PHYSICS OPTICS

DISPERSION Dispersion Light : When a beam of composite light (consisting of several wavelength) passes through a prism, it splits into its constituent colours. This phenomenon is called dispersion and the band of colour obtained on a screen is called the spectrum. If white light is used, seven colours are obtained.

Production of pure spectrum : Newton’s spectrum of sunlight is an impure spectrum because the different coloured images overlap. A pure spectrum is one in which the different coloured images contain light of one colour only, i.e., they are monochromatic images. In order to obtain a pure spectrum. i) the white light must be admitted through a very narrow opening, so as to assist in the reduction of the overlapping of the images. ii) the beams of coloured rays emerging from the prism must be parallel, so that each beam can be brought to a separate focus.

The spectrometer can be used to provide a pure spectrum. The collimator slit is made very narrow and the collimator C and the telescope T are both adjusted for parallel light. A bright source of white light S is placed near the slit and the prism P is usually set in the minimum deviation position for yellow light, although this is not essential. The ray refracted through P are now separated into a number of different coloured parallel beams of light each travelling in slightly different directions, and the telescope bring each coloured beam to a separate focus. A pure spectrum can now be seen through T, consisting of a series of monochromatic images of the slit. Types of spectra : Spectra are of two types - a) Emission and (b) Absorption spectra. Emission spectra : Spectra obtained from luminous bodies are called emission spectra. Such spectra are of three types. i) Line spectrum : A line spectrum consists of narrow bright lines separated by dark intervals. Line spectra are emitted by substances in the atomic state and are characteristic of the substances emitting them. ii) Band spectrum : A band spectrum consists of a number of bright separated by dark intervals. Band spectra are emitted by substances in the molecular state. A band consists of a large number of close lines.

PHYSICS iii) Continuous spectrum: A continuous spectrum consists of an unbroken sequence of wavelengths (or colours) over a wide range. Continuous spectra are emitted by solids, liquids and highly compressed gases heated to high temperature. A continuous spectrum is not characteristic of the nature of the source but depends only on the temperature. Absorption spectra : When white light passes through a semi-transparent solid, liquid or gas, its spectrum contains certain dark lines or bands showing that certain wavelengths have been absorbed. Such a spectrum is called the absorption spectrum of the substances through which light is passed. Substances in atomic state produce line absorption spectra and substances in molecular state produce band absorption spectra. A substance in vapour state absorbs light of the same wave lengths as it would emit at the same temperature. For example, if white light is made to pass through sodium vapour, the continuous spectrum will have two dark lines corresponding to the two yellow lines of sodium. Fraunhofer lines : The solar spectrum shows several dark lines crossing the other continuous spectrum. These are called Fraunhofer lines. The central part of the sun, called the photosphere, which is at very high temperature ( ≈ 107°C ) emits white light. When this light passes through the chromospheres, which is at a much lower temperature ( 6000°C ), the gases absorb light of certain wavelengths, resulting in a reduced intensity of these wavelengths. The study of Fraunhofer lines has given information about the presence of various elements in the atmosphere of the sun. Atmospheric refraction : The apparent shift in the position of the sun at sunrise and sunset: This effect is due to atmospheric refraction of light and can be explained as below:

The line XY represents the horizon for an observer O on the surface of the earth. Near the surface of the earth air is a little denser than outer atmosphere and its refractive index is 1.00029 w.r.t outer space. Therefore, a ray of light travelling from the sun towards earth, travels from outer space to air, which is optically a little denser. Due to this, it undergoes refraction and therefore deviates towards the normal. To the observer O on the surface of earth, the sun appears at S′. The apparent shift in the direction of the sun is only 0.5° and the time difference between actual sunset and the apparent sunset is about 2 minutes. The apparent flattening of the disc of the sun at sunset and sunrise is also due to the same reason. Twinkling of stars : The refractive index of atmosphere changes with height. Even at the same level, the refractive index of air varies periodically. The rays of light from a star are sometimes concentrated at a point when it appears bright, next moment the concentration of rays decreases and the star appears faint. The planets being nearer, the amount of light received from them is greater and so the variation of brightness is not appreciable.

PHYSICS Scattering of light in atmosphere : Blue colour of sky : When light from the sun travels through earth’s atmosphere, it gets scattered by the large number of molecules of various gases. It is found that the amount of scattering by molecules, called ray light scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength. Thus light of shorter wavelengths is scattered much more than the light of longer wavelengths since blue colour has relatively shorter wavelength, it predominates and sky appears bluish. Colour of clouds: Large particles like water droplets and dust do not have this selective scattering power. They scatter wavelengths almost equally. Hence clouds appear to be white. Colour of the sun at sunrise and sunset: At sunrise or sunset, the sun is near horizon. Light from the sun therefore has to pass through a larger thickness of the atmosphere than to noon when the sun is overhead. Due to this, more of the blue light is scattered away the sun appears reddish at sunrise and sunset. Optical Instrument Simple microscope: A single convex lens behaves as a simple microscope. If the object (AB) is placed within focus of a convex lens, then the convex lens forms its magnified and erect images on the same side as that of object.

Magnifying power of this microscope is Angle subtended by image at eye (β) M=  Angle subtended by the object ( AB ) when it is supposed to be placed at    least distance for distinct vision or in the position of final image A B α ( )( ) 1 2   AB AB tan β A1 B . A1 L ∴ M= = = 1 1= 1 1 tan α A1 L . A1 B2 A1 B2 AB

In similar triangles A1 B1 L and ABL,

A1 B1 v = AB u

∴ M =

v u

1 1 1 = − f v u Both u and v are negative, we have 1 1 1 v v v D =− + or, = +1 or, M = 1 + = 1 + where D is the least distance for distinct f v u u f f f vision. Since D is fixed, ‘f ’ should be small for large magnifying power. Compound microscope : It consists of a long cylindrical metallic tube carrying at one end an achromatic convex lens O of small focal length, and small aperture. This is called objective lens. At the other end of this tube is fitted an achromatic convex lens E whose focal length and aperture are more than that of objective. Cross-wires are mounted on the focus of the eyepiece. But,

PHYSICS Formation of Image : The object AB lies just outside the focus of objective O which forms its real, bigger and inverted image at A1 B1 . This image lies between the pole and focus of the eyepiece and forms its virtual

inverted image A2 B2 . However if the image A1 B1 lies at the focus of eyepiece, then the final image will be formed at infinity (relaxed eye). Magnifying power : Angle subtended by image at eye ( β ) M= Angle subtended by the object at eye when the object is

supposed to be placed at the position of the finalimage ( α ) ∴

M=

β tan β A1 B1 ( ve ) = = α tan α ( −ue ) AB

But in similar triangles ABO and A1 B1O, Therefore M = −

Therefore,

v0 ve . . u0 ue

1 1 1 = + f e ve ue

But

or,

A1 B1 v0 = AB u0

1 1 1 = − , f e ve ue

1 1 1 + = f e ve ue

ve and ue are both negative.

or,

ve v = 1+ e ue fe

ve  D  v  D = 1 +  or, M = − 0 + 1 +  and the length of microscope is L = ve + ue ue  fe  u0  fe  However, if the final images is formed at infinity, then ve = D but ue = fe But ve = D



Therefore M = −

v0 D and the length of microscope is L = ve + f e . u0 f e

Note: To increase the magnifying power of the microscope : a) Focal length of objective should be small. b) Object should be placed very near to first focus of objective. c) Focal length of eyepiece should be small. Magnifying power of telescopes (angular magnification) : Angular magnification of telescopes is defined as Anglesubtended by image at eye ( β ) M= Anglesubtended by the object at eye when the object is in its actual position ( α )

PHYSICS Astronomical telescope: Construction: It consists of a long cylindrical metallic tube carrying an achromatic convex lens of large focal length and large aperture. This lens faces the object therefore it is called the ‘objective lens.’ At the other end of the tube a smaller tube is fitted which can be moved in and out of the bigger tube with the help of rack and pinion arrangement. At the other end of the smaller tube is fitted an achromatic convex lens of small focal length and small aperture. This lens faces the eye, therefore it is known as eyepiece. Cross wires are mounted in the smaller tube and at the focus of the eyepiece.

Formation of image : Figure shows the objective lens L1 and eyepiece L2 of the telescope. The lens

L1 forms a small, inverted, real image of the distant object AB on its own second focus Fo . This image lies within first focus Fe of the eyepiece. This image A1 B1 acts as an object for the eyepiece and the eyepiece forms a virtual, erect ( w.r.t. A1 B1 ) and magnified final image A2 B2 . Magnifying power : The angular magnification Anglesubtended byimage at eye ( β ) M= Anglesubtended by object at eye when the object is in its actual position ( α )

Since, β and α are small, tan β = β; tan α = α M=

f tan β A1 B1 × A1 L1 A1 L1 = = = 0 tan α A1 L2 × A1 B1 A1 L2 −ue

This is the general formula for magnifying power. Now two cases arise : i) When the final image is formed at least distance of distinct vision: If the distance of the final 1 1 1 image A2 B2 from the eyepiece be D, than while applying the lens formula, − = v u f For the eyepiece we shall have v = − D, u = −ue and f = + fe ∴

1 1 1 =− − fe D −ue

or,

Substituting this value of

f  1 1 1 1 = + = 1 + e  ue f e D f e  D f  f  1 in equation (i), we get, M = − 0 1 + e  ue fe  D

Length of the telescope in this position is ‘L’ = f 0 + ue ii) When the final image is formed at infinity: To see with relaxed eye the final image should be formed at infinity. For this, the distance between the eyepiece and the objective is adjusted so that the image A1 B1 formed by the objective O is at the focus Fe of the eyepiece ( ue = f e ) . This adjustment of the telescope is called ‘normal adjustment’.

PHYSICS

Substituting ue = fe in equation (i), we get M = − f 0 f e

In this position the length of the telescope is maximum and is given by L = f 0 + fe . HUMAN EYES : Power of accommodation : The purpose of the lens of a human eye is to form a real image on the retina. In order to focus objects located at different distances, the focal length of the lens of the eye changes by muscular effects. The ability of the eye lens to adjust its own focal length is known as accommodation. For close vision muscles have to compress the edge of the eye lens so that the lens may become a thick lens of smaller focal length.

For the normal eye, far point is at infinity and near point is at D = 25 cm In doing so the muscles are in tension. This explains why a normal eye cannot see comfortably objects closer than certain limit known as least distance of distinct vision. The distance is usually 25 cm for a normal eye. Thus the near-point for a normal eye is at about 25 cm. When the muscles are relaxed, the eye lens has small curvature and large focal length. A normal eye can see distant objects without any strain. In fact the far-point for a normal eye is at infinite distance. A normal eye can see objects over wide range of distances from 25 cm to infinity, but a defective eye is not able to see objects for such a wide range of distance. Adaption : As known to everybody, the function of the pupil is to control the quantity of light entering the eye. It involuntarily contracts or dilates according as the external light is strong or weak. This process is known as adaptation. The contraction or dilation of the pupil is, however, not instantaneous; it requires a few seconds. At night when the electric light is suddenly switched off, a person in the room feels almost blind, but gradually he recovers the sensation of vision. This is because, when the electric light was on, the pupil was small. When the light is put off, generally a small quantity of light still enters the room through doors, windows etc. But the pupil being small, very small quantity of light still enters the eye to produce the sensation of vision and the person feels blind. But gradually the pupil dilates and after sometimes it becomes fairly large so that more light enters the eye and the person sees almost everything in the room. Similarly a person going out of a dark room into bright sunlight feels dazzled for a moment, gradually his pupils contract and he sees things clearly.

PHYSICS Defect of vision : A normal eye by virtue of accommodation can focus parallel rays on the retina and can see distinctly an object at any position from a very great distance to the nearest point of distinct vision. As eye which fails to do this is called defective The two common defects are (i) short sight or myopia and (ii) long sight or hypermetropia. Besides there are other two defects. e.g. (iii) presbyopia and (iv) astigmatism. The first three defects involve displacement of the near or the far point or both. Myopia : When an eye cannot see objects clearly beyond certain distance, the eye is said to be short sighted or myopic. This happens when the focal length of the eye-lens becomes too short or the eyeball becomes much elongated. Under this condition, parallel rays of light coming from distant object meet at a point in front of the retina, and hence the distant objects cannot be seen clearly. The far point of myopic eye is nearer than infinity, usually quite close to the eye. The nearer point may be within a few centimetre of the eye.

Remedy : To see a distant object its virtual image must be brought to the far point F of the eye (fig 2). The fig 1 shows a myopic eye. The eye-lens due to elongation is more converging than necessary. This defect can be removed by using a concave lens (diverging lens), with its principal focus at F must be used close to the eye (fig 2). A short sighted person whose far point is nearer to the eye than 25cm must use glasses even for reading such glasses must also be divergent. Hypermetropia : When eye cannot see near objects distinctly, it is said to be long-sighted or hypermetropic. When the focal length of the eye lens becomes longer or the eye-ball becomes shortened, hypermetropia develops. Under this condition parallel rays of light after refraction through the eye lens meet at a point behind the retina. Distant objects may be seen by exerting accommodation, while near objects cannot be seen clearly. Unless a beam is convergent a hypermetropic eye cannot without accommodation bring it to a focus on retina. The far point is thus virtual. It may also happen that the eye is altogether incapable of bringing any divergent bundle to a focus on the retina. The near point is then also virtual and lies behind the retina.

Remedy: The fig 1 shows the condition of a long-sighted eye. This defect is due to the reflecting system of the eye being too weak for the cornea-to-retina distance. It can be corrected by strengthening the refraction with the help of a convex lens (fig 2) of suitable focal length so that parallel rays of light after passing through the lens may form image on the retina. If the near point of hypermetropic eye is d cm away from eye, the lens must be such that an object at the normal distance (D) of the near point (i.e.25cm) from an image at a distance d cm away from the eye i.e., at the near point of hypermetropic eye.

PHYSICS

So u = + D cm and v = + d cm, and

1 1 1 1 1 = − = − f v u d D

Presbyopia: With advance of age, ciliary muscles become loose and the accommodation decreases. An appropriate concave lens is used to see clearly objects of near distance. But this lens does not work for the distant objects. Therefore, the upper half of the spectacle glass is made of one kind of lens and lower half of other kind. Astigmatism : This is a defect that rises when the cornea is not spherical but has larger curvature in one plane than in the other. This results in objects in one direction being well focussed while those in a perpendicular direction are not. This is corrected by glasses with lenses of cylindrical rather spherical shape. This defect is called astigmatism. --------------

When a convex lens is placed between the object and the screen at a distance of 15 cm from the object, than an image is formed on the screen, having a size 5 times the size of the object. Calculate the focal length of the lens and the distance between the object and the screen. How much the lens be displaced towards the screen so that again a distinct image of the object be formed on the screen? What will be the magnification of this image? OPTICAL INSTRUMENT 59. A telescope has an object of focal length 50cm and an eyepiece of focal length 5cm. The least distance of distinct vision is 25cm. The telescope is focussed for distinct vision on a scale 200 cm away from the objective. Calculate (i) the separation between the objective and the eyepiece and (ii) the magnification produced? 60 The focal lengths of the objective and the eyepiece of a compound microscope are 1 cm and 5 cm respectively. An object, placed at a distance of 1.1cm from the objective has its final image formed at a distance of 25cm from the eye. Find the magnifying power of the microscope. 61. The objective and eyepiece of a microscope have focal lengths of 1 cm and 2 cm respectively and are separated by 12cm. A person whose distance of distinct vision is 25cm uses the microscope to see a small object. Where must the object be placed? 62. A compound microscope is composed of an objective and an eyepiece of focal length 0.5cm and 1.5cm respectively. Assuming that the least distance of distinct vision as 25cm, calculate the spacing required between the objective and eyepiece in order that the magnifying power is 500. 63. A person’s near point is 50cm and far point is 1.5m. What spectacles will be required (a) for reading purpose and (b) for seeing distant object? Least distance of distinct vision is 25cm. ANSWER 1. u = 10 cm, m = 4 Thus v = 4 × 10 = 40 cm (v is positive since the image is real) 1 1 2 1 1 2 40 Now, using + = we get, or, r = 2 × = 16 cm + = v u r 40 10 r 5 Since, this a concave mirror r is positive as expected. u 1 2 r = – 20 cm, m = thus v = 2 2 Since a convex mirror can form only virtual images the image distance is negative. 1 1 2 Using the equation + = v u r 1 1 2 2 1 1 1 1 or, or, − = − or, u = 10 cm We get, + = − + =− v u 20 u u 10 u 10

Therefore the object is at a distance of 10cm from the mirror. 3.

Here the image produced by the concave mirror acts as the object for the convex mirror. Now, for concave mirror, u = + 10 cm and r = + 15 cm 1 1 2 or, v = + 30 cm + = ∴ From mirror equation, v 10 15 Hence the image is formed 30 cm in front of the concave mirror i.e. image is real and inverted.

PHYSICS v 30 = = 3 ∴ Size of the image = 3 × 3 = 9 cm u 10 Now for convex mirror, u = 35 – 30 = 5 cm (+ve) and r = – 25 cm 1 1 2 25 or, v = − = −3.57 cm ∴ From mirror equation, + = − v 5 25 7 Hence the final image lies 3.57cm behind the convex mirror and it is virtual and erect w.r.t. the intermediate image i.e. the final image is inverted w.r.t. the object. 3.57 5 5 Also m2 = ∴ Size of the final image = × size of the intermediate image = 5 7 7 5 = × 9 = 6.43 cm 7 1 1 1 1 1 25 + 11 We have, u = 11ft; v = 25ft. ∴ = + = + = f v u 25 11 25 ×11

Also, m1 =

∴ f = 7.64 ft. [Distance measured in the direction opposite to the incident ray is assumed positive]. As the focal length is +ve, so the mirror is concave. v 25 Also magnification, m = = = 2.27 u 11 Thus image is real, inverted and 2.27 times magnified than the object. 1 or, u = 3v m = v /u = 3 1 1 1 We know = + . Here u is negative. f v u 1 1 1 ∴ ∴ v = 8 cm behind the mirror ∴ u = 3v = 24 cm in front of the mirror. = − 12 v 3v The image formation is shown in the figure i) For concave mirror, u1 = 25 cm, f1 = 20 cm and v1 = ? Now,

1 1 1 = + f1 u1 v1

or,

1 1 1 = + 20 25 v1

∴ v1 = 100 cm As v1 is positive, hence the image is real. In the absence of convex mirror, the rays after reflection from concave mirror would have formed a real image I1 at distance 100 cm from the mirror. Due to presence of convex mirror, the rays are reflected and appear to come from I 2 . ii) In this case I1 acts as virtual object and I 2 is the virtual image. The distance of the virtual object from the convex mirror is 100 – 50 = 50 cm. Hence u2 = −50 cm. As focal length of convex mirror is negative and hence f 2 = − Here we shall calculate the value v2

30 = −15cm 2

PHYSICS

Using mirror formula, we have −

1 1 1 =− + 15 50 v2

or, v2 = −21.43cm

As v2 is negative, image is virtual. So image is formed behind the convex mirror at a distance of 7.

21.43 cm. In the adjoining figure F is the focus of the concave mirror M 1 . O is the position of the object. I is the position of the image due to reflection at plane mirror M 2 , which by question, is also the position of the image due to reflection at the concave mirror. By question, PQ = 22.5 cm. Let, PO = x cm. Then OQ = {22.5 – x} cm and QI = OQ ∴ PI = PQ + QI = 22.5 + ( 22.5 − x ) = {45 − x) cm

For reflection at the concave mirror, u = PO = x cm, v = PI = (45 – x) cm and f = 10 cm (given) 1 1 1 Therefore, from mirror equation, + = , solving we get x = 15 cm or, 30 cm 45 − x x 10 The distance between the two mirrors being 22.5 cm, the solution x = 30 cm is inadmissible, since in that case the object will be behind the plane mirror and no image of it can be formed due to reflection at plane mirror. Hence the object must be placed between the two mirrors 15 cm away from the concave one. P is the position of the object when there is no slab, u = 32 cm; f = 10 cm, v = ? 1 1 1 1 1 1 11 or, = − We have, + = = v 32 10 v 10 32 160 160 ∴ v= = 14.5 cm 11 v 160 ∴ Magnification, m = = = 0.45 u 11× 32 When the slab A is placed, the rays from P appear to come from P′, whose displacement from

The distance of the plane mirror NN ′ from the object is 30 cm. We know that in a plane mirror the image is formed behind the mirror at the same distance as the object in front of it. It is also given that there is no parallax between the images formed by the two mirrors i.e., the image is formed at a distance of 30 cm behind the plane mirror. For convex mirror, u = 50 cm, v = – 10 cm as v is negative in convex mirror. (∵ QP = QN − PN )

or, v = +8 cm

The distance between the object and its convex mirror image = 40 + 8 = 48 cm. Since in a plane mirror the image is as much behind the mirror as the object is in front of it, the 48 distance of the plane mirror from the object must be cm = 24 cm 2 12 Here two situations are possible. i) When real magnified image is formed v In this case u, v both are positive and f = 15.

13. The image formation is shown in figure. First of all we shall consider the image formed by concave mirror. Consider the direction shown in figure. We have, R = – 40 cm and u = – 5 cm. Using the mirror formula, we get 1 1 2 + = u v R 1 2 1 or, = − v R u 1 2 1 6 or, = − = v −40 −5 40 40 ∴ v= cm = 6.67 cm 6 As v is positive, the image P1 is formed below the mirror (virtual). The reflected rays are refracted at water surface. The depth of point P1 from the water surface is 6.67 + 5.00 = 11.67. Due to presence of water, the image P1 will be shifted above by a distance 1   = 11.67 1 − = 2.92 cm  1.33  ∴ Final image is formed at a point (11.67 – 2.92) cm = 8.75 cm below water surface. 14. Focal length of the mirror f = R/2= 2.4 cm 1 1 1 Using mirror formula in first case, we have = + (u is negative) f v u 1 1 1 = + ∴ v = 1.94 cm behind the mirror v 10 2.4 1 1 1 In the second case : = or, v′ = 1.09 cm behind the mirror + v′ 2.4 2 The shift of image is (1.94 – 1.09) = 0.85 cm 1 1 2 15. From spherical mirror equation, + = . For a plane mirror, r = ∞ v u r 1 1 2 ∴ In the case of a plane mirror, + = = 0 ⇒ v = − u v u ∞ ∴ image distance = – (object distance) 16. Let, u and v be the object distance and image distance. Then the distance between the object and the image I = u + v dI d dv If I is minimum, = 0 or, ( u + v ) = 0 ⇒ = −1 du du du 1 1 1 For a real image, + = v u f

If the rays from P, after being refracted by water are incident on the spherical mirror at C normally, the rays will retrace their path and will from image at P. So, if CN is produced it will pass through the centre of curvature O of the concave mirror. In other words, CNO is a radius of curvature of the mirror. Let MN is drawn perpendicular to the surface of water at N. Here the angle of incidence i = ∠PNM = ∠NPA and the angle of refraction r = ∠CNE = ∠NOA sin i sin ∠NPA NA / PN ON If µ be the refractive index of water, then µ = = = = sin r sin ∠NOA NA / ON PN OA PA Again if the depth of water AB is negligible compared to PA or OA (amount of water is very OB small), then OA = OB and PA = PB . Hence µ = PB Now, OB = radius of curvature = 30 cm and PB =distance of the pin = 22cm ∴µ = 30 / 22 = 1.36

Here the problem is to find the position of object such that its image coincides with it. Let O be the required position. OBAN represents the path of the ray which retraces its path and forms the image at O. This is only possible when AN falls normally on the concave mirror. In another words we can say the if NA is produced it must pass through O′ i.e., the centre of curvature of the mirror. So O′ is the centre of curvature of concave mirror i.e., PO′ = 10 cm .

So the distance of the object O from the mirror = PO ′ + O′O = 10 + 1 = 11cm 24. A ray of light OA is incident on the glass plate and it is partly reflected (AB) and partly refracted (AC) at point A. In figure, ∠OAN = ∠NAB = i (Since the angle of incidence and angle of reflection are equal) Now, ∠N ′AC = r or, ∠i + ∠r = 90° or, r = 90° − 1 ∴ According to the question, ∠BAY + ∠CAY = 90° From Snell’s Law, a µ g =

25. Ray of light OA is incident on the block. At the point A it is refracted into the slab in the direction AB. At B the ray emerges out in direction BD which is parallel to incidence direction. Therefore, according to the question, AB = 5cm, i = 60°, µ = 3

So, the incident ray PQ and the emergent ray from the point T are parallel. Let, at the point Q, the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction are i1 and r1 respectively. As the prism is right angled, so the angle of incidence at the point R = 90° − r1 [∵ r1 + r2 = 90°] . If r3 be the angle of refraction at the point R then the angle of incidence at the point S = 90° − r3 . If r4 be the angle of refraction at S then the angle of incidence at the point T = 90° − r4 . Again the emergent ray and the incident ray PQ are parallel to each other. So, the angle of emergence at the point T = 90° − i1 . Now at the point Q considering refraction, sin i1 = µ1 sin r1

or, sin 2 i1 = µ12 sin 2 r1

If we consider refraction at the point R then µ1 sin ( 90° − r1 ) = µ 2 sin r3 ∴ µ12 cos 2 r1 = µ 2 2 sin 2 r3

... (ii)

For the point S, µ 2 sin ( 90° − r3 ) = µ3 sin r4

∴ µ 2 2 cos 2 r3 = µ32 sin 2 r4 ... (iii)

... (i)

PHYSICS Ultimately for the point T, µ3 sin ( 90° − r4 ) = sin ( 90° − i1 ) Combining the equations (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), µ12 + µ 32 = 1 + µ 22

∴ µ32 cos 2 r4 = cos 2 i1 ... (iv) ∴ µ12 + µ 32 − µ 22 = 1

40. In the prism A the angular dispersion of red and blue light, light δ A = 16 − 10 = 6° Similarly, in the prism B, angular dispersion of red and blue light, light δ B = 14 − 8 = 6° Clearly, δ A = δ B i.e., both the prism have the same angular dispersion. But in the prism A deviation of the intermediate ray = B=

6 6 , dispersive power of the prism B ( ωB ) = 13 11 ∴ω B > ω A , dispersive ispersive power of prism B > dispersive power of prism A.

∴ Dispersive power of prism A ( ω A ) =

41. i)

When light passes symmetrically through a prism the deviation is minimum. minimum A In that condition, r1 = r2 = and i1 = i2 . Now δ m = ( i1 + i2 ) − A = 2i1 − A . 2 A Also, r1 = = 80° / 2 = 40° 2 sin i1 If, i1 be the angle of incidence, incidence =µ sin r1 ∴ sin i1 = µ sin r1 = 1.5sin 40° = 1.5 × 0.6428 = 0.9642 ∴ sin i1 = sin 74°37′

or, i1 = 74°37′.

Again δ m = 2i1 − A = 2 × 74°37′ − 80 = 69°14′ A = 40° . Further, sin i1 = µ × sin 40° 2 Now, the value of sin i1 cannot be greater than 1, so we can write

ii) Since the ray passes symmetrically, r1 =

1 1 = = 1.56 sin 40° 0.6428 Here i1 = 90°, so, δ = 2i1 − A = 2 × 90° − 80° = 100°

Refer for fig (a) It is evident that ∠E = ∠F = 45° Since at B the ray AB is reflected, therefore ∠i = ∠r = 45° 1 1 For internal reflection, sin i ≥ sin c ≥ ≥ µ sin 45° ∴ µ min = 1.414

43. Given that, i1 = 60°,

A = 30°, δ = 30°

Now, δ = i1 + i2 − A ∴ 30° = 60° + i2 − 30°

or, i2 = 0

i.e., the ray emerges out perpendicular to the face through which it emerges. Now since i2 = 0, r2 = 0 From A = r1 + r2 ,

30° = r1 + 0

Hence, at first face, µ =

or, r1 = 30°

sin i1 sin 60° = = 3 sin r1 sin 30°

44. The ray PQ is incident normally on the face AB of the prism ABC. Then it is totally reflected from the face AC. So, r2 = θC when θC = critical angle between glass and water. ∴ r2 = sin −1 (1 / µ ) = sin −1 ( 2 / 3 ) = sin −1 ( 0.67 ) = 41.8°

Now, if the prism is immersed in water, refractive index of glass with respect to water is u µ g = 1.5 / 1.33 = 1.128 So, the critical angle at glass water interface is

θc′ = sin −1 (1/1.128 ) = sin −1 ( 0.886 ) = 62.46° ∴ r2 < θc′ So, if the prism is immersed in water then the rays will not be totally reflected. It will be refracted to water at the face AC. 45. As the incident ray grazes the refracting surface of the prism, so the angle of refraction equals to the critical angle. As A = r1 + r2 and here r1 = θc ∴ r2 = A − θc Now for refraction at the second surface, µ =

So, ∠PQR = ∠QRT = 2 A = ∠TRS ∴ ∠LRS = 90° − 2 A = 90° − θ ∴ θ = 2 A ∴ A + θ + 0 = 180° Or, A + 2 A + 2 A = 180° or, A = 36° and θ = 72°

48. We have, A > 2C If i1 = 0°, r1 = 0°. But, r1 + r2 = A ∴ r2 = A If i = 90° , r1 = C

∴ r2 = A − C

∴ r2 > 2C

But, A > 2C

∴ r2 > C

Thus, whatever be the value of i1 ranging from 0° to 90° light is incident on the second face of the prism at an angle greater than critical angle and is totally reflected, so that there is no emergent ray. Thus, the limiting angle of a prism is twice the critical angle. THIN LENS 1 2 1 2 49. In the first case we have, = + = [∵ f m = ∞ ] ... (1) 28 f I f m f I In the second case we have,

Hence, the lens is convex and its focal length is 10 cm. 53. Let f be the focal length.

Multiple images are formed by the thick mirror due to reflections from the front surface as well as from the silvered back surface of the mirror. The second image is the brightest as it is formed by the refracted part of the incident beam. Dull paper is a diffusely reflecting surface. A diffuse reflecting surface can be seen from any point in front of the surface, this is independent of the direction along which the incident light travels. The surface appears equally bright from all directions. That is why dull paper is better for reading than glossy paper. The incident and reflected rays lie in the same plane. So the image cannot reverse up and down. The surface of the leather is usually rough and from the shoes made of leather diffused reflection of light takes place and hence shoes do not look shinning. On polishing the surface of the leather becomes smooth and due to regular reflection of light from the polished surface the shoes look shinning. Light from outer bodies of the surroundings enter into the room. At the same time, strong light inside the room after reflection from glass reaches the observer. But intensity of reflected light is comparatively very high, so the bodies cannot be seen distinctly. But when the light inside the room is switched off, only light from outer objects reach the observer and hence the observer can see the outer objects easily.

M1M1′ is the initial position of the mirror of the galvanometer. Now when the point (optical point) goes from O to O1 , the deflection of mirror is θ . The final position of the mirror is M 2 M 2′ . So, the angle between the

reflected rays = 2θ. Now tan 2θ = 40 / 200 ∴ 2θ = 1/ 5 radian ∴ θ = 1 /10 and = 5.72° ∴ The angular deflection of the coil = 5.72° 8. A thin film of water covering a moist object reflects the incident white light in a particular direction and its own colour becomes predominant. Dry objects diffuse white light in all directions. That is why the colours of the moist objects are seen richer and deeper than those at the dry objects. 9. In case of concave mirror, if u be the object distance, v be the image distance and f be the focal 1 1 1 length, then the relation between u, v and f is + = . From this relation we can evaluate the v u f image distance for a definite object distance. Since u and v are independent of medium, so the above relation is also independent of medium. So, if the object and mirror are immersed in water, no change in image distance v will take place. f 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 10. Here image is virtual, u = Now, = − or, = − = − 2 v f u v f f f v f ∴ Magnification, m = = =2 ∴ v=−f u f /2 11. Concave mirror is used as reflector is search light as head light of a motor-car. When a light source is placed at the centre of curvature of concave mirror, the light rays of back-side after reflection (by the mirror) become parallel and traverse in forward direction. So, the amount of light in the front-side increases by a large amount. So, it becomes easier to visualize the objects at night.

If i be the angle of incidence and r be the angle of refraction, then from Snell’s Law, sin i sin i sin 45° 1 µ= ∴ sin r = = = ∴ r = 30° sin r µ 2 2 ∴ The required angle of deviation δ = i − r = 45° − 30° = 15° 16. We know that when an object of same R.I (as the medium) is placed in a medium, the object becomes invisible. Because as the refractive index is same, no reflection or refraction occurs from the plane of separation of the media. So, the object cannot be seen. Now the R.I.’s of glass and glycerine are equal. That is why when a glass rod is immersed in glycerine, it becomes invisible. 17. If θc be the critical angle when refraction occurs from diamond to air, sin θc =1 µ =1 2.42 = 0.4132 . ∴ θc = 24.4° . But we know that if the angle of incidence of light is greater than the critical angle of the medium, total reflection of the light occurs. As the critical angle of diamond is 24.4° , all of the rays whose angle of incidence are greater than 25°, get totally reflected. 18. The critical angle of glass is about 40.5° where as the critical angle for diamond is 24.5°. Thus a larger number of multiple reflections occurs inside diamond than in glass. Light entering from different faces go through a number of reflections and hence produce sparkling effect. Velocity of light in vacuum (c) 19. The absolute refractive index of a medium = Velocity of light in medium (v) The velocity of light is the highest in vacuum. For all other media v < c or, c v > 1 . So, the absolute refractive index of any medium will always be greater than 1. −4

20. Scattering is proportional to ( wave length ) . Now wavelength of red colour is more than the wavelength of yellow colour. So red light is scattered less than yellow light. So range of visibility is more for red light than yellow light. That’s why red light is used in danger signal. 21. The points on the principal axis which are such that if an object is placed at one point image will be obtained at the other are called as the conjugate points. The mirror is a concave one.

22. Ripples which are large in number form images almost in continuation of each other and hence the impression of a very elongated light. 23. Yes, light can be piped from one point to another with little loss by allowing it to enter one end of a rod of transparent material. The light will undergo total internal reflection at the wall of the rod and will proceed along its axis. This has actually been achieved by using a bundle of glass fibres. 24. This is due to the unequal refraction of rays diverging from the lower and upper ends of the Sun. Rays from the lower edge have to go through a greater thickness of air than rays from the upper edge. So the vertical diameter appears to be diminished in size, whereas the horizontal diameter remains unaltered. PRISM 25. The situation is shown in figure. The faces AB and AC of the hollow prism act like plates. PQ is a ray of white light incident on face AB. This is refracted along QR and emerges as RS in air parallel to PQ. Now it falls on the face AC, refracted along ST and finally emerges along TV. As the rays of all colours from hollow prism in the same direction, there is no dispersion and so no spectrum is obtained. 26. Blue light will be deviated more than red light. Deviation δ = ( µ − 1) A , where µ is the refractive index of prism material and A is the angle of prism. The refractive index increases with decreasing wavelength. Since λ Red > λ Blue , µ B > µ R i.e., refractive index in case of blue light is greater than the refractive index of red light. Since the amount of deviation increases with the refractive index of the material of the prism, therefore, it can be said that deviation of blue light will be more than the deviation of red light. 27. Total internal reflection takes place in right-angled isosceles prisms used for reflection in periscopes to produce bright image. Moreover, this can be used for a long time as mercury layer is not given for reflection unlike plane mirrors. 28 When refractive index of material of the prism is smaller than that of the surrounding medium, the emergent ray bends towards the edge of the prism. 29. When the green object is illuminated by white light, the object looks green. Since, white light is a combination of green and other six colours, when white light falls on the object, the green coloured light is reflected by the object and rest of the colours are absorbed. So, the object looks green. But if the object is illuminated by red light, it looks black because now the green object absorbs red light as we know that absence of all colours is the reason of black colour. 30. The separation of colours present in a polychromatic light is called dispersion. Lights of different colours travel with different velocities in a material medium. This gives rise the phenomenon of dispersion. But in vacuum all the seven colours of light travel with same velocity. Hence, no dispersion of light is possible in vacuum. 31. Rainbow is produced if the light rays incident on the rain drops undergo refraction, dispersion and total internal reflection in order. THIN LENS 32. R.I. µ of the material of the lens depends on the colour of the light used. The value of µ is higher for blue colour than for red colour. Now focal length f of a lens is

surface are and µ is the refractive index of the material of the lens.

∴ f Red > f Blue

Thus we find that focal length of a lens would be larger in the case of monochromatic light than that of blue light. Zoom lens is a combination of lenses with variable focal length. All convex lenses are not connverging. ing. If the refractive index of the surrounding medium be more than the refractive ive index of the material of the lens, then the lens would behave as diverging lens. The air bubble would act as a diverging lens because the refractive index of the surrounding medium (water) is greater than that of the material (air) of the lens. Inside water, the focal length of the eye lens increases, since R.I. .I. of water is larger than that of air.

  100 Consequently the power of the eye decreases  power =  .Therefore the image of the focal length   immersed body cannot be formed at retina. So the swimmer immer would see only lazy contours of the objects. But in case of masks being used, light rays enter the eye from air and that the focal length as also the power of the eye does not alter. The image will not form at infinity but will form on principal axis in middle point between the 1 1 1 optical-centre centre and focus. Because we know that − = . In this equation putting u = f we get v v u f = f/2. So the image will form at the middle point between the optical-centre optical centre and focus. Yes, when a glasss of biconvex lens is immersed in a liquid of refractive index greater than the refractive index of glass. It will behave like a divergent lens. In air, the same lens behaves as a convergent lens. Combination of two or more lenses, made of different materials materials with different dispersion power used to overcome chromatic aberration is called achromatic combination. The lens combination has the same desired focal length for two or more wavelengths. A glass slab is placed before the point of convergence and the ray will meet away from the previous convergence point which is shown in figure. O is the th point of previous convergence. O1 is the present point of convergence.

OPTICAL INSTRUMENT 41. The front surface of the cornea loses its its spherical shape and its curvature becomes unequal in different meridian planes. This defect is known as astigmatism. The focal length of the lens system of an astigmatic eye becomes different in different meridian planes. As a consequence, a line object (or lines of the same object) placed at the same distance but differently oriented cannot be seen by the eye equally distinct as their images are not clearly focused on the retina simultaneously. 42. The ability of an optical instrument to enable us to see two close objects distinctly is called the resolving power of the instrument. Two close points are said to be resolved, if they can be seen as separate. The closer these two distinguishable point objects are, the higher is the resolving power. 43. The defect ect is removed by using a cylindrical lens which has different curvatures in different meridian planes. The curvature and the axis of the lens are so chosen that together with the eye, the cylindrical lens forms an optical system whose focal length is the same in every meridian plane.

44. Generally with age a normal eye gradually loses its power of accommodation and the near point recedes away from the eye than the normal distance of distinct vision i.e. 25 cm, such an eye is called presbyopic or farsighted eye and the defect is termed by the physician as presbyopia. 45. Human eye is not equally sensitive to light of all the colours. It is much more sensitive to light of yellow and green colour. 46. The diameter of the objective of an astronomical telescope is made large to collect more light from the object and to increase the brightness of the images. 47. In terrestrial telescope final image is erect. 48. Colour blindness is a defect of vision in which a person cannot distinguish between colours. This is due to damage or insensitivity of one, two or all the three sets of nerve which are sensitive to the primary colours, namely red, green and blue. 49. In the eye, the distance between the lens and the retina is fixed. Objects at different distances from the eye are focused on to the retina by altering the focal length of the lens (this is called accommodation). While viewing distant objects, the lens acquires a longer focal length, and is, therefore, less curved and thin. For reading, the lens must have a shorter focal length. It becomes more curved and thick. This causes the eye to be strained. 50. Because it is difficult to estimate the distance of the object with one eye. With both eyes open, the distance can be correctly estimated and threading the needle becomes easier. ----------
