- According to Cartesian sign convention the heights measured
a. leftwards with respect to x-axis and normal to the principal axis (x-axis) of the mirror/lens are taken as positive b. downwards with respect to x-axis and normal to the principal axis (x-axis) of the mirror/lens are taken as positive c. rightwards with respect to x-axis and normal to the principal axis (x-axis) of the mirror/lens are taken as positive d. upwards with respect to principal axis (x-axis) and normal to the principal axis (x- axis) of the mirror/lens are taken as positive

- Write down expression for its magnifying power.
- Write the relation for the refractive index of the prism in terms of the angle of minimum deviation and the angle A of prism.
- Draw a labeled ray diagram of a reflecting type telescope. Write its any one advantage over refracting type telescope.
- How does the power of a convex lens vary, if the incident red light replaced by violet light?
- A ray of light incident at 49° on the face of an equilateral prism passes symmetrically. Calculate the refractive index of the material of the prism.
- The near point of a hypemetropic person is 50 cm from the eye. What is the power of the lens required to enable the person to read clearly a book held at 25 cm from the eye?
- Two thin lenses, both of 10 cm focal length one convex and other concave, are placed 5 cm apart. An object is placed 20 cm in front of the convex lens. Find the nature and position of the final image.
- A prism is found to give a minimum deviation of 51°. The same prism gives a deviation of
62°48' for two values of the angles of incidence, namely, 46°6' and 82°42'. Determine the refractive angle of the prism and the refractive index of its material.
- d. sin(incidence angle) > , n 21 =refractive index of medium 2 w.r.t. medium
Explanation: n 21 = refractive index of medium 2 w.r.t. medium 1
According to Snell's law, When i = c, r = 90° Hence sinc = For TIR to take place, i > c hence sin i > sinc (i.e. )
Given Number of images = infinite
When the incident violet light is replaced with red light, the angle of minimum deviation of a glass decreases.
- Magnifying power,
- The ray diagram of a reflecting type telescope is shown below:
Since a reflecting telescope has mirror objective, the image formed is free from chromatic aberration.
- By the lens maker's formula
Power of lens
Power of the lens will be increased.
- As the prism is an equilateral one, A = 60°. Since the ray of light passes symmetrically, the prism is in the position of minimum deviation. So, Also i = 49°
or
- Given, u = -25cm, v = -50 cm, f =? Using lens formula,
f = 50 cm
Hence, the corrective lens is convex.
u = + 15 cm v =? , f = -10cm Using lens formula, we have
v = -30 cm Hence, the final image is virtual and is located at 30 cm to the left of the concave lens.
- The incident ray is deviated through when angle i = 40o6'. From the principle of reversibility of light, it is clear from the figure that the emergent ray (for which angle e = 82o42') is also deviated through the same angle. Now,
or
or A = 60° which is the refractive angle of the prism. For minimum deviation, i = e Hence, or
Which is the angle of incidence at minimum deviation? The refractive index of the material of the prism is given by
or or
