A container is filled with water $$\left( {\mu = 1.33} \right)$$ upto a height of $$33.25\,cm.$$ A concave mirror is placed $$15\,cm$$ above the water level and the image of an object placed at the bottom is formed $$25\,cm$$ below the water level. Focal length of the mirror is
A
$$15\,cm$$
B
$$20\,cm$$
C
$$ - 18.31\,cm$$
D
$$10\,cm$$
Answer :
$$ - 18.31\,cm$$
The image $$I'$$ for first refraction (i.e., when the ray comes out of liquid) is at a depth of
$$ = \frac{{33.25}}{{1.33}} = 25\,cm\,\,\left[ {\because \,\,{\text{Apparent depth = }}\frac{{{\text{Real depth}}}}{\mu }} \right]$$
Now, reflection will occur at concave mirror. For this $$I'$$ behaves as an object.
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore \,\,u = - \left( {15 + 25} \right) = - 40\,cm \cr
& {\text{and }}v = - \left[ {15 + \frac{{25}}{{1.33}}} \right] \cr} $$
Where $${\frac{{25}}{{1.33}}}$$ is the real depth of the image.
Using mirror formula we get
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u}, \cr
& f = - 18.31\,cm \cr} $$

Pick out the longest wavelength from the following types of radiations
A
blue light
B
gamma rays
C
X-rays
D
red light
Answer :
red light
Gamma rays have wavelength range $$6 \times {10^{ - 14}}m$$ to $$1 \times {10^{ - 10}}m,$$ X-rays have wavelength range $$1 \times {10^{ - 13}}m$$ to $$3 \times {10^{ - 8}}m.$$ Blue light and red. light lies in visible range of spectrum which extends from $$4000\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ $$ to $$7800\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ .$$ Hence, wavelength of red light is longest.

A diver looking up through the water sees the outside world contained in a circular horizon. The refractive index of water is $$\frac{4}{3},$$ and the diver’s eyes are $$15\,cm$$ below the surface of water. Then the radius of the circle is :

A luminous object is placed at a distance of $$30\,cm$$ from the convex lens of focal length $$20\,cm.$$ On the other side of the lens, at what distance from the lens, a convex mirror of radius of curvature $$10\,cm,$$ be placed in order to have an upright image of the object coincident with it ?
A
$$12\,cm$$
B
$$30\,cm$$
C
$$50\,cm$$
D
$$60\,cm$$
Answer :
$$50\,cm$$
The ray diagram for the problem is shown as follows
According to lens formula, $$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u}$$
We have $$u = - 30\,cm,f = 20\,cm$$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore \frac{1}{{20}} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{{ - 30}} \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{{20}} - \frac{1}{{30}} = \frac{{3 - 2}}{{60}} = \frac{1}{{60}} \cr
& \therefore v = 60\,cm \cr} $$
For the image $$\left( I \right)$$ coincident with object $$\left( O \right),$$ the rays after refraction from the lens must fall on the convex mirror normally or the rays refracted from lens must meet at $$C.$$
$$\therefore LC = v = 60\,cm$$
Thus, distance between lens and mirror
$$LM = 60 - 10 = 50\,cm$$

The angular resolution of a $$10\,cm$$ diameter telescope at a wavelength of $$5000\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ $$ is of the order of

In an experiment for determination of refractive index of glass of a prism by $$i - \delta ,$$ plot it was found that a ray incident at angle 35°, suffers a deviation of 40° and that it emerges at angle 79°. In that case which of the following is closest to the maximum possible value of the refractive index?
A
1.7
B
1.8
C
1.5
D
1.6
Answer :
1.5
We know that $$i + e - A = \delta $$
$$\eqalign{
& {35^ \circ } + {79^ \circ } - A = {40^ \circ } \cr
& \therefore \,\,A = {74^ \circ } \cr} $$
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{But, }}\mu = \frac{{\sin \left( {\frac{{A + {\delta _m}}}{2}} \right)}}{{\frac{{\sin A}}{2}}} \cr
& = \frac{{\sin \left( {\frac{{74 + {\delta _m}}}{2}} \right)}}{{\sin \frac{{74}}{2}}} \cr
& = \frac{5}{3}\sin \left( {{{37}^ \circ } + \frac{{{\delta _m}}}{2}} \right) \cr} $$
$${\mu _{\max }}$$ can be $$\frac{5}{3}.$$ That is $${\mu _{\max }}$$ is less than $$\frac{5}{3}$$ $$ = 1.67$$
But $${{\delta _m}}$$ will be less than 40° so
$$\eqalign{
& \mu < \frac{5}{3}\sin {57^ \circ } < \frac{5}{3}\sin {60^ \circ } \cr
& \Rightarrow \,\,\mu = 1.45 \cr} $$

In a compound microscope, the intermediate image is
A
virtual, erect and magnified

In an experiment to determine the focal length $$(f)$$ of a concave mirror by the $$u - v$$ method, a student places the object pin $$A$$ on the principal axis at a distance $$x$$ from the pole $$P.$$ The student looks at the pin and its inverted image from a distance keeping his/her eye in line with $$PA.$$ When the student shifts his/her eye towards left, the image appears to the right of the object pin. Then,
A
$$x < f$$
B
$$f < x < 2\,f$$
C
$$x = 2\,f$$
D
$$x > 2\,f$$
Answer :
$$f < x < 2\,f$$
As shown in the figure, when the object $$(A)$$ is placed between $$F$$ and $$C,$$ the image $$(I)$$ is formed beyond $$C.$$ It is in this condition that when the student shifts his eyes towards left, the image appears to the right of the object pin. (Image distance > object distance)

When a biconvex lens of glass having refractive index 1.47 is dipped in a liquid, it acts as a plane sheet of glass. This implies that the liquid must have refractive index
A
equal to that of glass
B
less than one
C
greater than that of glass
D
less than that of glass
Answer :
equal to that of glass
If biconvex lens behaves like a plane sheet of glass, ray will pass undeviated through it only when medium has same refractive index as that of biconvex lens.
