The back wall of an aqaurium is a mirror that is 30 cm away from the fron wall. The sides to the tank are negligibly thin. A fish is swimming midway between the front and back walls. a. An image of the fish appears behind the mirror. How far dows this image appear to be from the front wall of the aquarium? b. Would the refractive index of the liquid have to be larger or smaller in order for the image of the fish to appear in front of the mirror, rather than behind it? Find the limiting value of this refractive index. Initially, water is there in aquarium having refractive index 4//3

(a) Deduce the expression, by drawing a suitable ray diagram, for the refractive index of a triangular glass prisms in terms of the angle of minimum deviation (D) and the angle of prism (A). Draw a plot showing the variation of the angle of deviation with the angle of incidence. (b) Calculate the value of the angle of incidence when a ray of light incident on one face of an equilateral glass prism produces the emergent ray, which just grazes along the adjacent face. Refractive index of prism is sqrt2

Pulfrich refractometer is used to measure the refractive index of solids and liquid. It consist of right angled prism. A having its two faces perfectly plane. One of the face is horizontal and the other is vertical as shown is figure. The solid B whose refractive index is to be determined is taken having two faces cut perpendicular to one another. Light is incident in a direction parallel to the horizontal surface so that the light entering the prism A is at critical angle C. Finally, it emerges from the prism at an angle i. Let the refractive index of the solid be mu and that of the prism A be mu_(0) (which is known). Here mu_(0)gtmu and by measuring i, mu can be determinged. Q. Refractive index of the solid (mu) in terms of mu_(0) and i is

A converging lens of refractive index 1.5 is kept in a liquid medium having the same refractive index. What would be the focal length of the lens in the medium ?

A light of wavelength 6000 Å shines on two narrow slits separeted by a distance 1.0 mm and illuminates a screen at a distance 1.5 m away. When one slit is covered by a thin glass plate of refractive index 1.8 and other slit by a thin glass plate of refractive index mu , the central maxima shifts by 0.1 rad. Both plates have the same thickness of 0.5 mm. The value of refractive index mu of the glass is

Light guidance in an optical fibre can be understood by considering a structure comprising of thin solid glass cylinder of refractive index n_1 surrounded by a medium of lower refractive index n_2 . The light guidance in the structure takes place due to successive total internal reflectrions at the interface of the media n_1 and n_2 as shown in the fugure. All rays with the angle of incidence i less than a particular value i_m are confined in the medium of refractive index n_1 . The numerical aprture (NA) of the structure is defined as sini_m For two structure namely S_1 with n_1=(sqrt45)/(4) and n_2=(3)/(2) , and S_2 with n_1=(8)/(5) and n_2=(7)/(5) and taking the refractive index of water to be (4)/(3) and that of air to be 1, the correct option (s) is (are) ?
