PP is a point on the axis of a convex mirror. The image of PP formed by the mirror, coincides with PP. A rectangular glass slab of thickness tt and refractive index μ\mathrm{\mu } is now introduced between PP and the mirror. For the image of P to coincide with PP again, the mirror must be moves
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Towards PP by t  (1−  1μ)t\,\,\left( {1 - \,\,\frac{1}{\mathrm{\mu }}} \right)
The correct answer is C (Towards PP by t (1− 1μ)t\,\left( {1 - \,\frac{1}{\mathrm{\mu }}} \right)) because the mirror needs to compensate for the apparent shift in position due to the glass slab.

The deviation produced by a prism is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
greatest for violet and least for red
Option C (greatest for violet and least for red) is correct because the refractive index is higher for violet light than for red light, leading to greater deviation.
274 Medium

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Black

White light is incident on one of the refracting surfaces of a prism of angle 5∘5^\circ. If the refractive indices for red and blue colours are 1.641\mathrm{1}\mathrm{.641} and 1.659\mathrm{1}\mathrm{.659} respectively, the angular separation between these two colours when they emerge out of the prism is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
0.09∘0.09^\circ
Option B (0.09∘0.09^\circ) is correct because the angular separation is the product of the prism's angle and the difference in refractive indices.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
(b)and(c)\left( \mathrm{b} \right)\mathrm{ and }\left( \mathrm{c} \right) both

Three prisms 1,2 and 3\mathrm{1, 2 }\,\mathrm{and\,3} have the prism angle A=600A = {60^0}, but their refractive indices are respectively 1. 4,1. 5 and 1. 6\mathrm{1}\mathrm{.}\,\mathrm{4, 1}\mathrm{.}\,\mathrm{5 }\,\mathrm{and}\,\mathrm{ 1}\mathrm{.}\,\mathrm{6}. If δ1,  δ2,  δ3{\delta _1},\,\,{\delta _2},\,\,{\delta _3} be their respective angles of deviation then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
δ3>δ2>δ1{\delta _3} > {\delta _2} > {\delta _1}
Option B (5) is correct because the number of images formed by two plane mirrors inclined at an angle θ is given by the formula n = 360/θ - 1 if 360/θ is an even integer, and n = 360/θ if 360/θ is an odd integer.

When a plane mirror is rotated through an angle θ\theta then the reflected ray turns through the angle 2 θ2\,\theta then the size of the image
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Remains the same
Option C (Remains the same) is correct because the size of the image in a plane mirror only depends on the size of the object, not the angle of rotation.

If a thin prism of glass is dipped into water then minimum deviation (with respect to air) of light produced by prism will be left (aμg=32  and  aμw=43)\left( {_a{\mu _g} = \frac{3}{2}\,\,\mathrm{and}\,{\,_a}{\mu _w} = \frac{4}{3}} \right)
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
1 / 4\mathrm{1}\,\mathrm{/}\,\mathrm{4}
Option B (1 / 4\mathrm{1}\,\mathrm{/}\,\mathrm{4}) is correct because the minimum deviation changes when the prism is dipped in water, and the ratio of deviations is calculated using the refractive indices.

A short pulse of white light is incident from air to a glass
slab at normal incidence. After travelling through the slab,
the first colour to emerge is
View answer and explanation

Reason: A reflecting type of telescope is free from chromatic aberration and spherical aberration.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion
Option A is correct because reflecting telescopes are preferred due to being free from chromatic and spherical aberrations, which are present in refracting telescopes.

A convex lens 'A' of focal length 30 cm and a
concave lens 'B' of focal length 10 cm are kept
along the same axis with a distance 'd' between
them. If a parallel beam of light falling on 'A' leaves
'B' as a parallel beam, then the distance 'd' in cm
will be:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
20
Option D (20) is correct because for the beam to remain parallel after passing through both lenses, the focal point of the convex lens must coincide with the focal point of the concave lens.

Assertion: If the rays are diverging after emerging from a lens; the lens must be concave.
Reason: The convex lens can give diverging rays.
In above question a statement of assertion is followed by statement of reason mark the correct choice.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Both assertion and reason are false
Option D is correct because a convex lens can produce diverging rays under certain conditions, and a lens that produces diverging rays is not necessarily concave.

Assertion: The cloud in sky generally appear to be whitish.

Reason: Diffraction due to cloud is efficient in equal measure at all wavelengths.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If assertion is true but reason is false.
Option C is correct because the assertion is true, but the reason is false. Clouds appear whitish due to scattering, but diffraction is not equally efficient at all wavelengths.

Statement-A: The blue colour of sky is on account of scattering of sun light.

Statement-B: The intensity of scattered light varies inversely as the fourth power of wavelength of the light.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
A and B are correct
Option A is correct. The blue color of the sky is due to the scattering of sunlight, and the intensity of scattered light is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength (Rayleigh scattering).

Understanding +4 | -1
Which of the following statements is correct?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
In a spherical mirror, object and its image are always on the same side of focus
Option D (None of the above) is the correct answer because options A, B, and C are not universally true for all cases of mirrors.

Assertion: A ray of light incident along the normal to the plane mirror retraces its path after reflection from the mirror.
Reason: A ray of light along the normal has angle of incidence as π/2\pi / 2 and hence, it retraces its own path after reflection from mirror.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Assertion is true but Reason is false
Option C (Assertion is true but Reason is false) is correct because the angle of incidence for a ray along the normal is 0, not π/2\pi/2.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Both (a)and(b)\left( \mathrm{a} \right)\mathrm{ and }\left( \mathrm{b} \right)

View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both statement-I and statement-II are true
Option A (Both statement-I and statement-II are true) is correct because convex mirrors provide a wider field of view compared to plane or concave mirrors, making them suitable for rear-view mirrors.
