1) If the refractive index for water and glass are 4/3 and 5/3 respectively and the light is
tending to go from glass to water, then what is value of critical angle? [Ans- Sin-1(.8)]
2) If an object lies at a distance of 20cm from the convex surface of radius of curvature of
10cm in the rarer medium, then find the position of the image formed. Assume that the
refractive index of the denser medium is 2 and that of rarer medium is 1. [Ans- 40 cm]
3) The radius of curvature of each face of a biconcave lens, made of glass of refractive
index 1.5 is 30 cm. Calculate the focal length of the lens in air. [Ans- -30 cm]
4) A needle is placed 45 cm from a lens forms an image on a screen placed 90 cm on the
other side of the lens. What is the type of the lens? Find its focal length. If the length of
the needle is 5 cm. What is the length of the image? [Ans- 30cm, -10cm]
5) An illuminated object and the screen are placed 90 cm apart. What is focal length and
nature of the lens required to produce a clear image on the screen, twice the size of the
object? [Ans- +20cm, convex]
6) A double convex lens made of glass of refractive index 1.5 has both radii of curvature
of magnitude 20 cm. An object 2 cm high is placed at 10 cm from the lens. Find the
position, nature and size of the image? [ Ans- -20cm, virtual, 4cm]
7) A glass convex lens has a power of 10 D. When this lens is totally immersed in a liquid,
it acts as concave lens of focal length 50 cm. Calculate the refractive index of the liquid.
(Given ang = 1.5) [ Ans-1.67]
8) A concave lens is kept in contact with a convex lens of focal length 20 cm. The
combination works as convex lens of focal length 50 cm. Find the power of the concave
lens. [ Ans- -3 D]
9) A convex lens of focal length 10 cm and a concave lens of focal length 20 cm are kept
5 cm apart. Find the focal length of the equivalent lens. [Ans- 13.33 cm]
10) Find the distance of the final image from the 3rd lens. Focal length of lens I is 0.1m,
focal length of lens II is – 0.1m and that of 3rd lens is 0.3m.
