Important Questions on Ray Optics and Optical Instruments
A point source is placed at a distance of from a converging lens of focal length , on its principal axis as shown in the figure. Find the distance at which a diverging mirror of focal length should be placed, so that a real image is formed on the source itself.

A screen is placed at a distance of from an object. A convex lens forms the image of this object on the screen, when placed at two different locations separated by as shown in the figure. Determine the focal length of the lens.


A spherical surface of radius of curvature separates a rarer and a denser medium. With the help of a neat ray diagram obtain the relationship between the object distance , the image distance , the radius of curvature and the refractive indices and of the two media, when the object is kept in the rarer medium.
How does the scattering of light vary with the wavelength of different colours of light ?
