Important Questions on Refraction at Spherical Surface and Spherical Lens



A deviation of is produced in the yellow ray when prism of crown and flint glass are achromatically combined. Taking dispersive powers of crown and flint glass are and respectively and refractive index for yellow light for these glasses are and respectively. The refracting angles for crown glass prism will be ________ (in degree)
(Round off to the Nearest Integer)


A convex lens and plane mirror are arranged as shown in figure. Position of the object pin is adjusted in such a way that the inverted image formed by the lens mirror combinations, coincides with the object pin . Explain how and when this happens.

A combination consisting of a concave lens in contact of a convex lens of focal length produces a real image at a distance of when an object is placed at a distance of from the combination. Find the focal length and power of the concave lens.

Parallel rays of sun fall upon a concave lens of focal length. At a distance of from this lens, a convex lens of focal length is placed. Where should the screen be placed to get the image of the sun?

For next Two questions
A hollow cylindrical beam of white light is incident on a converging lens in air. Axis of the beam coincides with the principle axis of the lens. A screen is placed behind the lens.
If is focal length for violet light and is focal length for red light, then

In producing a pure spectrum, the incident light is passed through a narrow slit placed in the focal plane of an achromatic lens because a narrow slit




Lenses of powers and are combined to form a compound lens. An object is placed at a distance of from this lens. Calculate the position of its image.

Spherical aberration in a thin lens can be reduced by

times the size of the object. If lens B is concave with a focal length of 30 cm, the nature and focal length of lens A is


Reason: The refractive index of material of lens is different for different wavelengths of light.
