Assertion : If a convex lens of glass is immersed in water its power decreases. Reason : In water it behaves as a convex lens.

When a ray of sun light passes through the prism, each colour of light has its own speed in the glass. The seven colours come out of the prism with different angles of deviation. Red deviates least and blue deviates maximum. Thus a prism can disperse a white light into seven colours which is called colour spectrum. For a thin prism, the angle of deviation is given as delta=(n-1)A . The angle of dispersion is given as phi=delta_(v)-delta_(r) . The dispersive power of a prism is omega=(phi)/(delta_("mean"))=(phi)/(delta_(y)) Using the above ideas, give answer the following questions. A prism has R.I. for violet and red n_(v)=1.523, n_(r)=1.5145 . If the angle of prism is A=2^(@) the dispersive power of the prism is :

If a spherical mirror is dipped in water, does its focal length change ? 17. If a thin lens is dipped in water, does its focal length change ?

A prism of glass (mu=1.5) is dipped in to water as shown in the figure. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, then the incident ray will be totally reflected if

A crown glass prism of refracting angle 8^(@) is combined with a flint glass prism to obtain deviation without dispersion. If the refractive indicates for red and violet rays for the crown glass are 1.514 and 1.524 and for the flint glass are 1.645 and 1.665 respectivey, find the angle of flint glass prism and net deviation.

All the listed things below are made of flint glass. Which one of these have greatest dispersive power ( omega ).

We have to combine a crown glass prism of angle 4^(@) with a flint glass prism in such a way that the mean ray passes undeviated, find (i) the angle of the flint glass prism needed and (i) the angular dispersion produced by the combination when white light goes through it. Refractive indices for red, yellow and violet light are 1.514, 1.517 and 1.523 respectively for crown glass and 1.613, 1.620 and 1.632 for flint glass.

A crown glass prism of angle 5^@ is to be combined with a flint glass prism in such a way that the mean ray passes undeviated. Find (a) the angle of the flint glass prism needed and (b) the angular dispersion produced by the combination when white light goes through it. Refractive indices for red, yellow and viloet light are 1.514, 1.517 and 1.523 respectively for crown glass and 1.613 1.620 and 1.632 for flint glass.

A prism of a certain angle deviates the red and blue rays by 8^@ and 12^@ respectively. Another prism of the same angle deviates the red and blue rays by 10^@ and 14^@ respectively. The prisms are small angled and made of different materials. The dispersive powers of the materials of the prisms are in the ratio
