A thin equiconvex lens of a glass of refractive index μ=32 & of focal length 0.3 m in air is sealed into an opening at one end of a tank filled with water (μ=43). On the opposite side of the lens, a mirror is placed inside the tank on the tank wall perpendicular to the lens axis, as shown in the figure. The separation between the lens and the mirror is 0.8 m. A small object is placed outside the tank in front of the lens at a distance of 0.9 m from the lens along its axis. Find the position (relative to the lens) of the image of the object formed by the system.

A prism of refractive index n1 and another prism of refractive index n2 are stuck together without a gap as shown in the figure. The angles of the prisms are as shown. n1 and n2 depend on λ, the wavelength of light according to n1=1.20+10.8×104λ2 and n2=1.45+1.80×104λ2 where λ is in nm.

Question Image

(i) Calculate the wavelength λ0 for which rays incident at any angle on the interface BC pass through without bending at that interface.

(ii) For light of wavelength λ0, find the angle of incidence i on the face AC such that the deviation produced by the combination of prisms is minimum.

The figure below depicts a concave mirror with centre of curvature C focus F, and a horizontally drawn OFC as the optic axis. The radius of curvature is R(OC=R) and OF=R2. A ray of light QP, parallel to the optical axis and at a perpendicular distance w(wR2) from it, is incident on the mirror at P. It is reflected to the point B on the optical axis, such that BF=k. Here k is a measure of lateral aberration.

Question Image

(a) Express k in terms of w,R.

(b) Sketch k vs w for w[0, R2]

(c) Consider points P1 , P2 ......Pn on the concave mirror which are increasingly further away from the optic centre O and approximately equidistant from each other(see figure below). Rays parallel to the optic axis are incident at P1 , P2 ,.......Pn and reflected to points on the optic axis. Consider the points where these rays reflected from Pn , Pn1 , .....P2 intersect the rays reflected from Pn1 , Pn2 , ..... P1, respectively. Qualitatively sketch the locus of these points in figure below for a mirror (shown with solid line) with radius of curvature 2 cm.
