In the given figure, the faces of the prism ABCD made of glass with a refractive index n form dihedral angles A=90°, B=75°, C=135° & D=60° (The Abbe's prism ). A beam of light falls on the face AB & after total internal reflection from face, BC escapes through face AD. Find the range of n and angle of incidence α of the beam onto face AB, if a beam that has passed through the prism in this manner is perpendicular to the incident beam.

A point source of light is placed at a distance h below the surface of a large deep lake. (a) Show that the fraction f of the light energy that escapes directly from the water surface is independent of h and is given by f=12-12nn2-1, where n is the index of refraction of water.

(Note: Absorption within the water and reflection at the surface except where it is total, have been neglected)

(b) Evaluate this ratio for n=43.

A glass prism with a refracting angle of 60° has a refractive index 1.52 for red and 1.6 for violet light. A parallel beam of white light is incident on one face at an angle of incidence which gives minimum deviation for red light. Find:

(a) the angle of incidence

(b) angular width of the spectrum

(c) the length of the spectrum if it is focussed on a screen by lens of focal length 100 cm.

In the given figure, O is a point object kept on the principal axis of a concave mirror M of radius of curvature 20 cm. P is a prism of angle α=1.8°. Light falling on the prism (at a small angle of incidence) gets refracted through the prism and then falls on the mirror. The refractive index of the prism is 3/2. Find the distance between the images formed by the concave mirror due to this light.

An object is kept at rest on the principal axis of a lens. Initially, the object is at a distance three times the focal length f of the lens. The lens runs towards the object at a constant speed u, until the distance between the object and its real image becomes 4f. If the image always forms on a moving screen then express the velocity of the screen as a function of time.

A convex lens produces an image of a candle flame upon a screen whose distance from the candle is D. When the lens is displaced through a distance x, (the distance between the candle and the screen is kept constant), it is found that a sharp image is again produced upon the screen. Find the focal length of the lens in terms of D and x.

A thin equiconvex lens of a glass of refractive index μ=32 & of focal length 0.3 m in air is sealed into an opening at one end of a tank filled with water (μ=43). On the opposite side of the lens, a mirror is placed inside the tank on the tank wall perpendicular to the lens axis, as shown in the figure. The separation between the lens and the mirror is 0.8 m. A small object is placed outside the tank in front of the lens at a distance of 0.9 m from the lens along its axis. Find the position (relative to the lens) of the image of the object formed by the system.
