Question

A ray of light is incident on a surface separating air from a denser medium A of refractive index μ₁. It is then made incident on the parallel surface of another medium B of refractive index μ₂ at the same angle of incidence. If the angle of refraction in the two media are 30° and 35° respectively, then in which one of the two media (A or B) will light travel faster and why ?

What are the two main considerations for designing the objective and eyepiece lenses of an astronomical telescope ? Obtain the expression for magnifying power of the telescope when the final image is formed at infinity.

A ray of light is incident at an angle of 45° at one face of an equilateral triangular prism and passes symmetrically through the prism. Calculate : (1) the angle of deviation produced by the prism (2) the refractive index of the material of the prism
