Assertion: In Snell's law μ=sinisinr, angle i is always angle of incidence.

Reason: μ=sinisinr is applicable if the first medium is the air (or vacuum).

IMPORTANT

Assertion: Reflected image always travels in the opposite direction of object.

Reason: Speed of the point image formed by reflected rays is always equal to the speed of its point object.

IMPORTANT

Assertion: A ray of light travels from the first medium to a second medium. In the first medium angle of a ray with normal is i1=30° and in second medium i2=60° Then, the second medium is rarer medium.

Reason: Refractive index of the first medium with respect to the second medium is sin30°sin60°.

Assertion: Focal length of a lens depends on the wavelength of light used.

Reason: The more the wavelengths, the lesser is the focal length.

IMPORTANT

Assertion: In front of a concave mirror a point object is placed between focus and centre of curvature. If a glass slab is placed between object and mirror, then an image from the mirror may become virtual.

Reason: Glass slab always makes a virtual image of a real object.

IMPORTANT

Assertion: Convex mirror will always make a virtual image.

Reason: Convex mirror is diverging in nature. Its power is negative.

Assertion: If angle of incidence in the case of a prism is gradually increased, then deviation produced by prism will first decrease then increase.

Reason: At minimum deviation, r1=A2.

Assertion: A mirror has only one focus, while that of less has two foci.

Reason: Both the foci of a mirror coincide at one point.

A transparent thin film of uniform thickness and refractive index n1=1.4 is coated on the convex spherical surface of radius R at one end of a long solid glass cylinder of refractive index n2=1.5, as shown in the figure. Rays of light parallel to the axis of the cylinder traversing through the film from air to glass get focused at distance f1 from the film, while rays of light traversing from glass to air get focused at distance f2 from the film. Then,
