Q. A thin convex lens made from crown glass $\left(\mu=\frac{3}{2}\right)$ has focal length ƒ. When it is measured in two different liquids having refractive indices $\frac{4}{3}$ and $\frac{5}{3}$ and , it has the focal length $f_{1}$ and $f_{2}$ respectively. The correct relation between the focal lengths is : (1) $f_{2}>f$ and $f_{1}$ becomes negative (2) $f_{1}$ and $f_{2}$ both become negative (3) $f_{1}=f_{2}<f$ (4) $f_{1}>f$ and $f_{2}$ become negative [JEE-Mains- 2014]

Q. A green light is incident from the water to the air – water interface at the critical angle ($\theta$). Select the correct statement. (1) The spectrum of visible light whose frequency is more than that of green light will come out to the air medium. (2) The entire spectrum of visible light will come out of the water at various angles to the normal (3) The entire spectrum of visible light will come out of the water at an angle of $90^{\circ}$ to the normal. (4) The spectrum of visible light whose frequency is less than that of green light will come out to the air medium. [JEE-Mains- 2014]

Sol. (4) Frequency of light () > frequency of green light ($v_{G}$) µ is also greater than $\mu_{\mathrm{G}}$ and critical angle of light is less than green light therefore light will got total internal reflaction and not come out to the air. For frequency of light $(v)<v_{\mathrm{G}}$ ; light will not suffer T.I.R. Therefore light come out to the air

Q. Monochromatic light is incident on a glass prism of angle A. If the refractive index of the material of the prism is $\mu$, a ray, incident at an angle $\theta$, on the face AB would get transmitted through the face AC of the prism provided : $(1) \theta>\cos ^{-1}\left[\mu \sin \left(A+\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\mu}\right)\right)\right]$ (2) $\theta<\cos ^{-1}\left[\mu \sin \left(A+\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\mu}\right)\right)\right]$ (3) $\theta>\sin ^{-1}\left[\mu \sin \left(A-\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\mu}\right)\right)\right]$ (4) $\theta<\sin ^{-1}\left[\mu \sin \left(A-\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\mu}\right)\right)\right]$ [JEE-Mains- 2015]

Sol. (3) Apply Snell’s law at face AB $1 \sin \theta=\mu \sin \left(r_{1}\right)$ $\theta=\sin ^{-1}\left(\mu \sin \left(A-\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\mu}\right)\right)\right.$ for all light transmitted through $\mathrm{AC}, \mathrm{e}<90^{\circ}$ $\Rightarrow \theta>\sin ^{-1}\left(\mu \sin \left(A-\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\mu}\right)\right)\right.$

A beam of parallel light falls on the diverging lens. The final image formed is : (1) real and at a distance of 40 cm from the divergent lens (2) real and at a distance of 6 cm from the conver (3) real and at a distance of 40 cm from convergent lens (4) virtual and at a distance of 40 cm from convergent lens.

Sol. (3) As parallel beam incident on diverging lens if forms virtual image at $\mathbf{V}_{1}$ = –25 cm from the diverging lense which works as a object for the converging lense (f = 20 cm) So for converging lens u = –40 cm, f = 20 cm $\therefore \quad$ Final image $\frac{1}{\mathrm{V}}-\frac{1}{-40}=\frac{1}{20}$ V = 40 cm from converging lenses.
