For the refraction of light through a prism kept in the air


Important Questions on Ray Optics

Two refracting media are separated by a spherical interface as shown in the figure. is the principal axis, and are the refractive indices of the medium of incidence and medium of refraction, respectively. Then

The values of and for final rays to be parallel to the principal axis are (focal lengths of the lenses are written above the respective lenses in the given figure)

An object is kept in front of a converging lens of a focal length behind which there is a plane mirror at from the lens as shown in the figure.

If symmetrical biconcave thin lens is cut into two identical halves. They are placed in different ways as shown.

A narrow beam of white light goes through a slab having parallel faces.

By properly combining two prisms made of different materials, it is possible to

A flat mirror is arranged parallel to a wall at a distance from it as shown in the figure. The light produced by a point source kept on the wall is reflected by the mirror and produces a light patch on the wall. The mirror moves with velocity towards the wall.
