Important Questions on Ray Optics






The depth of the swimming pool is . The area of the bottom of the swimming pool that can be seen through the slab is approximate-





Electromagnetic waves emanating from a point (in air) are incident on a rectangular block of material and emerge from the other side as shown below. The angles and are angles of incidence and refraction when the wave travels from air to the medium. Such paths for the rays are possible,

An observer can see through a small hole on the side of a jar (radius ) at a point at height of from the bottom. The hole is at a height of . When the jar is filled with a liquid up to a height of the same observer can see the edge at the bottom of the jar. If the refractive index of the liquid is , the value of is:


is a point at which the axis of the lens intersects the mirror. The distance is . The angle which the mirror makes with the horizontal is,

A diver, below water surface is trying to shine a torch light towards the point O which is horizontally away. The amount and direction in which diver has to swim (in the figure) so that the light can not travel outside the surface of water is (Refractive index of water )





A cubical vessel has opaque walls. An observer (dark circle in the figure below) is located, such that she can see only the wall, , but not the bottom. Nearly to what height should water be poured, so that she can see an object placed at the bottom at a distance of, , from the corner, ? Refractive index of water is, .
