An astronomical telescope has an objective and an eyepiece of focal lengths \(40​​\text{cm}\) and \(4​​\text{cm}\) respectively. To view an object \(200​​\text{cm}\) away from the objective, the lenses must be separated by a distance:
1. \(46.0​​\text{cm}\) 2. \(50.0​​\text{cm}\)
3. \(54.0​​\text{cm}\) 4. \(37.3​​\text{cm}\)

The angle of incidence for a ray of light at a refracting surface of a prism is \(45^{\circ}\). The angle of the prism is \(60^{\circ}\). If the ray suffers minimum deviation through the prism, the angle of minimum deviation and refractive index of the material of the prism respectively, are:
1. \(45^{0},~\sqrt{2}\) 2. \(30^{0},~\sqrt{2}\)
3. \(30^{0},~\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) 4. \(45^{0},~\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)

In an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment, a straight line of length \(L\) is drawn on the inside part of the objective lens. The eye-piece forms a real image of this line. The length of this image is \(l.\) The magnification of the telescope is:
1. \(\frac{L}{l}+1\)
2. \(\frac{L}{l}-1\)
3. \(\frac{L+1}{l-1}\)
4. \(\frac{L}{l}\)

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 red, green, and blue wavelengths is \(1.39,\) \(1.44,\) and \(1.47\) respectively. 
   
The prism will:
1. separate the blue colour part from the red and green colour.
2. separate all three colours from one another.
3. not separate the three colours at all.
4. separate the red colour part from the green and blue colours.

A plano-convex lens fits exactly into a plano-concave lens. Their plane surfaces are parallel to each other. If lenses are made of different materials of refractive indices \(\mu_1\) and \(\mu_2\) and \(R\) is the radius of curvature of the curved surface of the lenses, then the focal length of the combination is:
1. \(\dfrac{R}{2(\mu_1-\mu_2)}\) 2. \(\dfrac{R}{(\mu_1-\mu_2)}\)
3. \(\dfrac{2R}{(\mu_2-\mu_1)}\) 4. \(\dfrac{R}{2(\mu_1+\mu_2)}\)

For a normal eye, the cornea of the eye provides a converging power of \(40~\text{D}\) and the least converging power of the eye lens behind the cornea is \(20~\text{D}\). Using this information, the distance between the retina and the cornea-eye lens can be estimated to be:
1. \(2.5~\text{cm}\)
2. \(1.67~\text{cm}\)
3. \(1.5~\text{cm}\)
4. \(5~\text{cm}\)
