In the displacement method, a convex lens is placed in between an object and a screen. If one of the magnification is and the displacement of the lens between the two positions is , then the focal length of the lens is:


Important Questions on Ray Optics
A beam of light consisting of red, green and blue and is incident on a right angled prism. The refractive index of the material of the prism for the above red, green and blue wavelengths are and respectively. The prism will-

A ray of light is incident normally ao the refracting face of the prism of refracting angle . The ray of light comes out at grazing emergence. If one half of the prism(shaded position) is knocked off, the same ray will-

A horizontal ray of light passes through a prism of index and apex angle and then strikes a vertical mirror,as shown in the figure. Through what angle must the mirror be rotated if after reflection the ray. to be horizontal?

The curve of angle of incidence versus angle of deviation shown has been plotted for prism. The value of refractive index of the prism used is:




A light wave travels through three transparent materials of equal thickness. Rank in order, from the highest to lowest, the indices of refraction and .
