Explanation

$ Here , n = tan \theta_p = \sqrt 3 , n = {c \over \nu } $ $ \therefore v = \sqrt 3 \times 10^8 $

Which of the following phenomenon is used in optical fibres ?

Explanation

Optical fibers work on the principle of total internal reflection. When light enters the fiber at a certain angle, it gets totally internally reflected within the core of the fiber, allowing it to travel long distances with minimal loss. This ensures that the light signal is transmitted efficiently from one end of the fiber to the other.

Ordinary light incident on a glass slab at the polarising angle, suffers a deviation of $ 22 ^\circ $ . The value of angle of refraction in this case is .

Explanation

$ from fig \theta p + 90 ^\circ +r = 180 ^\circ $ $ \therefore \theta_p + r = 90 ^\circ and \theta p -r = 22 ^\circ $ $ \therefore r = 34 ^ \circ $

A spherical convex surface separates object and image spaces of refractive indices 1.00 and . If the radius of curvature of the surface is 10 cm, its power is

Explanation

The minimum distance between the real object to the real image formed by the convex lens is 4f

Hence, D = 4f = 4 x 20 = 80 cm.

A concave lens of focal length 25 cm produces image 110th the size of the object. The distance of the object from the lens is

Explanation

11f = μ - 11R1 - 1R21f = 12120 + 1201f = 12 x 220f = 20 cm Object is placed at 40 cm so image is also formed at 40 cm from lens.

A converging beam of light is incident on a concave lens of focal length 30cm, in such a way that their point of intersection would lie at a height 1cm above the principal axis and at a distance of 24cm from the position of the lens if there was no lens. Find the nature of the image formed when the beam passes through the lens.
