CHAPTER:RAY OPTICS AND OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS
1. THREE LIGHT RAYS RED (R), GREEN (G) AND BLUE (B) ARE INCIDENT ON A RIGHT ANGLED
PRISM 'ABC ' AT FACE 'AB'. T HE REFRACTIVE INDICES OF THE MATERIAL OF THE PRISM FOR
RED, GREEN AND BLUE WAVELENGTHS ARE 1.39, 1.44 AND 1.47 RESPECTIVELY . OUT OF
THE THREE WHICH COLOUR RAY WILL EMERGE OUT OF FACE 'AC' ? JUSTIFY YOUR ANSWER .
TRACE THE PATH OF THESE RAYS AFTER PASSING THROUGH FACE 'AB'.

2. YOU ARE GIVEN THREE LENSES 𝑳𝟏, 𝑳𝟐 AND 𝑳𝟑 EACH OF FOCAL LENGTH 20 CM. AN OBJECT
IS KEPT AT 40 CM IN FRONT OF 𝑳𝟏, AS SHOWN . T HE FINAL REAL IMAGE IS FORMED AT THE
FOCUS ‘I’ OF 𝑳𝟑. F IND THE SEPARATIONS BETWEEN 𝑳𝟏, 𝑳𝟐 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑳𝟑.
3. A CONVEX LENS OF REFRACTIVE INDEX 1.5 HAS A FOCAL LENGTH OF 18CM IN AIR.
CALCULATE THE CHANGE IN ITS FOCAL LENGTH WHEN IT IS IMMERSED IN WATER OF
REFRACTIVE INDEX 4/3.
4. THE RADII OF CURVATURE OF THE FACES OF A DOUBLE CONVEX LENS ARE 10 CM AND 15
CM. IF FOCAL LENGTH OF THE LENS IS 12 CM, FIND THE REFRACTIVE INDEX OF THE
MATERIAL OF THE LENS.
5. A CONVEX LENS OF FOCAL LENGTH 25 CM IS PLACED COAXIALLY IN CONTACT WITH A
CONCAVE LENS OF FOCAL LENGTH 20 CM. DETERMINE THE POWER OF THE COMBINATION .
WILL THE SYSTEM BE CONVERGING OR DIVERGING IN NATURE?
6. IN A COMPOUND MICROSCOPE, AN OBJECT IS PLACED AT 1.5 CM FROM THE OBJECTIVE LENS
OF FOCAL LENGTH 1.25 CM. IF THE EYE PIECE HAS A FOCAL LENGTH OF 5 CM AND THE
FINAL IMAGE IS FORMED AT THE NEAR POINT , ESTIMATE THE MAGNIFYING POWER OF THE
MICROSCOPE .
7. A SMALL TELESCOPE HAS AN OBJECTIVE LENS OF FOCAL LENGTH 150 CM AND EYEPIECE OF
5CM. WHAT IS THE MAGNIFYING POWER OF THE TELESCOPE VIEWING DISTANT IN NORMAL
ADJUSTMENT ? I F THIS TELESCOPE IS USED TO VIEW A 100 M TALL TOWER 3 KM AWAY.
WHAT IS HEIGHT OF THE IMAGE OF THE TOWER FORMED BY THE OBJECTIVE LENS?
8. A SMALL TELESCOPE HAS AN OBJECTIVE LENS OF FOCAL LENGTH 150 CM AND AN EYE
PIECE OF FOCAL LENGTH 5 CM. IF THIS TELESCOPE IS USED TO VIEW A 100 M HIGH TOWER 3
KM AWAY, FIND THE HEIGHT OF THE FINAL IMAGE WHEN IT IS FORMED 25 CM AWAY FROM
THE EYEPIECE .
9. THE TOTAL MAGNIFICATION PRODUCED BY A COMPOUND MICROSCOPE IS 20. THE
MAGNIFICATION PRODUCED BY THE EYE PIECE IS 5. T HE MICROSCOPE IS FOCUSED ON A

AY 2023-24
 CERTAIN OBJECT . THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE OBJECTIVE AND EYEPIECE IS OBSERVED TO
BE 14 CM. IF LEAST DISTANCE OF DISTINCT VISION IS 20 CM, CALCULATE THE FOCAL
LENGTH OF THE OBJECTIVE AND THE EYE PIECE .
10. A RAY PQ INCIDENT NORMALLY ON THE REFRACTING FACE BA IS REFLECTED IN THE PRISM
BAC MADE OF MATERIAL OF REFRACTIVE INDEX 1.5. COMPLETE THE PATH OF RAY
THROUGH THE PRISM. FROM WHICH FACE WILL THE RAY EMERGE? JUSTIFY YOUR ANSWER.

11. A RAY OF LIGHT, INCIDENT ON AN EQUILATERAL GLASS PRISM (= √2) MOVES PARALLEL
TO THE BASE LINE OF THE PRISM INSIDE IT, FIND THE ANGLE OF INCIDENCE FOR THIS RAY.
12. A RAY OF LIGHT PASSING THROUGH AN EQUILATERAL TRIANGULAR GLASS PRISM FROM AIR
UNDERGOES MINIMUM DEVIATION WHEN ANGLE OF INCIDENCE IS 3/4TH OF THE ANGLE OF
PRISM. CALCULATE THE SPEED OF LIGHT IN THE PRISM.
13. A RAY OF LIGHT INCIDENT NORMALLY ON ONE FACE OF A RIGHT ISOSCELES PRISM IS
TOTALLY REFLECTED AS SHOWN IN FIG .WHAT MUST BE THE MINIMUM VALUE OF
REFRACTIVE INDEX OF GLASS? GIVE RELEVANT CALCULATIONS .
