PHYSICS Ray Optics and Optical Instruments-WS GRADE 12

01. State the condition under which a large magnification can be achieved in an astronomical telescope.

02. (a) A ray of light is incident normally on the face AB of a right-angled glass prism
of refractive index a𝝁𝒈 = 1. 5. The prism is partly immersed in a liquid of unknown
refractive index. Find the value of refractive index of the liquid so that the ray
grazes along the face BC after refraction through the prism.

(b) Trace the path of the rays if it were incident normally on the face AC.

03. a) Name the phenomenon on which the working of an optical fiber is based?

b) What are the necessary conditions for this phenomenon to occur?

c) Draw a labelled diagram of an optical fiber and show how light propagates through the optical fiber
using this phenomenon.

04. How is the working of a telescope different from that of a microscope?

05. A symmetric biconvex lens of radius of curvature R and made of glass of refractive
index 1.5, is placed on a layer of liquid placed on top of a plane mirror as shown in
the figure. An optical needle with its tip on the principal axis of the lens is moved along
the axis until its real, inverted image coincides with the needle itself. The distance of
the needle from the lens is measured to be x. On removing the liquid layer and
repeating the experiment, the distance is found to be y. Obtain the expression for the
refractive index of the liquid in terms of x and y.

06. A convex lens of focal length 20 cm and a concave lens of focal length 15 cm are kept 30 cm apart with
their principal axes coincident. When an object is placed 30 cm in front of the convex lens, calculate the
position of the final image formed by the combination. Would this result change if the object were placed
30 cm in front of the concave lens? Give reason.

07. An object is placed 40 from a convex lens of focal length 30 cm. If a concave lens of focal length 50 cm is
introduced between the convex lens and the image formed such that it is 20 cm from the convex lens, find
the change in the position of the image.

08. A biconvex lens with its two faces of equal radius of curvature R is made of a transparent medium of
refractive index 𝝁𝟏 . It is kept in contact with a medium of refractive index 𝝁𝟐 as shown in the
figure.

a) Find the equivalent focal length of the combination

b) Obtain the condition when this combination acts as a diverging lens.

c) Draw the ray diagram for the case 𝝁𝟏 > ( 𝝁𝟐 + 1 ), when the object is kept far away from
the lens. Point out the nature of the image formed by the system.

09. Three rays (1,2,3) of different colors fall normally on one of the sides of an
isosceles right angled prism as shown. The refractive index of prism for these rays
is 1.39, 1.47 and 1.52 respectively. Find which of these rays get internally
reflected and which get only refracted from AC. Trace the paths of rays. Justify
your answer with the help of necessary calculations.

10. A ray of light incident on one of the faces of a glass prism of angle ‘A’ has angle of
incidence 2A. The refracted ray in the prism strikes the opposite face which is
silvered, the reflected ray from it retracing its path. Trace the ray diagram and
find the relation between the refractive index of the material of the prism and the
angle of the prism.

11. A ray PQ incident normally on the refracting face BA is refracted in the prism BAC
made of material of refractive index 1.5. Complete the path of ray through the prism.
From which face will the ray emerge? Justify your answer.

12. Trace the path of a ray of light passing through a glass prism (ABC) as shown in the
figure. If the refractive index of glass is √𝟑, find out the value of the angle of
emergence from the prism.

13. (i) A ray of light incident on face AB of an equilateral glass prism, shows minimum deviation of 𝟑𝟎° .
Calculate the speed of light through the prism.

(ii) Find the angle of incidence at face AB so that the emergent ray grazes along
the face AC.

14. (i) For a glass prism ( 𝝁 = √𝟑 ) the angle of minimum deviation is equal to the angle of the prism. Find the
angle of the prism.

(ii) Draw ray diagram when incident ray falls normally on one of the two equal sides of a right angled
isosceles prism having refractive index 𝝁 = √𝟑 .

15. A triangular prism of refracting angle 𝟔𝟎° is made up of transparent material of


refractive index 2/ √𝟑 . A ray of light is incident normally on the face KL as shown
in the figure. Trace the path of the ray as it passes through the prism and calculate
the angle of emergence and angle of deviation.

17. a) Explain briefly how the focal length of a convex lens changes with increase in wavelength of incident
light

b) What happens to the focal length pf convex lens when it is immersed in water? Refractive index of the
material of lens is greater than that of water.
