Explanation
An observer looks at a distant treeof height 10 m with atelescope of magnifying power of 20. To theobserver the tree appears :
.
The condition for minimum deviation in a prism is given as
1. i=e where i is the angle of incidence and e is the angle of emergence.
2. r1=r2 where r1 and r2 are the angle of refraction of the two refracting surfaces of the prism.
Hence the first refracted ray inside the prism should be parallel to the base of the prism.
In the figure we can see that the above condition is satisfied by the prisms A and B.
Hence the correct answer is option (C).
A 10mm long awl pin is placed vertically in front of a concave mirror. A 5mm long image of the awl pin is formed at 30cm in front of the mirror. The focal length of this mirror is:
Given: object size h=10mm, image size h′=5mm, image distancev=−30cm,
To find object distance=? f=?
from the magnification formula =h′h=−vu
or 5mm10mm=−30cmu or −30cmu=12
or u=−60
Now, it can be calculated as follows:
1v+1u=1f
or 1−30cm+1−60cm=1f or −2−160=1f
1f=−120cm or f=−20cm (the negative sign confirms that the calculated focal length is of a concavemirror)
