The ratio of resolving powers of an optical microscope for two wavelengths $${\lambda _1} = 4000\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ $$ and $${\lambda _2} = 6000\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ $$ is
A
$$8:27$$
B
$$9:4$$
C
$$3:2$$
D
$$16:81$$
Answer :
$$3:2$$
As, resolving power of a microscope,
$$\eqalign{
& \left( {RP} \right) \propto \frac{1}{{\lambda \left( {{\text{wavelength}}} \right)}} \cr
& \therefore \frac{{R{P_1}}}{{R{P_2}}} = \frac{{{\lambda _2}}}{{{\lambda _1}}} = \frac{{6000}}{{4000}} = \frac{3}{2} \cr} $$

The size of the image of an object, which is at infinity, as formed by a convex lens of focal length $$30\,cm$$ is $$2\,cm.$$ If a concave lens of focal length $$20\,cm$$ is placed between the convex lens and the image at a distance of $$26\,cm$$ from the convex lens, calculate the new size of the image.
A
$$\frac{d}{2}$$
B
$$d$$
C
$$2\,d$$
D
$$3\,d$$
Answer :
$$d$$
Convex lens forms the image at $${I_1}.$$ $${I_1}$$ is at the second focus of convex lens. Size of $${I_1}$$ $$= 2cm.$$
$${I_1}$$ acts as virtual object for concave lens. Concave lens forms the image of $${I_1}$$ and $${I_2}.$$
For concave lens,
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{4} = - \frac{1}{{20}}\,\,{\text{or }}\frac{1}{v} = - \frac{1}{{20}} + \frac{1}{4} \cr
& = \frac{4}{{20}} \cr
& = \frac{1}{5} \cr} $$
or $$v$$ = $$5cm$$ = Distance of $${I_2}$$ from concave lens.
∴ Magnification $$ = \frac{v}{u} = \frac{{{\text{size of image}}}}{{{\text{size of object}}}} = \frac{5}{4}$$
or $$\frac{{{\text{size of image}}}}{2} = 1.25$$
or size of image due to concave lens = $$2.5\,cm$$

When a ray of light enters a glass slab from air,
A
Its wavelength decreases.
B
Its wavelength increases.
C
Its frequency decreases.
D
neither its wavelength nor its frequency changes.
Answer :
Its wavelength decreases.
NOTE :
When the ray enters a glass slab from air, its frequency remains unchanged.
Since glass slab in an optically denser medium, the velocity of light decreases and therefore we can conclude that the wavelength decreases.

Focal length of a convex lens of refractive index 1.5 is $$2\,cm.$$ Focal length of lens when immersed in a liquid of refractive index 1.25 will be
A
$$10\,cm$$
B
$$2.5\,cm$$
C
$$5\,cm$$
D
$$7.5\,cm$$
Answer :
$$5\,cm$$
Focal length of convex lens in air is given by
$$\frac{1}{{{f_a}}} = \left( {_a{\mu _g} - 1} \right)\left( {\frac{1}{{{R_1}}} - \frac{1}{{{R_2}}}} \right)\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
Focal length of convex lens when immersed in liquid of refractive index $${\mu _l}$$ is given by
$$\frac{1}{{{f_l}}} = \left( {_l{\mu _g} - 1} \right)\left( {\frac{1}{{{R_1}}} - \frac{1}{{{R_2}}}} \right)$$
$${_l{\mu _g}} = $$ refractive index of glass w.r.t. liquid
$${R_1}{R_2} = $$ radius of curvature of lens spherical surface
$${\text{or}}\,\,\frac{1}{{{f_l}}} = \left( {\frac{{{\mu _g}}}{{{\mu _l}}} - 1} \right)\left( {\frac{1}{{{R_1}}} - \frac{1}{{{R_2}}}} \right)\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)$$
From Eqs. (i) and (ii),
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{\frac{1}{{{f_a}}}}}{{\frac{1}{{{f_l}}}}} = \frac{{\left( {{\mu _g} - 1} \right)}}{{\left( {\frac{{{\mu _g}}}{{{\mu _l}}} - 1} \right)}} \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,\frac{{{f_l}}}{{{f_a}}} = \frac{{\left( {{\mu _g} - 1} \right)}}{{\left( {\frac{{{\mu _g}}}{{{\mu _l}}} - 1} \right)}} \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,\frac{{{f_l}}}{{{f_a}}} = \frac{{\left( {1.5 - 1} \right)}}{{\left( {\frac{{1.5}}{{1.25}} - 1} \right)}} \cr
& = \frac{{\frac{1}{2}}}{{\frac{1}{5}}} = \frac{5}{2} \cr
& \therefore {f_l} = \frac{5}{2}{f_a} = \frac{5}{2} \times 2 = 5\,cm \cr} $$

A person walks at a velocity $$v$$ in a straight line forming an angle $$\alpha $$ with the plane of a plane mirror. Determine the velocity $${v_{{\text{rel}}}}$$ at which he approaches his image, assuming that the object and its image are symmetric relative to the plane of the mirror.
A
$$2v\sin \,\alpha $$
B
$$2v\cos \,\alpha $$
C
$$v\sin \,\alpha $$
D
$$v\cos \,\alpha $$
Answer :
$$2v\sin \,\alpha $$
We resolve the velocity vector $${\vec v}$$ of the person into two components, one parallel to the mirror, $${{\vec v}_{\left\| {} \right.}}$$ and the other perpendicular to the mirror, $${{\vec v}_ \bot },$$ i.e. $$\vec v = {{\vec v}_{\left\| {} \right.}} + {{\vec v}_ \bot }$$ (figure).
The velocity of the image will obviously be $$\vec v' = {{\vec v}_{\left\| {} \right.}} + {{\vec v}_ \bot }.$$ Therefore, the velocity at which the person approaches his image is defined as his velocity relative to the image. From the formula $${v_{{\text{rel}}}} = 2{{\vec v}_ \bot } = 2v\sin \alpha .$$

A thin convex lens of focal length $$10\,cm$$ and refractive index 1.5 is cut vertically into two equal pieces. They are placed as shown with a liquid of refractive index 3 between them. What is the focal length of the combination?
99.
A small object is placed $$50\,cm$$ to the left of a thin convex lens of focal length $$30\,cm.$$ A convex spherical mirror of radius of curvature $$100\,cm$$ is placed to the right of the lens at a distance of $$50\,cm.$$ The mirror is tilted such that the axis of the mirror is at an angle $$\theta = {30^ \circ }$$ to the axis of the lens, as shown in the figure.
If the origin of the coordinate system is taken to be at the centre of the lens, the coordinates (in $$cm$$ ) of the point $$(x, y)$$ at which the image is formed are
A
$$\left( {0,0} \right)$$
B
$$\left( {50 - 25\sqrt 3 ,25} \right)$$
C
$$\left( {25, 25\sqrt 3} \right)$$
D
$$\left( {\frac{{125}}{3},25\sqrt 3 } \right)$$
Answer :
$$\left( {25, 25\sqrt 3} \right)$$
For lens $$\frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f}$$
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{{ - 50}} = \frac{1}{{30}} \cr
& \therefore \,\,v = 75\,cm \cr} $$
Therefore object distance for mirror is $$25cm$$ and object is virtual
For mirror $$\frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f}$$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore \,\,\frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{{25}} = \frac{1}{{50}} \cr
& \therefore \,\,v = - 50\,cm \cr} $$
The image $$I$$ would have formed as shown had the mirror been straight. But here the mirror is tilted by 30°.
Therefore the image will be tilted by 60° and will be formed at $$A.$$
Here $$MA = 50\,\cos {60^ \circ } = 25\,cm$$
and $$I'A = 50\,\sin {60^ \circ } = 25\sqrt 3\, cm$$

A concave mirror of focal length $${f_1}$$ is placed at a distance of $$d$$ from a convex lens of focal length $${f_2}.$$ A beam of light coming from infinity and falling on this convex lens- concave mirror combination returns to infinity. The distance $$d$$ must be equal
A
$${f_1} + {f_2}$$
B
$$ - {f_1} + {f_2}$$
C
$$2{f_1} + {f_2}$$
D
$$ - 2{f_1} + {f_2}$$
Answer :
$$2{f_1} + {f_2}$$
According to question, the ray diagram will be
So, distance $$d$$ between convex lens and concave mirror is given by
$$d = 2{f_1} + {f_2}$$
