3. A ray of light falls on a plane mirror. When the mirror is turned, about an axis which is at
right angle to the plane of the mirror through 20º the angle between the incident ray and
new reflected ray is 45º. The angle between the incident ray and original reflected ray
was therefore :
(A) 65º (B) 25º or 65º
(C) 25º (D) 45º

4. The figure shows the path of a ray of light as it passes through three different materials
with refractive indices n1, n2 and n3. The figure is drawn to scale. What can we conclude
concerning the indices of these three materials –

n1

n2

n3

(A) n3 > n2 > n1 (B) n3 < n1 > n2

(C) n2 < n1 < n3 (D) n1 < n3 < n2

5. A ray of light falls on a transparent as shown in the figure. If the final ray emerges from
the sphere parallel to the horizontal diameter, then calculate the refractive index of the
sphere. Consider that the sphere is kept in air –

60°

(A) 2 (B) 3

(C) 3/ 2 (D) 4/3

Multiple Choice Question
This section contains 3 multiple choice questions. Each question has 4 choices (A), (B), (C) and
(D) for its answer, out of which ONE OR MORE is/are correct
6. A plano –conves lens of focal length 20cm has its plane side silvered
(A) The radius of curvature of its curved surface of plano-conves lens is equal to half
of radius of curvature of a surface of equi-conves lens of focal length 20cm
(B) An object placed at 15cm on the axis on the convex side of silvered plano-conves
lens gives rise to an image at a distance of 30cm form it
(C) An object placed at a distance of 20cm on the axis on the convex side of silvered
plano conves lens gives rise to an image at 40cm from it
(D) Silvered plano-conves lens acts as a concave mirror of focal length 10cm

7. A light ray parallel to the principal axis is incident (as shown in the figure) on a thin
planoconvex lens with radius of curvature of its curved part equal to 10 cm. Assuming
that the refractive index of the material of the lens is 4/3 and medium on both sides of the
lens is air,

(A) Final refracted ray makes an angle 16o with principle axis
(B) Final refracted ray makes an angle 53o with principle axis
(C) Emergence angle at curved surface is 53°
(D) Emergence angle at curved surface is 60°

8. The angle of refraction of a very thin prism is 1º. A light ray is incident normally on one
of the refracting surfaces. The ray that ultimately emerges from the first surface, after
suffering reflection from the second surface, makes an angle of 3.32º with the normal.
The deviation of the ray emerging from the second surface and the refractive index of the
material of the prism respectively, are :
(A) 0.66º (B) 1.66
(C) 1.5º (D) 1.5

9. Consider the situation in figure. The bottom of the pot is a reflecting plane mirror, S is a
small fish and T is a human eye. Refractive index of water is μ.

(B) At the distance H below itself will the eye see the image of the fish
(C) At the distance H below itself will the fish see the image of the eye.
(D) At the distance H below itself will the eye see the image of the fish

10. An infinitely long rectangular strip is placed on principal axis of a concave mirror. One
corner of the strip coincides with centre of curvature and one edge coincides with
principle axis beyond centre of curvature. The height of rectangular strip is very small in
comparison to focal length of the mirror. Then the shape of image of strip formed by
concave mirror is
(A) Rectangle (B) Triangle
(C) Finite Size (D) Infinite Size

11. A plane mirror is placed between the real object and the convex mirror and adjusted till the image
formed by reflection at both the mirrors coincide without parallax. The distance between the
convex mirror and object is 0.5m, while the object is 0.3m in front of plane mirror. The radius of
curvature of the convex mirror is

(C) 0.67 m (D) 0.5 m
