A beam of light consisting of red, green and blue colours is incident on a right-angled prism. The refractive index of the material of the prism for the above red, green and blue wavelength are 1.39, 1.44 nd 1.47


WiredFaculty
The Prism will

  • separate the blue colour part from the red and green colours

  • separate all the three colours from one another

  • not separate the three colours at all

  • separate the red colour part from the green and blue colours

Solution

D.

separate the red colour part from the green and blue colours

For refractive index of a index.
straight mu space equals space fraction numerator 1 over denominator sin space straight i subscript straight c end fraction space equals space fraction numerator 1 over denominator sin space 45 to the power of straight o end fraction space equals space square root of 2

A beam of light from a source L is incident normally on a plane mirror fixed at a certain distance x from the source. The beam is reflected back as a spot on a scale placed just above the source L. When the mirror is rotated through a small angle θ, the spot of the light is found to move through a distance y on the scale. The angle θ is given by

  • y/2x

  • y/x

  • 2y/x

  • y/x

Solution

A.

y/2x

When the mirror is rotated by θ angle reflected ray will be rotated by 2θ.
WiredFaculty
y/x = 2θ

θ = y/2x

A biconvex lens has a radius of curvature of magnitude 20 cm. Which one of the following options describes best the image formed on an object of height 2 cm placed 30 cm from the lens?

  • Virtual, upright, height = 0.5 cm

  • Real, invented, height = 4 cm

  • Real, inverted, height = 1 cm

  • Virtual, upright, height = 1 cm

Solution

B.

Real, invented, height = 4 cm

WiredFaculty
Here, image is real, inverted, magnified field and height of image is 4 cm

A concave mirror of focal length f1 is placed at a distance of d from a convex lens of focal length f2. 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

  • f1 +f2

  • -f1 +f2

  • 2f1+f2

  • -2f1 +f2

Solution

C.

2f1+f2

d= 2f1 +f2

A conversing beam of rays is incident on a diverging lens. Having passed though the lens the rays intersect at a point 15 cm from the lens on the opposite side. If the lens is removed the point where the rays meets will moves 5 cm closer to the lens. The focal length of the lens is 

  • -10 cm

  • 20 cm

  • -30 cm

  • 5 cm

Solution

C.

-30 cm

Given u = 10 cm, v = 15 cm
