An object is placed 21 cm in front of a concave mirror of radius of curvature 10 cm. A glass slab of thickness 3 cm and r . i .1 .5 is then placed close to the mirror in the space between the object and the mirror. Find the position of the final image. (You may take the distance of the near surface of the slab from the mirror to be 1 cm)

A container contains water up to a height of 20 cm  and there is a point source at the centre of the bottom of the container. A rubber ring of radius r  floats centrally on the water. The ceiling of the room is 2.0 m above the water surface.

(a) Find the radius of the shadow of the radius of the ring formed on the ceiling if r=15 cm.

(b) Find the maximum value of r  for which the shadow of the ring is formed on the ceiling. Refractive index of water=43.

A coin is placed at the bottom of an empty hemispherical basin. When looked over the edge of the basin, the coin is just invisible, but becomes just visible when the basin is filled up by a liquid. If r be the radius of the coin, show that r=a(u2-1) /(u2+1) where u=r . i. of the liquid and a= radius of the hemisphere.

A given monochromatic light ray initially in air strikes a 90° prism and is refracted to such an extent that it just grazes the prism surface after emerging into air. If the angle of incidence is 60°, find the refractive index of the prism.
