For refraction at a convex spherical surface of radius of curvature R from a medium of refractive index n 1 to medium of refractive index n 2 ( n 2 > n 1 ) , establish the relation: n v - n u = n 2 - n 1 R . What will be behaver of a convex lens of the refractive index 1 . 47 when it is immersed in a liquid of refractive index 1 . 47 ?

Figure shows the formation of image I of an object O on the principal axis of a convex surface with the centre of curvature C . As the aperture is small the length of N M will be taken to be nearly equal to the length of the perpendicular from the point N on the principal axis. For small angles (assuming paraxial rays) we have, tan ∠ NOM = NM OM . tan ∠ NCM = NM MC , tan ∠ NIM = MN MI From the figure, we have i = ∠ NOM + ∠ NCM = NM OM + MN MC and r = ∠ NCM + ∠ NIM = NM CM - MN MI Since angles are small their sine will be equal to the angles Applying Snell law n 1 i = n 2 r So we have n 1 OM + n 1 MC = n 2 MC + n 2 MI or n 1 OM + n 2 M I = n 2 MC + n 1 M C Using the sign convention OM = - u , MI = + v and MC = R We have n 1 - u + n 1 v = n 2 - n 1 R This is the required relation, A biconvex lens of glass having refractive index 1 . 47 is immersed in a liquid of the refractive index 1 . 47 It becomes invisible and behaves as a plane glass plate.

Which optical device can produce optical dispersion and which property is responsible for the dispersion of light? Draw a diagram to show that it is possible to obtain white light again after dispersion.

Dispersion is defined to be the spreading of white light into its full spectrum of wavelengths. Optical devices that can produce optical dispersion is Prism Refraction is the phenomenon that is responsible for the dispersion of light by a prism. As different wavelengths of light have different speeds inside a medium, they bent to different angles when entering from air to the prism. They suffer yet another refraction when they emerge from the prism, thus increasing further the separation of different wavelengths. Recombination of white light : A white light after dispersion can be recombined using two inverted lenses as shown:

In a prism r 1 + r 2 = A and δ = i + e - A , when the prism is at the position of minimum deviation D m . Show that the refractive index of the material of the prism is: μ = sin A + D m 2 sin A 2 Also derive the expression for D m for small angled prism.

Given r 1 + r 2 = A and δ = i + e - A In case of the minimum value of angle of deviation there is only one value of incident angle. In such case we have, i 1 = i 2 = e and r 1 = r 2 = r . Therefore, in case of minimum deviation we have as given r 1 + r 2 = A or A = r + r or r = A 2 .............(1) And δ m = i + i - A or i = δ m + A 2 .....................(2) Using Snell's relation n = sin i sinr putting the values we have, from (1)a nd n = sin A + δ m 2 sin ( A 2 ) .............................................(A) This is the required relation. Thin prism: As we have In case of thin prism, the angle of prism A is small and by the Snell's relation, we have, sin i 1 = μsin r 1 or i 1 = μr 1 Since i 1 is small, r 1 is also small, hence, δ = i 1 + i 2 - A = μr 1 + μr 2 - A = μ ( r 1 + r 2 ) - A = μA - A . Or δ = ( μ - 1 ) A ................................................(B) This is the required relation.

You know the phenomenon of the scattering of light by atmospheric particles. Write a few lines about the blue colour of the sky and reddish colour of the sky in the morning as well as in the evening.

The blue colour of the sky. The cause of this phenomenon is due to scattering of light by the atmospheric particles e.g. gas molecules, dust etc. The scattering of light is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength. Since the blue light has the least wavelength, it scatters the most towards the sky and hence the sky appears blue to us. For this to happen, the particles should have their size comparable to the wavelength of the light, The clouds have a much bigger size and scatter light of all wavelengths and hence appear white. The reddish colour of the sky in the morning and in the evening: At sunrise and sunset, the Sun is very low in the sky, which means that the sunlight we see has travelled through a much thicker amount of atmosphere. The shorter wavelength blue light is scattered further, as the sunlight passes over a greater distance, Most of the blue and other shorter wavelengths are removed by scattering and we see the longer wavelength yellow and red light.

The length of the microscope L = 20 cm .
