1. A ray PQ incident on the refracting face BA is refracted in the prism BAC as
shown in the figure and emerges from the other refracting face AC as RS such
that AQ = AR. If the angle of prism A = 60 and refractive index of material of
prism is sqrt(3) . Calculate angle . [3]

2. A screen is placed at a distance of 100 cm from an object. The image of the


object is formed on the screen by a convex lens for two different locations of the
lens separated by 20 cm. Calculate the focal length of the lens used.
[3]
3. A converging lens is kept coaxially in contact with a diverging lens both the
lenses being of equal focal length. What is the focal length of the combination?
[2]
4. Derive an expression for path difference in Youngs double slit experiment and
obtain the conditions for constructive and destructive interference at a point on
the screen. [4]
5. The intensity at the central maxima in Youngs double slit experiment is I0. Find
out the intensity at a point where the path difference is /6 and /3.
[3]
6. The focal length of an equiconvex lens is equal to the radius of curvature of
either face. What is the refractive index of the material of the lens?
[2]
7. A biconcave lens made of a transparent material of refractive index 1.25 is
immersed in water of refractive index 1.33. Will the lens behave as a converging
or a diverging lens? Give reason. [2]

8. Explain the basic differences between the construction and working of a


telescope and a microscope. Draw ray diagram for Compound Microscope
[3]
9. What does a Polaroid consist of? Show, using a simple Polaroid that light waves
are transverse in nature. Intensity of light coming out of a Polaroid does not
change irrespective of the orientation of the pass axis of the Polaroid. Explain
why? [3]
10.An object is placed 15 cm in front of a convex lens of focal length 10 cm. Find the
nature and position of the image formed. Where a concave mirror of radius of
curvature 20 cm should be placed so that the final image is formed at the
position of the object itself? [3]
11.Two monochromatic rays of light are incident normally on the face AB of an
isosceles right-angled prism ABC. The refractive indices of the glass prism for the
two rays '1' and '2' are respectively 1.38 and 1.52. Trace the path of these rays
after entering through the prism.

12.(a) State Huygenss principle. Using this principle draw a diagram to show how a
plane wave front incident at the interface of the two media gets refracted when
it propagates from a rarer to a denser medium. Hence verify Snells law of
refraction.
(b) When monochromatic light travels from a rarer to a denser medium, explain
the following, giving reasons:
(i) Is the frequency of reflected and refracted light same as the frequency of
incident light?
(ii) Does the decrease in speed imply a reduction in the energy carried by
light wave?
(c) Draw the sketches to differentiate between plane wave front and spherical
wave front. [5]

13.(a) Draw a ray diagram showing the image formation by a compound


microscope. Hence obtain expression for total magnification when the image is
formed at infinity.
(b) Distinguish between myopia and hypermetropia. Show diagrammatically how
these defects can be corrected.
