In the figure shown a converging lens and a diverging lens of focal lengths 20cm and -5cm respectively are separated by a distance such that a paralle beam of light of intensity 100 watt//m^(2) incident on the converging lens comes out as parallel beam from the diverging lens. Find the intensity of the outgoing beam in watt//m^(2)

A ray of light is incident on a concave mirror . It is parallel to the principal axis and its height from principal axis is equal to the focal length of the mirror. The ratio of the distance of point B to the distance of the focus from the centre of curvature is (AB is the reflected ray)

A prism is made of glass of unknown refractive index. A parallel beam of light is incident on a face of the prism. The angle of minimum deviation is measured to be 40^(@) . What is the refractive index of the material of the prism? The refracting angle of the prism is 60^(@) . If the prism is placed in water (refractive index 1.33), predict the new angle of minimum deviation of a parallel beam of light

A point source of light is kept at a distance of 15cm from a converging lens,on its optical axis.The focal length of the lens is 10cm and its diameter is 3cm ,A screen is placed on the other side of the lens ,perpendicular to the axis of lens,at a distance 20cm from it.Then find the area of the illuminated part of the screen?

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.]
