### Related Formula For a prism of angle A$A$: - Deviation: delta = i + e - A$\delta = i + e - A$ - Minimum deviation delta_textmin$\delta_{\text{min}}$ occurs when: i = e quad textand quad r_1 = r_2 = fracA2$$i = e \quad \text{and} \quad r_1 = r_2 = \frac{A}{2}$$ - Under minimum deviation, the ray inside an equilateral/isosceles prism travels symmetrically, making it parallel to the prism base. ### Core Logic Let's check the validity of each statement: - **Statement (A)**: The refracted ray inside the prism becomes parallel to the base at minimum deviation. (True for symmetric prisms) - **Statement (B)**: Larger angle prisms provide smaller minimum deviation. By minimum deviation equation: mu = fracsinleft(fracA+delta_textmin2right)sinleft(fracA2right)$$\mu = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{A+\delta_{\text{min}}}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{A}{2}\right)}$$ As A$A$ increases, delta_textmin$\delta_{\text{min}}$ generally increases, not decreases. (False) - **Statement (C)**: Angle of incidence i$i$ and angle of emergence e$e$ become equal (i = e$i = e$) during the minimum deviation state. (True) - **Statement (D)**: The delta-i$\delta-i$ curve is asymmetric and parabolic-like; for any deviation delta > delta_textmin$\delta > \delta_{\text{min}}$, there are always exactly two different incident angles (i$i$ and e$e$) that yield the same deviation, except at the minimum deviation point (which has a single unique value). (True) - **Statement (E)**: Angle of refraction r = A/2$r = A/2$, which is half of the prism angle, not double. (False) ### Step 1: Conclusion Since statements A, C, and D are true, the correct option is (1). ### Pattern Recognition Review the classic parabolic shape of the deviation vs. angle of incidence (delta-i$\delta-i$) graph. Notice that any horizontal line above the minimum point intersects twice (representing i$i$ and e$e$ for that deviation). Minimum deviation is the unique local minimum, where i = e$i = e$ and r_1 = r_2 = A/2$r_1 = r_2 = A/2$. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Ray Optics and Optical Instruments: Refraction through Prism

For a plane mirror to create an image at this same exact location, it must be placed precisely midway between the object and the image. Distance from object to plane mirror: d = frac452 = 22.5text cm$$d = \frac{45}{2} = 22.5\text{ cm}$$ Therefore, the clearance distance between the convex mirror and the plane mirror surface is: textDistance = 30 - 22.5 = 7.5text cm$$\text{Distance} = 30 - 22.5 = 7.5\text{ cm}$$ ### Pattern Recognition Coinciding images imply identical coordinate endpoints. Calculate the convex position explicitly, find the total path length from the real source object, and slice it in half for the plane mirror location. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Ray Optics and Optical Instruments

### Related Formula Magnification relation for spherical mirrors: m = -fracvu$$m = -\frac{v}{u}$$ Mirror equation: frac1f = frac1v + frac1u$$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u}$$ ### Core Logic Given m = -frac13$m = -\frac{1}{3}$: -fracvu = -frac13 implies u = 3v$$-\frac{v}{u} = -\frac{1}{3} implies u = 3v$$ Since magnification is negative, a real inverted image is formed on the same side as the object in a concave mirror layout configuration.

### Step 1: Formulate Position Distances The distance between the object and image is given as 30mathrm~cm$30\mathrm{~cm}$: |u| - |v| = 30 implies 3v - v = 30 implies 2v = 30 implies v = 15mathrm~cm$$|u| - |v| = 30 implies 3v - v = 30 implies 2v = 30 implies v = 15\mathrm{~cm}$$ This gives u = 3(15) = 45mathrm~cm$u = 3(15) = 45\mathrm{~cm}$. ### Step 2: Solve for Focal Length and x Apply standard sign conventions (u = -45mathrm~cm$u = -45\mathrm{~cm}$, v = -15mathrm~cm$v = -15\mathrm{~cm}$): frac1f = -frac115 - frac145 = frac-3 - 145 = -frac445$$\frac{1}{f} = -\frac{1}{15} - \frac{1}{45} = \frac{-3 - 1}{45} = -\frac{4}{45}$$ |f| = frac454mathrm~cm$$|f| = \frac{45}{4}\mathrm{~cm}$$ Matching this with the prompt pattern form fracx4$\frac{x}{4}$ yields: x = 45$x = 45$ ### Pattern Recognition Real inverted diminished images (|m| < 1$|m| < 1$) mean the image forms closer to the mirror surface than the object, situated between the focal center F$F$ and center of curvature C$C$. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Ray Optics and Optical Instruments

A smaller real image formed by a concave mirror sits between the focus and center of curvature, resulting in u > v$u > v$ configurations. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Ray Optics and Optical Instruments
