A diverging beam of light from a point source \(S\) having divergence angle \(\alpha,\) falls symmetrically on a glass slab as shown. The angles of incidence of the two extreme rays are equal. If the thickness of the glass slab is \(t\) and the refractive index \(n\), then the divergence angle of the emergent beam is:
1. | zero | 2. | \(\alpha\) |
3. | \(\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)\) | 4. | \(2\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)\) |
A concave mirror is placed at the bottom of an empty tank with face upwards and axis vertical. When sunlight falls normally on the mirror, it is focused at distance of 32 cm from the mirror. If the tank is filled with water upto a height of 20 cm, then the sunlight will now get focussed at
(1) 16 cm above water level
(2) 9 cm above water level
(3) 24 cm below water level
(4) 9 cm below water level
The slab of a refractive index material equal to \(2\) shown in the figure has a curved surface \(APB\) of a radius of curvature of \(10\) cm and a plane surface \(CD\). On the left of \(APB\) is air and on the right of \(CD\) is water with refractive indices as given in the figure. An object \(O\) is placed at a distance of \(15\) cm from pole \(P\) as shown. The distance of the final image of \(O\) from \(P\) as viewed from the left is:
1. | \(20\) cm | 2. | \(30\) cm |
3. | \(40\) cm | 4. | \(50\) cm |
The distance between a convex lens and a plane mirror is \(10\) cm. The parallel rays incident on the convex lens, after reflection from the mirror form image at the optical centre of the lens. Focal length of the lens will be:
1. | \(10\) cm | 2. | \(20\) cm |
3. | \(30\) cm | 4. | Cannot be determined |
An air bubble in a sphere having 4 cm diameter that appears 1 cm from the surface nearest to the eye when looked along diameter. If = 1.5, the distance of bubble from the refracting surface is
1. 1.2 cm
2. 3.2 cm
3. 2.8 cm
4. 1.6 cm
An observer can see through a pinhole the top end of a thin rod of height h, placed as shown in the figure. The beaker height is 3h and its radius h. When the beaker is filled with a liquid up to a height 2h, he can see the lower end of the rod. Then the refractive index of the liquid is
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4) 3/2
In an experiment of find the focal length of a concave mirror a graph is drawn between the magnitudes of u and v. The graph looks like
As the position of an object \((u)\) reflected from a concave mirror is varied, the position of the image \((v)\) also varies. By letting the \(u\) change from \(0\) to infinity, the graph between \(v\) versus \(u\) will be:
1. | ![]() |
2. | ![]() |
3. | ![]() |
4. | ![]() |
1. | 2. | ||
3. | 4. |
