Ray Optics and Optical Instruments · Question 26

The size of the images of an object, formed by a thin lens are equal when the object is placed at two different positions 8 cm and 24 cm from the lens. The focal length of the lens is cm.

A thin convex lens of focal length 5 cm and a thin concave lens of focal length 4 cm are combined together (without any gap) and this combination has magnification m1 when an object is placed 10 cm before the convex lens. Keeping the positions of convex lens and object undisturbed a gap of 1 cm is introduced between the lenses by moving the concave lens away, which leads to a change in magnification of total lens system to m2. The value of | m1m2 | is .

Consider an equilateral prism (refractive index 2). A ray of light is incident on its one surface at a certain angle i. If the emergent ray is found to graze along the other surface then the angle of refraction at the incident surface is close to

A parallel beam of light travelling in air (refractive index 1.0) is incident on a convex spherical glass surface of radius of curvature 50 cm. Refractive index of glass is 1.5. The rays converge to a point at a distance x cm from the centre of curvature of the spherical surface. The value of x is cm.

The wavelength of light, while it is passing through water is 540 nm. The refractive index of water is 4/3. The wavelength of the same light when it is passing through a transparent medium having refractive index of 3/2 is nm.

In a microscope the objective is having focal length fo = 2 cm and eye-piece is having focal length fe = 4 cm. The tube length is 32 cm. The magnification produced by this microscope for normal adjustment is .

A collimated beam of light of diameter 2 mm is propagating along x-axis. The beam is required to be expanded in a collimated beam of diameter 14 mm using a system of two convex lenses. If first lens has focal length 40 mm, then the focal length of second lens is mm.

As shown in the diagram, when the incident ray is parallel to base of the prism, the emergent ray grazes along the second surface. [figure] If refractive index of the material of prism is 2, the angle of prism is.
