Suppose that the lower half of the concave mirror’s reflecting surface in the given figure is covered with an opaque (non-reflective) material. What effect will this have on the image of an object placed in front of the mirror?

            

1. the image will show only half of the object
2. the image will show the whole of the object
3. the intensity of the image will be low
4. both (2) and (3)

A ray of light passes through three parallel media, with the angles of incidence and emergence as shown in the figure. The refractive indices of the media are \(\mu_{1}\) = 1, \(\mu_{2}\) and \(\mu_{3}\).
                
Then:
1. \(\mu_{2}=\frac{1}{3},~\mu_{3}=\frac{1}{2}\)    2. \(\mu_{2}=3,~\mu_{3}=\frac{3}{2}\)   
3. \(\mu_{2}=\frac{1}{3},~\mu_{3}=\frac{2}{3}\) 4. \(\mu_{2}=3,~\mu_{3}=2\)

An empty cylindrical beaker whose height is equal to its diameter is kept on a table. An observer's eye\((E)\) looking towards \(S\) (line of sight: \(ES\)) can see the point \(Q\) on the lower right. The angle of view, \(\theta,\) is the angle the line of sight \(ES,\) makes with the vertical \(RS\)-extended. A transparent liquid is now slowly poured into the beaker. As the liquid level rises in the beaker, the line of sight has to be continually adjusted (by increasing angle \(\theta\)) in order to keep \(Q\) visible. When the liquid fills the beaker to the brim, \(Q\) can no more be seen by adjusting the line of sight \(ES. \) The minimum refractive index of the liquid should be:
                 

1.  \(\frac32\)
2.  \(2\)
3.  \(\sqrt{\frac32} \)
4.  \(\sqrt2\)
