1. | \(n>\sqrt{2}\) | 2. | \(1.0\) |
3. | \(1.3\) | 4. | \(1.4\) |
A tall man, of height \(6\) feet, wants to see his full image. The required minimum length of the mirror will be:
1. | \(12\) feet | 2. | \(3\) feet |
3. | \(6\) feet | 4. | Any length |
1. | Two points propagating in two different parallel directions |
2. | One point propagating in two different directions through the slab |
3. | One point propagating in the same direction through the slab |
4. | Two points propagating in two different non-parallel directions |
The refractive index of the material of a prism is and its refracting angle is \(30^{\circ}\). One of the refracting surfaces of the prism is made a mirror inwards. A beam of monochromatic light entering the prism from the other face will retrace its path after reflection from the mirrored surface if its angle of incidence on the prism is:
1. | \(60^{\circ}\) | 2. | \(0^{\circ}\) |
3. | \(30^{\circ}\) | 4. | \(45^{\circ}\) |
For the given incident ray as shown in the figure, in the condition of the total internal reflection of this ray, the minimum refractive index of the prism will be:
1. | \(\dfrac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{2}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{\sqrt{2} + 1}{2}\) |
3. | \(\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{2}}\) | 4. | \(\sqrt{\dfrac{7}{6}}\) |
1. | Only \(\frac{d}{4}\) |
2. | Only \(\frac{d}{2}\) |
3. | More than \(\frac{d}{4}\) but less than \(\frac{d}{2}\) |
4. | Less than or equal to \(\frac{d}{4}\) |
In a compound microscope, the magnification is \(95\), the distance of the object from the objective lens is \(\frac{1}{3.8}~\text{cm}\) and the focal length of the objective is \(\frac{1}{4}~\text{cm}\). What is the magnification of the eyepiece when the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision?
1. | \(5\) | 2. | \(10\) |
3. | \(100\) | 4. | none of the above |
1. | become zero. |
2. | become infinite. |
3. | become small, but non-zero. |
4. | remain unchanged. |
1. | \(f' = f,f'' =2f\) | 2. | \(f' = 2f, f''=f\) |
3. | \(f' =f, f''=f\) | 4. | \(f'=2f, f''=2f\) |
A plane convex lens \((\mu= 1.5)\) has a radius of curvature \(10~\text{cm}\). It is silvered on its plane surface. The focal length of the lens after silvering is:
1. | \(10\) cm | 2. | \(20\) cm |
3. | \(15\) cm | 4. | \(25\) cm |
