RAY OPTICS

General instructions:
(i) There are 9 questions in all. All questions are compulsory.
(ii) This question paper has two sections: section A and section B.
(iii) Section A carries 2 mark each, Section B carries 3 mark each.
SECTION-A (2x2=4)
1. A converging lens of refractive index 1.5 is kept in a liquid medium having
same refractive index. What would be the focal length of the lens in this medium?

2.a) How does the power of a convex lens vary, if the incident red light is replaced
by violet light?
(b) Two thin lenses of power + 6D and – 2D are in contact. What is the focal
length of the combination?
SECTION-B (3x7=21)

3. For the same value of angle of incidence, the angles of refraction in three media
A, B and C are 15°, 25° and 35° respectively. In which medium would the velocity
of light be minimum?

4.(a) Derive the lens maker’s formula for a double convex lens.
(b) If the wavelength of light incident on a convex lens is increased, how will its
focal length change?

5. Draw a ray diagram of a reflecting type telescope. State two advantages of this
telescope over a refracting telescope.

6.Which two of the following lens L1 L2 and L3 will you select as objective and
eyepiece for constructing the best possible (a) telescope and (b) microscope. Give
reason to support your answer.

Lens Power Aperture


L1 6D 1 cm
L2 3D 8 cm
L3 10 D 1 cm
7. A ray of light passes through an equilateral prism in such a way that the angle of
incidence is equal to the angle of emergence and each of these angles is 3/4 times
the angle of the prism. Determine
(i) the angle of deviation and
(ii) the refractive index of the prism.

8.(a) An object is held at the principal focus of a concave lens of focal length F.
Where is the image formed?
(b) The refractive index of the material of a concave lens is n1. It is immersed in a
medium of refractive index n2. A parallel beam of tight is incident on the lens.
Trace the path of the emergent rays when n2 > n1.
(c) What is the minimum value of the refractive index of the prism shown in the
figure below?

9.(a) The image of a candle is formed by a convex lens on a screen. The lower half
of the lens is painted black to make it completely opaque. Draw the ray diagram to
show the image formation. How will this image be different from the one obtained
when the lens is not painted black?

(b) A biconvex lens of refractive index μ1 focal length ‘f and radius of curvature R
is immersed in a liquid of refractive index μ2. For (i) μ2 > μ1, and (ii) μ2 < μ1, draw
the ray diagrams in the two cases when a beam of light coming parallel to the
principal axis is incident on the lens. Also, find the focal length of the lens in terms
of the original focal length and the refractive index of the glass of the lens and that
of the medium.
