A student traces the path of a ray of light through a rectangular glass slab for the different values of angle of incidence. He observes all possible precautions at each step of the experiment. At the end of the experiment, on analyzing the measurements, which of the following conclusions is he likely to draw?

  • angle straight i space equals space angle straight e space less than thin space angle straight r
  • angle straight i space less than thin space angle straight e space less than angle straight r
  • angle straight i space greater than space angle straight e space greater than space angle straight r
  • angle straight i space equals space angle straight e space greater than angle straight r

Solution

A.

angle straight i space equals space angle straight e space less than thin space angle straight r

The incident rays after passing through the lens converge at the focus. So, the device 'X' is a converging or a convex lens. The distance between the lens and the screen gives the focal length of the lens.
