A prism of refractive index `mu_g` deviates the incident ray towards its base. If it is immersed in a transparent liquid of refractive index `mu_1` such that `mu_1 gt mu_g` then prism would

A

deviate the ray towards its base

B

deviate the ray away from its base

C

bot deviate the ray at all

D

nothing can be said

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In that case `n_(rel)` is less than 1 so deviation in upward direction

An equiconvex lens of refractive index mu_(1) , focal length 'f' and radius of curvature 'R' is immersed in a liquid of refractive index mu_(2) . For (i) mu_(2)gtmu_(1) , and (ii) mu_(2)ltmu_(1) , draw the ray diagrams in the two cases when a beam of light coming parallel to the principal axis is incident on the lens. Also find the focal length of the lens in terms of the original focal length and the refractive index of the glass of the lens and that of the medium.

A ray of light, travelling in a medium of refractive index mu, is incident at an angle i on a composite transparent plate consisting of three plates of refractive indices mu_1,mu_2 and mu_3. The ray emerges from the composite plate into a medium of refractive index mu_4, at angle x. Then,

A lens of refractive index mu becomes a lens of focal length f' when immersed in a liquid of refractive index mu '. If the focal length of the lens in air is f, prove that f' = f.(mu'(mu-1))/((mu-mu')) .

Focal length of a lens in air is f. Refractive index of the lens is mu . Focal length changes to f_(1) if lens is immersed in a liquid of refractive index (mu)/(2) and it becomes f_(2) if the lens is immersed in a liquid of refractive index 2 mu . Then

If a convex lens of refractive index mu _l is placed in a medium of refractive index mu_m Such that mu_l > mu_m > mu_(air) then

If a small angled prism, made of glass is immersed in a liquid of refractive index 1 and a ray of light is made incident on it, then
