Explanation

(d) For achromatic combination $ω_{C} = - ω_{F}$

${[(μ_{v} - μ_{r}) A]}_{C} = - {[(μ_{v} - μ_{r}) A]}_{F} \Rightarrow {[μ_{r} A]}_{C} \pm {[μ_{r} A]}_{F} = {[μ_{v} A]}_{C} + {[μ_{v} A]}_{F} = 1.5 \times 19 + 6 \times 1.66 = 38.5$
Resultant $ẟ = {[(μ_{r} - 1) A l]}_{C} + {[(μ_{r} - 1) A]}_{F}$

= ${[μ_{r} A]}_{C} + {[μ_{r} A]}_{F} - (A_{C} + A_{F}) = 38.5 - (19 + 6) = 13.5 °$

Explanation

(d) Here $\frac{1}{F} = - \frac{2}{f} + \frac{1}{f_{m}}$
Plano-convex lens silvered on plane side has $f_{m} = \infty$ .

$∴ \frac{1}{F} = - \frac{2}{f} + \frac{1}{\infty} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{30} = \frac{2}{f} \Rightarrow f = 60 c m$

Plano-convex lens silvered on convex side has $f_{m} = \frac{- R}{2}$

$∴ \frac{1}{F} = - \frac{2}{f} - \frac{2}{R} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{10} = \frac{2}{60} + \frac{2}{R} \Rightarrow R = 30 c m$

Now using $\frac{1}{f} = (μ - 1) (\frac{1}{R})$ , we get $μ = 1.5$

A ray of light travels from an optically denser to rarer medium. The critical angle for the two media is C. The maximum possible deviation of the ray will be

A.

$(\frac{π}{2} - C)$

B.

2C

C.

$π - 2 C$

D.

$π - C$

Explanation

When light travels from an optically denser to rarer medium, the maximum possible deviation occurs when the angle of incidence is equal to the critical angle. The refracted ray grazes the surface, and the angle between the incident and refracted rays is (Ï€ - 2C), where C is the critical angle.

Explanation

(d) Resolving power $= \frac{1.22 λ}{a} = \frac{1.22 \times 6000 \times 10^{- 10}}{5}$
Also resolving power $= \frac{d}{D} = \frac{d}{38.6 \times 10^{7}}$

$∴ \frac{1.22 \times 6 \times 10^{- 7}}{5} = \frac{d}{38.6 \times 10^{7}} \Rightarrow d = \frac{1.22 \times 6 \times 10^{- 7} \times 38.6 \times 10^{7}}{5} m = 56.51 m$

Explanation

(a) As limit of resolution
$∆ θ = \frac{1}{R e s o l v i n g P o w e r (R P)}$ ;

and if x is the distance between points on the surface of moon which is at a distance r from the telescope.

$∆ θ = \frac{x}{r}$
$∆ θ = \frac{1}{R P} = \frac{x}{r} x = \frac{r}{R P} = \frac{r}{d / 1.22 λ} \Rightarrow x = \frac{1.22 λ r}{d}$

$= \frac{1.22 \times 5500 \times 10^{- 10} \times (3.8 \times 10^{8})}{500 \times 10^{- 2}} = 51 m$
