm{D}
\end{array}
\)
So, option (a) is close to the calculated value as \(0.625 \approx 1 \mathrm{D}\).
A concave lens of focal length \(f\) forms an image which is \(1 / 3\) times the size of the object. Then, the distance of object from the lens is [EAMCET 2014]

\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { According to the lens formula, }\\
&\begin{array}{ll}
& \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u} \\
\Rightarrow & \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{-(1 / 3) u}+\frac{1}{u}=\frac{-3+1}{u} \\
\Rightarrow & \frac{1}{f}=-\frac{2}{u} \Rightarrow u=2 f

Note: What is a Dioptre? A dioptre (or diopter) is a unit of measurement for the optical power of a lens or curved mirror. It’s defined as the reciprocal of the focal length measured in meters ( \(D=1 / f\) ). A higher dioptre value indicates a stronger lens (shorter focal length).
Astigmatism is corrected by using [Kerala CEE 2014]

The intermediate image formed by the objective of a compound microscope is [WB JEE 2014]
(a) Real, inverted, and magnified. In a compound microscope, the objective lens forms a real, inverted, and magnified image of the object. This intermediate image then acts as the object for the eyepiece, which further magnifies it to form the final virtual image.
An astronomical telescope arranged for normal adjustment has a magnification of 6. If the length of the telescope is 35 cm, then the focal lengths of objective and eyepiece respectively, are [EAMCET 2014]
(a) In normal adjustment, the object and the final image both are at infinity and the separation between the objective and the eyepiece is \(f_o+f_e\).
Thus, \(\quad f_o+f_e=35 \mathrm{~cm} \dots(i)\)
Also, the magnifying power of the telescope in normal adjustment is \(|m|=\frac{f_o}{f_e}=6\) ( \(\because\) given)
\(

(b) Given, length of tube, \(L=30 \mathrm{~cm}\), focal length of objective lens, \(f_o=1 \mathrm{~cm}\), focal length of eyepiece, \(f_e=6 \mathrm{~cm}\) and \(D=25 \mathrm{~cm}\).
For compound microscope, \(m=\frac{L}{f_o}\left(1+\frac{D}{f_e}\right)\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
m & =\frac{30}{1}\left(1+\frac{25}{6}\right)=30 \times \frac{(6+25)}{6} \\

(d) Given, wavelength of light,
\(
\lambda=5000 Ã…=5000 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}=5 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}

Diameter of telescope, \(D=200 \mathrm{~cm}=2 \mathrm{~m}\)
Resolving power of a telescope \(=\frac{1}{d \theta}=\frac{D}{1.22 \lambda}\)
where, \(d \theta=\) limit of resolution,
\(\lambda=\) wavelength of light used
and \(\quad D=\) diameter of aperture of objective.
So,
\(

A person has a minimum distance of distinct vision as 50 cm. The power of lenses required to read a book at a distance of 25 cm is [J & K CET 2013]

A small angled prism of refractive index 1.4 is combined with another small angled prism of refractive index 1.6 to produce dispersion without deviation. If the angle of first prism is \(6^{\circ}\), then the angle of the second prism is [EAMCET 2013]
(c) We know about the thin prism, \(\delta_m=(\mu-1) A\)
In given condition, \(A_1\left(\mu_1-1\right)=A_2\left(\mu_2-1\right)\)
Given, \(\quad \mu_1=1.4, \mu_2=1.6\) and \(A_1=6^{\circ}\)
Now, \(6(1.4-1)=A_2(1.6-1)\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& A_2=\frac{6 \times 0.4}{0.6} \Rightarrow A_2=\frac{2.4}{0.6} \\
& A_2=4^{\circ}

Hence, the angle of the second prism is \(4^{\circ}\).
The magnifying power of the astronomical telescope for normal adjustment is 50 . The focal length of the eyepiece is 2 cm. The required length of the telescope for normal adjustment is [EAMCET 2013]
(a) An astronomical telescope is a refracting type telescope used to see heavenly bodies like stars, planets, satellites, etc. It consists of two converging lenses mounted coaxially at the outer ends of two sliding tubes.
Magnifying power in the normal adjustment is defined as the ratio of the angle subtended at the eye by the final image as seen through the telescope to the angle subtended at the eye by the object seen directly when both image and object are at infinity.
Mathematically,
\(
m=\frac{f_{\circ}}{f_e} \dots(1)
\)
When the beam of light is incident on the objective, it forms a real, inverted, and diminished image of the object in its focal plane. The eyepiece is so adjusted that the image is formed at infinity, and is highly magnified and inverted with respect to the object. This setup is known as the normal adjustment.
For normal adjustment separation between object and image, i.e. the length of the telescope at normal adjustment is:
\(
f_{\circ}+f_e=L \dots(2)
\)
Given:
\(
\mathrm{m}=50 \text { and } f_e=2 \mathrm{~cm}

Substituting the given values in equation (2) & (3) we get:
\(
\begin{aligned}
& f_{\circ}+2 c m=L \dots(3) \\
& \text { and } 50=\frac{f_{\circ}}{f_e} \dots(4)
\end{aligned}
\)
Solving equation (4) we get:
\(
\begin{aligned}
& 50=\frac{f_o}{f_e} \\
& \Rightarrow 50 f_e=f_{\circ} \\
& \text { But } f_e=2 \mathrm{~cm}[\text { given }] \\
& \Rightarrow f_{\circ}=50 \times 2 \mathrm{~cm} \\
& \therefore f_{\circ}=100 \mathrm{~cm}
\end{aligned}
\)
Substituting the calculated value of \(f_0\) in equation (3), we get:
\(
\begin{aligned}
& f_{\circ}+2 \mathrm{~cm}=L \\
& \Rightarrow 100 \mathrm{~cm}+2 \mathrm{~cm}=L \\
& \therefore L=102 \mathrm{~cm}

The speed of light in media \(M_1\) and \(M_2\) are \(1.5 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) and \(2 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\), respectively. A ray travels from medium \(M_1\) to the medium \(M_2\) with an angle of incidence \(\theta\). The ray suffers total internal reflection. Then, the value of the angle of incidence \(\boldsymbol{\theta}\) is [CET 2013]
(a) For total internal reflection, the angle of incidence of light in denser medium must be greater than the critical angle for the pair of media in contact, i.e. \(i>C\).
We have, \(\frac{1}{\sin C}=\frac{v_2}{v_1}\)
Given,
\(

& v_1=1.5 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1} \\
& v_2=2 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1} \\
& C=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{v_1}{v_2}\right)

\)
For total internal reflection
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \text { For total internal reflection, } \theta>C \\
& \therefore \quad \theta>\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{v_1}{v_2}\right) \\
& \Rightarrow \quad \theta>\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1.5 \times 10^8}{2 \times 10^8}\right) \\

For having large magnification power of a compound microscope, [MPPMT 2013]
(c) The magnifying power of a compound microscope is inversely proportional to the focal lengths of the lenses. A shorter focal length means the lens bends light more, resulting in greater magnification. Therefore, both the objective lens and the eyepiece should have short focal lengths to achieve high magnification.
The total magnification of a compound microscope is

Assertion: The resolving power of a telescope is more, if the diameter of the objective lens is more.
Reason: Objective lens of large diameter collects more light. [AIIMS 2012]
(a) Resolving power of telescope \(=\frac{a}{1.22} \lambda\)
where, \(a\) is the diameter of objective lens and \(\lambda\) is the wavelength of light used. It is obvious that on increasing the diameter of objective lens, the amount of light collected by it increases. So, the image formed is more bright. Thus, resolving power of telescope increases.

The diameter of the eye ball of a normal eye is about 2.5 cm. The power of the eye lens varies from [BCECE (Mains) 2012]
(c) An eye see distant objects with full relaxation.
So, \(\quad \frac{1}{2.5 \times 10^{-2}}-\frac{1}{-\infty}=\frac{1}{f}\)
\(
P=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{2.5 \times 10^{-2}}=40 \mathrm{D}

An eye see an object at 25 cm with strain
\(
\begin{array}{ll}
& \frac{1}{2.5 \times 10^{-2}}-\frac{1}{25 \times 10^{-2}}=\frac{1}{f} \\
\therefore & P=\frac{1}{f}=40+4=44 \mathrm{D}

The power of the eye lens varies from 44 D to 40 D.
Two thin lenses when placed in contact, then the power of combination is +10 D. If they are kept 0.25 m apart, then the power reduces to +6 D. The focal lengths of the lenses (in m ) will be [BCECE (Mains) 2012]

If the image formed by a convex mirror of focal length 30 cm is a quarter of the size of the object, then the distance of the object from the mirror will be [BHU 2012]

In a compound microscope, the focal length of the objective is 2.5 cm and of eye lens is 5 cm. If an object is placed at 3.75 cm before the objective and the image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision, then the distance between two lenses will be [BHU 2012]
(a) For objective lens,
\(
\frac{1}{f_o}=\frac{1}{v_o}-\frac{1}{u_o}
\)
Using proper sign convention,
\(
\begin{array}{rlrl}
& \frac{1}{+2.5} =\frac{1}{v_o}-\frac{1}{(-3.75)} \\
\Rightarrow & v_o =7.5 \mathrm{~cm}
\end{array}
\)
For eye lens, \(\frac{1}{f_e}=\frac{1}{v_e}-\frac{1}{u_e}\)
\(
\begin{array}{rlrl}
\frac{1}{+5} & =\frac{1}{(-25)}-\frac{1}{u_e} \\
\Rightarrow \quad & u_e =-4.16 \mathrm{~cm} \text { or }\left|u_e\right|=4.16 \mathrm{~cm}

An object is placed at a distance of 10 cm from a co-axial combination of two lenses \(A\) and \(B\) in contact. The combination forms a real image three times the size of the object. If lens \(B\) is concave with a focal length of 30 cm, then the nature and focal length of lens \(A\) is [AMU 2012]

Hence, lens \(A\) is convex lens.
White light is incident on face \(A B\) of a glass prism. The path of the green component is shown in the figure. If the green light is just totally internally reflected at face \(A C\) as shown, then the light emerging from face \(A C\) will contain [AMU 2012]
(a) If green light is just totally internally reflected at face AC of the prism, the light emerging from face \(A C\) will contain yellow, orange, and red light. This is because the refractive index of the prism material is higher for shorter wavelengths (like green, blue, violet) than for longer wavelengths (like yellow, orange, red). Since the green light is at the critical angle for total internal reflection, shorter wavelengths (like violet, indigo, blue) will also be totally internally reflected, while longer wavelengths (like yellow, orange, red) will have a larger angle of incidence and will be refracted out of the prism.
Explanation:
For total internal reflection to take place, the two basic conditions are:
1. The ray should travel from denser to rare medium.
2. The angle of incidence must be greater than the critical angle.
As for green light, total internal reflection takes place.
So, only for those colors of light, total internal reflection will take place corresponding to when the critical angle is less than that of green light.
Now, as we know that
Velocity, \(v=\) frequency \(\times\) wavelength
\(
v=f \lambda
\)
So, \(v \propto \lambda \dots(1)\)
And the refractive index, \(\mu=\frac{i}{v}\)
i.e. \(\mu \propto \frac{1}{v} \dots(2)\)
So, from (1) and (2)
\(\mu \propto \frac{1}{\lambda} \dots(3)\).
Also, \(\sin i_c=\frac{1}{\mu}\) or \(\sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{\mu}\)
i.e. \(i_c \propto \frac{1}{\mu} \dots(4)\)
Where \(i_c\) is critical angle
So, from (3) and (4), we have \(i_c \propto \lambda\)
Which means more the wavelength,
More will be critical angle as \(\lambda\) (Red) \(>\lambda\) (Green) \(>\lambda\) (Blue)
\(\Rightarrow i_c\) (Red) \(>i_c\) (Green) \(>i_c\) (Blue)
i.e. yellow, orange and red will not suffer Total internal reflection.
