thickness of glass slab and angle of incidence.
3. Define minimum angle of deviation and establish the
relation between angle of prism, minimum angle of
deviation and refractive index of prism.
4. Define lens maker’s formula with necessary assumptions
and establish the relation for it in concave lens
5. What is chromatic aberration? Show that for a lens the
chromatic aberration is the product of dispersive power and
its mean focal length.
6. Discuss the construction and working of an astronomical
telescope when final image is formed at near point. Derive
