The magnifying power of a telescope with tube length

$60cm$ is

$5$ . What is the focal length of its eye piece?

0%
$30cm$
0%
$20cm$
0%
$10cm$
0%
$40cm$

Explanation

The magnifying power of a telescope is given by

$m = \dfrac{f_0}{f_e}, \, 5 = \dfrac{f_0}{f_e}$

$f_0 + f_e = 60$ [The total length of the telescope is

$60cm$ ]

And

$f_0 = 5f_e$

$\therefore f_0 + f_e = 5f_0, \, 6f_e = 60, f_e = 10cm$

$f_0 = 5f_e = 50cm$

$\therefore$ The focal length of the eyepiece is

$f_e = 10cm$

The aperture diameter of a telescope is

$5m$ . The separation between the moon and the earth is

$4\times 10^5$ km. With light of wavelength of

$5500\overset{o}{A}$ , the minimum separation between objects on the surface of moon, so that they are just resolved, is close to?

0%
$60$ m
0%
$20$ m
0%
$600$ m
0%
$200$ m

Explanation

Refer above image.

Let the aperture

$=d$

$D=4\times 10^8m$

$wavelength =\lambda=5500\times 10^{-10}m$

for two objects to be resolved

$\theta=1.22\dfrac{\lambda}{d}$

also

$d=D\theta$

$\Rightarrow \theta=\dfrac{d}{D}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{d}{4\times 10^8}=\dfrac{1.22\times 5500\times 10^{-10}}{5}$

$d=53.68\approx 60m$

Option A is correct.

A ray of light is incident on a prism

$\mathrm{A}BC$ of refractive index

$\sqrt{3}$ as shown in figure.
(a) Find the angle of incidence for which the deviation of light ray by the prism

$\mathrm{A}BC$ is minimum.
(b) By what angle the second prism must be rotated, so that the final ray suffer net minimum deviation.

0%
$30^o$ , $60^o$
0%
$60^o$ , $30^o$
0%
$60^o$ , $60^o$
0%
None of these

Explanation

Minimum deviation

$i_{1}=i_{2}=i$ and

$r_{1}=r_{2}=r$

and

$r_{1}+r_{2}=A$

$r=A/2=30^{\circ}$

Using

Snell's law,

$\dfrac{sini_{1}}{sinr_{1}}=\mu$

$sini_{1}=\sqrt{3}sin30^{\circ}$

$sini_{1}=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$i_{1}=60^{\circ}$

When the prism is rotated anticlockwise by

$60^{\circ}$ the combined prism will become a slab as shown in the figure 2. In this case the net deviation by the prism will be zero as the deviation by the two prism will be equal and opposite.

Monochromatic light is incident on a glass prism of angle A. If the refractive index of the material of the prism is

$\mu$ , a ray incident at an angle

$\theta$ , on the face AB would get transmitted through the face AC of the prism provided

0%
$\theta > sin^{-1}\left[\mu \, sin \left(A - sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\mu}\right) \right)\right]$
0%
$\theta < sin^{-1}\left[\mu \, sin \left(A - sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\mu}\right) \right)\right]$
0%
$\theta > cos^{-1}\left[\mu \, sin \left(A + sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\mu}\right) \right)\right]$
0%
$\theta < cos^{-1}\left[\mu \, sin \left(A + sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\mu}\right) \right)\right]$

Explanation

Consider refraction though AB surface

Using Snell's law,

$1\sin\theta=\mu \sin r$ ...(i)

Now for ray to transmit through AC the angle of incidence should be less the

critical angle

i.e.

$r'<\sin^{-1}\dfrac{1}{\mu}$

From triangle APQ

$A+90^\circ{}-r+90^\circ{}-r'=180$

$r'=A-r;$

$A-r<\sin^{-1}\dfrac{1}{\mu}$

From equation (i)

$\theta > sin^{-1}\left[\mu \, sin \left(A - sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{1}{\mu}\right) \right)\right]$

Option A is correct.

A ray

$OP$ monochromatic light is incident on the face

$AB$ of prism

$ABCD$ near vertex

$B$ at an incident angle of

$60^{o}$ (see figure). If the refractive index of the material of the prism is

$\sqrt{3}$ , which of the following is (are) correct?

0%
The ray gets totally internally reflected at face CD
0%
The ray comes out through face AD
0%
The angle between the incident ray and the emergent ray is 90 $^{o}$
0%
The angle between the incident ray and the emergent ray is 120 $^{o}$

Explanation

Using snell's law at surface AB, CD and AD

$\displaystyle sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} < sin^{-1} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
Net deviation is

$90^{o}$

An astronomical refracting telescope will have large angular magnification and high resolution, when it has an objective lens of :

0%
Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
0%
Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
0%
Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

Explanation

When a ray of light enters as spherical glass sphere, it is first refracted at first interface and then it strike the inner surface of sphere (second interface) and get totally internally reflected if the angle between the refracted ray and normal to the drop surface is greater than the critical angle

$(42^{\circ}$ , in this case).

A convex lens of refractive index

$\dfrac{3}{2}$ has a power of 2.5 D in air. If it is placed in a liquid of refractive index 2, then the new power of the lens is:

0%
- 1.25 D
0%
- 1.5 D
0%
1.25 D
0%
1.5 D

Explanation

According to Lens Maker's Formula,

Power of lens

$=P=(\mu_r-1)(\dfrac{1}{R_1}-\dfrac{1}{R_2})$

where

$\mu_r$ is the refractive index of material of lens relative to the surrounding medium

$=\dfrac{\mu_{material}}{\mu_{medium}}$

For convex lens in air,

$\mu_r=\dfrac{3/2}{1}=\dfrac{3}{2}$

For convex lens in the liquid,

$\mu_r=\dfrac{3/2}{2}=\dfrac{3}{4}$

Thus

$\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}=\dfrac{\mu_{r_2}-1}{\mu_{r_1}-1}$

$=\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{4}-1}{\dfrac{3}{2}-1}=-\dfrac{1}{2}$

$\implies P_2=-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.5D=-1.25D$

The optical instrument with zero power is :

0%
microscope
0%
telescope
0%
eyepiece
0%
all of the above

Explanation

A telescope has a larger value of its focal length. we know that Power

$P = \dfrac{1}{f}$

so because telescope has a larger focal length so it's power which is inversely related to its focal length is approximately equal to zero.

Thus the optical instrument with zero power is telescope because it is a system with large focal length.

Inability of the eye to focus on both far and near objects with advancing age is:

A convex glass lens is immersed in water. Compared to the power in air, its power in water will :

0%
increase
0%
decrease
0%
not change
0%
decrease for red light and increase for violet light

Explanation

Power of a lens $=\dfrac{1}{f}$

Where $f$ is the focal length of the lens.

So, by lens maker formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\left ( \dfrac{\mu _{2}}{\mu _{1}}-1 \right )\left ( \dfrac{1}{R_{1}}-\dfrac{1}{R_{2}} \right )$

As lens is dipped in water, $\mu$ of the medium is increased from 1 to $\dfrac{4}{3}$ (i.e. refractive index of water), so, $\dfrac{\mu_{2}}{\mu_{1}}$ term decreases, so, $\left ( \dfrac{\mu_{2}}{\mu_{1}}-1 \right )$ term decrease which leads to decrease of $\dfrac{1}{f}.$ so, power $\left ( =\dfrac{1}{f} \right )$ decreases.

The focal length of a lens of refractive index

$\mu$ is

$f$ . If the lens is immersed in a liquid of refractive index

$\mu$ then the focal length of lens is

0%
$\dfrac{f}{2}$
0%
$2f$
0%
$\text{infinite}$
0%
$\text{zero}$

Explanation

$\dfrac{1}{f} = (n-1) (\dfrac{1}{R_1}- \dfrac{1}{R_2})$

where,

$n$ is refractive index of lens material with respect to its surrounding medium

If lens is immersed in the liquid of refractive index equal to its own then

$n=1$ and hence above equation becomes:

$\dfrac{1}{f} = 0$

$\Rightarrow f = \infty$

For reading small letters with a lens

0%
one has to keep a convex lens at a distance between F and 2F from the book.
0%
one has to keep a concave lens at a distance less than the focal length from the book
0%
one has to keep concave lens at a distance between F and 2F from the book
0%
One has to keep a convex lens at a distance less than the an focal length from the book
0%
None of these

Explanation

$\bf{concave\ lens}$ always produces virtual, erect and diminished images and the decrease in the size of the image depends on the position of the object.

$\therefore$ Concave lens will shrink the size of the already small letters.

A

$\bf{convex\ lens}$ produces real and virtual, erect and inverted, diminished, same sized and magnified image of the object, depending upon the position of the object on the principal axis.

When the object is placed between F and 2F of convex lens, an enlarged but inverted image of the object is formed. The magnified image makes it easier to read small letters but the inverted image is undesirable.

When the object is placed at a distance less than the focal length of convex lens, an enlarged and erect image of the object is formed, which makes it easier to read small letters.

Hence, the correct answer is OPTION D.

In the white light of sun, maximum scattering by the air molecules present in the earth's atmosphere is for:

0%
red colour
0%
yellow colour
0%
green colour
0%
blue colour

Explanation

${\Large\underline{\textbf{Concept Used:}}}$

${\large{\textbf{Rayleigh Scattering}}}$

In the process of scattering, light rays are absorbed by the particles of a medium and remitted in random directions. When white light passes through a medium, different wavelengths are scattered differently.

Shorter the wavelength, the higher the chances of the light being scattered due to its high frequency. According to Rayleigh's Theory, the intensity of scattered light in a medium is related to the wavelength as,

$I \propto \frac{1}{\lambda ^4}$

${\Large\underline{\textbf{Correct Answer: D}}}$

${\Large {\textbf{Explanation}}}$

$\bullet$ By Rayleigh's Criterion intensity of scattered light is given by,

$I \propto \frac{1}{\lambda ^4}$

$\Rightarrow$ Intensity of scattered light is more for smaller wavelengths of light.

$\bullet$ In the visible spectrum, the

$blue$ side of the spectrum has a

$smaller \ wavelength$ compared to the red side. Hence blue light is

$scattered \ more$ by air molecules present in earth's atmosphere.

The phenomenon due to which a ray of light .......... from its path while travelling from one optical medium to another optical medium is called refraction.
