JEE PHYSICS MCQ: RAY OPTICS

1 Medium

1 of 1

Understanding +4 | -1

Assertion: Just before setting, the sun may appear to be elliptical. This happens due to refraction.

Reason: Refraction of light ray through the atmosphere may cause different magnification in mutually perpendicular directions.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion

The correct answer is A (If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion) because atmospheric refraction causes the sun to appear elliptical due to differential magnification.

In refraction, light waves are bent on passing from one medium to the second medium, because, in the second medium A double convex lens is made of glass which has its refractive index 1,45 for violet rays and 1.50 for red rays. If the focal length for violet ray is

, the focal length for red ray will be Which light rays undergoes two internal reflection inside a raindrop, which of the rainbow is formed?
