For a normal eye, the cornea of eye provides a converging power of 40 D and the least converging power of the eye lens behind the cornea is 20 D. Using this information, the distance between the retina and the cornea-eye lens can be estimated to be

1. 5 cm
2. 25 cm
3. 1.67 cm
4. 1.5 cm

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 

1. equal to that of glass

2. less than one

3. greater than that of glass 

4. less than that of glass

A ray of light is incident at an angle of incidence, \(i\), on one face of a prism of angle A (assumed to be small) and emerges normally from the opposite face. If the refractive index of the prism is \(\mu\), the angle of incidence \(i\), is nearly equal to:
1. \(\mu A\)  
2. \(\dfrac{\mu A}{2}\) 
3. \(\frac{A}{\mu}\)
4. \(\frac{A}{2\mu}\)                                 

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 to-

1. ${\mathrm{ f}}_1+f_2$                                 

2.$$ f₁+f₂

3.$\mathrm{ \; 2}{f}_1+f_2$                               

4.$-2f_1+f_2$

The magnifying power of a telescope is 9. When it is adjusted for parallel rays the distance between the objective and eyepiece is 20cm. The focal length of lenses are 

1. 10cm,10cm

2. 15cm,5cm

3. 18cm,2cm

4. 11cm,9cm

For the angle of minimum deviation of a prism to be equal to its refracting angle, the prism must be made of a material whose refractive index

1. lies between $\sqrt{2}$ and 1

2. lies between 2 and $\sqrt{2}$

3. is less than 1

4. is greater than 2

Which of the following is not due to total internal reflection?

(2) Mirage on hot summer days

(3) Brilliance of diamond

(4) Working of optical fibre

A ray of light traveling in a transparent medium of refractive index $\mu$ falls, on a surface separating the medium from the air at an angle of incidence of 45$°$. For which of the following values of $\mu$ the ray can undergo total internal reflection?

1. $\mu =1.33$                             

2. $\mu =1.40$

3. $\mu =1.50$                             

4. $\mu =1.25$
