[figure] A spherical surface separates two media of refractive indices 1 and 1.5 as shown in figure. Distance of the image of an object 'O', is : (C is the center of curvature of the spherical surface and R is the radius of curvature)

2. 0.24 m right to the spherical surface
3. 0.4 m left to the spherical surface

Two identical objects are placed in front of convex mirror and concave mirror having same radii of curvature of 12 cm, at same distance of 18 cm from the respective mirrors. The ratio of sizes of the images formed by convex mirror and by concave mirror is :

1. 2
2. 1/2
3. 1/3

A bi-convex lens has radius of curvature of both the surfaces same as 1/6 cm. If this lens is required to be replaced by another convex lens having different radii of curvature on both sides (R1 R2), without any change in lens power then possible combination of R1 and R2 is :

1. 13 cm and 17 cm
2. 15 cm and 17 cm
3. 13 cm and 13 cm
4. 16 cm and 19 cm

A ray of light suffers minimum deviation when incident on a prism having angle of the prism equal to 60 . The refractive index of the prism material is 2. The angle of incidence (in degrees) is

Let u and v be the distances of the object and the image from a lens of focal length f. The correct graphical representation of u and v for a convex lens when |u| > f, is

Two light beams fall on a transparent material block at point 1 and 2 with angle 1 and 2, respectively, as shown in figure. After refraction, the beams intersect at point 3 which is exactly on the interface at other end of the block. Given : the distance between 1 and 2, d = 4 3 cm and 1 = 2 = -1 ( n22n1 ), where refractive index of the block n2 > refractive index of the outside medium n1, then the thickness of the block is cm. [figure]

At the interface between two materials having refractive indices n1 and n2, the critical angle for reflection of an em wave is 1C. The n2 material is replaced by another material having refractive index n3 such that the critical angle at the interface between n1 and n3 materials is 2C. If n3 > n2 > n1; n2n3 = 25 and 2C - 1C = 12, then 1C is :

1. -1 ( 16n1 )
2. -1 ( 13n1 )
3. -1 ( 56n1 )
4. -1 ( 23n1 )

A convex lens made of glass (refractive index = 1.5) has focal length 24 cm in air. When it is totally immersed in water (refractive index = 1.33), its focal length changes to

1. 96 cm
2. 72 cm
3. 24 cm
4. 48 cm

Two concave refracting surfaces of equal radii of curvature and refractive index 1.5 face each other in air as shown in figure. A point object O is placed midway, between P and B. The separation between the images of O, formed by each refracting surface is : [figure]
