The radii of curvature for a thin convex lens are 10 cm and 15 cm respectively. The focal length of the lens is 12 cm. The refractive index of the lens material is

  1. 1.4
  2. 1.8
  3. 1.5
  4. 1.2

Answer

(3) 1.5

Solution

For a biconvex lens: R1 = +10 cm, R2 = -15 cm, f = +12 cm

Lens maker's formula: 1f = ( - 1) ( 1R1 - 1R2 )

112 = ( - 1) ( 110 + 115 ) = - 16

- 1 = 0.5

= 1.5

Two light beams fall on a transparent material block at point 1 and 2 with angle 1 and 2, respectively, as shown in figure. After refraction, the beams intersect at point 3 which is exactly on the interface at other end of the block. Given : the distance between 1 and 2, d = 4 3 cm and 1 = 2 = -1 ( n22n1 ), where refractive index of the block n2 > refractive index of the outside medium n1, then the thickness of the block is cm.

At the interface between two materials having refractive indices n1 and n2, the critical angle for reflection of an em wave is 1C. The n2 material is replaced by another material having refractive index n3 such that the critical angle at the interface between n1 and n3 materials is 2C. If n3 > n2 > n1; n2n3 = 25 and 2C - 1C = 12, then 1C is :

  1. -1 ( 16n1 )
  2. -1 ( 13n1 )
  3. -1 ( 56n1 )
  4. -1 ( 23n1 )
