Ray Optics and Wave Optics MM: 50

1. A ray PQ incident on the refracting face BA is refracted in the prism BAC as shown in the figure and
emerges from the other refracting face AC as RS such that AQ = AR. If the angle of prism A = 60 and
refractive index of material of prism is sqrt(3) . Calculate angle . [3]

2. A screen is placed at a distance of 100 cm from an object. The image of the object is formed on the
screen by a convex lens for two different locations of the lens separated by 20 cm. Calculate the
focal length of the lens used. [3]
3. A converging lens is kept coaxially in contact with a diverging lens both the lenses being of equal
focal length. What is the focal length of the combination? [2]
4. Derive an expression for path difference in Youngs double slit experiment and obtain the conditions
for constructive and destructive interference at a point on the screen. [4]
5. The intensity at the central maxima in Youngs double slit experiment is I0. Find out the intensity at a
point where the path difference is /6 and /3. [3]
6. The focal length of an equiconvex lens is equal to the radius of curvature of either face. What is the
refractive index of the material of the lens? [2]

7. A biconcave lens made of a transparent material of refractive index 1.25 is immersed in water of
refractive index 1.33. Will the lens behave as a converging or a diverging lens? Give reason. [2]

8. Explain the basic differences between the construction and working of a telescope and a
microscope. Draw ray diagram for Compound Microscope [3]
9. What does a Polaroid consist of? Show, using a simple Polaroid that light waves are transverse in
nature. Intensity of light coming out of a Polaroid does not change irrespective of the orientation of
the pass axis of the Polaroid. Explain why? [3]
10. An object is placed 15 cm in front of a convex lens of focal length 10 cm. Find the nature and
position of the image formed. Where a concave mirror of radius of curvature 20 cm should be
placed so that the final image is formed at the position of the object itself? [3]

11. Two monochromatic rays of light are incident normally on the face AB of an isosceles right-angled
prism ABC. The refractive indices of the glass prism for the two rays '1' and '2' are respectively 1.38
and 1.52. Trace the path of these rays after entering through the prism.

12. (a) State Huygenss principle. Using this principle draw a diagram to show how a plane wave front
incident at the interface of the two media gets refracted when it propagates from a rarer to a denser
medium. Hence verify Snells law of refraction.
(b) When monochromatic light travels from a rarer to a denser medium, explain the following, giving
reasons:
(i) Is the frequency of reflected and refracted light same as the frequency of incident light?
(ii) Does the decrease in speed imply a reduction in the energy carried by light wave?
(c) Draw the sketches to differentiate between plane wave front and spherical wave front. [5]

13. (a) Draw a ray diagram showing the image formation by a compound microscope. Hence obtain
expression for total magnification when the image is formed at infinity.
(b) Distinguish between myopia and hypermetropia. Show diagrammatically how these defects can
be corrected. [5]

14. Derive the following relations for a prism [5]

a. i + e = A+
b. = A(+1) (for small angle of incidence and refraction)
(+ )

c. =

Draw the graph between and i (also derive the condition of m)

15. Write a short note on Scattering of light? [3]
