A monochromatic light wave with wavelength λ1\lambda_{1} and frequency v1v_{1} in air enters another medium. If the angle of incidence and angle of refraction at the interface are 45∘45^{\circ} and 30∘30^{\circ} respectively, then the wavelength λ2\lambda_{2} and frequency v2v_{2} of the refracted wave are:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
λ2=12λ1, v2=v1\lambda_{2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \lambda_{1}, \, v_{2}=v_{1}
Option D (λ2=12λ1, v2=v1\lambda_{2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \lambda_{1}, \, v_{2}=v_{1}) is correct because the frequency of light remains the same when it enters another medium, while the wavelength changes according to the refractive index.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
11  cm\mathrm{11}\,\,\mathrm{cm}

A ray is incident at an angle of incidence i on one surface of a small angle prism (with angle of prism A\mathrm{A}) and emerges normally from the opposite surface. If the refractive index of the material of the prism is μ\mathrm{\mu }, then the angle
of incidence is nearly equal to:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
μ A\mathrm{\mu }\,\mathrm{A}
Option C (μ A\mathrm{\mu }\,\mathrm{A}) is correct because, for a small angle prism with normal emergence, the angle of incidence is approximately equal to the product of the refractive index and the prism angle.

Understanding +4 | -1
The ratio of the refractive index of red light to blue light in air is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Increase and change sign
Option B (Increase and change sign) is correct because when the lens is immersed in a medium with the same refractive index, its focal length becomes infinite and then changes sign as the refractive index of the liquid is slightly different.

What will be the colour of sky as seen from the earth, if there were no atmosphere
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A

Statement-A: Minimum deviation for a given prism does not depend on the refractive index μ\mu of the prism.

Statement-B: Deviation by a prism is given by δ=(i1+i2−A)\delta=\left(i_1+i_2-A\right) and does not have the term μ\mu.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
A and B are correct
Option A is correct because minimum deviation does depend on the refractive index, and the given deviation formula doesn't include the refractive index directly.
