A light ray hits the pole of a thin biconvex lens as shown in fig. The angle made by the emergent ray with the optic axis will be approximately

A

`0^(@)`

B

`(1//3)^(@)`

C

`(2//3)^(@)`

D

`2^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

From Snell's law `therefore mu"sin" 2^(@) = 2mu "sin"r`
`because theta= 2^(@)` (small angle)

`"sin"2^(@) = 2^(@), mu xx 2^(@) = 2 mu r^(@)`
`r=1^(@)` & `2 mu xx 1^(@) = 3mur',r' = ((2)/(3))^(@)`

A glass wedge with a small angle of refraction theta is placed at a certain distance from a converging lens with a focal length f ,one surface of the wedge being perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens. A point sources S of light is on the other side of the lens at its focus. The rays reflected from the wedge (not from base) produce, after refraction in the lens , two images of the source displaced with respect to each other by d. Find the refractive index of the wedge glass. [Consider only paraxial rays.]
