Sample Questions in this Chapter

QUESTION #39 Lens Combinations and Magnification
A thin convex lens of focal length 5 cm and a thin concave lens of focal length 4 cm are combined together (without any gap) and this combination has magnification m_1, when an object is placed 10 cm before the convex lens. Keeping the positions of convex lens and object undisturbed a gap of 1 cm is introduced between the lenses by moving the concave lens away, which lead to a change in magnification of total lens system to m_2. The value of left|fracm_1m_2right| is \_\_\_\_.

QUESTION #40 Prism Refraction and Grazing Emergence
Consider an equilateral prism (refractive index sqrt2). A ray of light is incident on its one surface at a certain angle i. If the emergent ray is found to graze along the other surface then the angle of refraction at the incident surface is close to \_\_\_\_.

QUESTION #48 Refraction at Spherical Surfaces
A parallel beam of light travelling in air (refractive index 1.0) is incident on a convex spherical glass surface of radius of curvature 50 cm. Refractive index of glass is 1.5. The rays converge to a point at a distance x cm from the centre of the curvature of the spherical surface. The value of x is \_\_\_\_ cm.
