The angle of incidence for a ray of light at a refracting surface of a prism is 45°. The angle of prism is 60°. If the ray suffers minimum deviation through the prism, the angle of deviation and refracting index of the material of the prism respectively are
1. 30°,
2. 45°,
3. 30°,
4. 45°,
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. \(\frac{A}{2\mu}\)
The refractive index of the material of a prism is \(\sqrt{2}\) and the angle of the prism is \(30^\circ.\) One of the two refracting surfaces of the prism is made a mirror inwards with a silver coating. A beam of monochromatic light entering the prism from the other face will retrace its path (after reflection from the silvered surface) if the angle of incidence on the prism is:
1. | \(60^\circ\) | 2. | \(45^\circ\) |
3. | \(30^\circ\) | 4. | zero |
1. | \(30~\text{cm}\) away from the mirror. |
2. | \(36~\text{cm}\) away from the mirror. |
3. | \(30~\text{cm}\) towards the mirror. |
4. | \(36~\text{cm}\) towards the mirror. |
A beam of light from a source \(L\) is incident normally on a plane mirror fixed at a certain distance \(x\) from the source. The beam is reflected back as a spot on a scale placed just above the source \(L.\) When the mirror is rotated through a small angle \(\theta,\) the spot of the light is found to move through a distance \(y\) on the scale. The angle \(\theta\) is given by:
1. | \(\dfrac{y}{x}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{x}{2y}\) |
3. | \(\dfrac{x}{y}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{y}{2x}\) |
A thin prism having refracting angle \(10^\circ\) is made of glass of a refractive index \(1.42\). This prism is combined with another thin prism of glass with a refractive index \(1.7\). This combination produces dispersion without deviation. The refracting angle of the second prism should be:
1. \(6^{\circ}\)
2. \(8^{\circ}\)
3. \(10^{\circ}\)
4. \(4^{\circ}\)
An air bubble in a glass slab with a refractive index \(1.5\) (near-normal incidence) is \(5~\text{cm}\) deep when viewed from one surface and \(3~\text{cm}\) deep when viewed from the opposite surface. The thickness (in \(\text{cm}\)) of the slab is:
1. | \(8\) | 2. | \(10\) |
3. | \(12\) | 4. | \(16\) |
