Light is incident normally on face AB of a prism as shown in figure. A liquid of refractive index $\mathrm{\mu }$ is placed on face AC of the prism. The prism is made of glass of refractive index 3/2. The limits of $\mathrm{\mu }$ for which total internal reflection cannot take place on face AC is -

1. $\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{4}>\mu >\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

2. $\mu \mathit{<}\frac{\mathit{3}\sqrt{3}}{4}$

3. $\mu \mathit{>}\sqrt{\mathit{3}}$

4. $\mu \mathit{<}\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

We have two equilateral prisms A and B. They are made of materials having refractive index 1.5 and 1.6. For minimum deviation, incident angle will be

1. small for prism A 

2. small for prism B

3. equal for both the prisms 

4. can’t be predicted

A thin plano-convex glass lens ($\mathrm{\mu }$ = 1.5) has its plane surface silvered and R is the radius of curvature of curved part, then which of the following ray diagram is true for an object placed at O?

A beam of light consisting of red, green and blue colours in incident on a right-angled prism as shown. The refractive index of the material of prism for red, green and blue wavelength are 1.39, 1.44 and 1.47 respectively. Which of the three colours will come out off the right face of the prism?

1.  Green

2.  Red

3.  Blue

4.  No colour will be separated

A lens of focal length $f_a$ in air consists of a glass of refractive index ${\mu }_g$. If $f_l$ is its focal length in a liquid of refractive index ${\mu }_l$, then for ${\mu }_l={\mu }_g$ :

(1) $f_l=0$

(2) $\infty >f_l>f_a$

(3) $0<f_l<f_a$

(4) $f_l=\infty$

A ray of light incident on an equilateral prism at an angle of incidence i. The deviation produced by prism will be maximum when angle i is [take ${\mu }_{glass}=2$]

(4) 90$°$

The thickness of a plano-convex glass lens in the middle is 1.5 cm. Viewing from the flat side the thickness of the lens at the centre will appear (refractive index of glass is 1.5) to be

1.  1.5 cm

2.  1.0 cm

3.  2 cm

4.  0.5 cm

A liquid of refractive index $\frac{4}{3}$ is placed between two identical planoconvex-lenses touching each other at their spherical surfaces of radius R. If the refractive index of the lens is 1.50, then the lens behaves

(2) Convergent with power P=$\frac{1}{6R}$

(3) Divergent with power P=$\frac{1}{3R}$

(4) Divergent with power P=$\frac{1}{6R}$
