Question 4 :
Find the speed of light in medium ‘a’ if the speed of light in medium ‘b’ is c/3 where
c = speed of light in vacuum and light refracts from medium ‘a’ to medium ‘b’, making

Question 5 :
Find out the focal length of a biconvex lens placed in the air if the radius of curvature
of its surfaces are 60 cm and 15 cm and the refractive index of glass = 1.5.
Solution :
Consider a light ray going through the given lens, R1 R2
as shown in the figure. It strikes the convex side
of 60 cm radius of curvature and the concave

Solution :
Since the incident light is in a rarer medium, total internal reflection cannot take place.

Question 7 :
A thin rod of length f/3 is placed along the optical axis of a concave mirror of focal length
f such that its image, which is real and elongated, just touches the rod. Calculate the
magnification.

Solution :
According to the question, the
image touches the rod i.e., both u´
image and object coincide; hence
one end of the rod should be at
the centre of curvature. As the Rod

image is enlarged, it indicates that
the orientation of the rod should Image
f/3 u
be toward focus; then only we
can get an enlarged image along
the principal axis.
Let ‘l’ be the length of the image.
