When a beam of white light is allowed to pass through convex lens parallel to principal axis, the different colours of light converge at different point on the principle axis after refraction. This is called :
Explanation:
$n = \frac{\sin \frac{A + \delta_m}{2}}{\sin \frac{A}{2}}$
In this case, the refractive index $n = \sqrt{2}$, and since the prism is equilateral, the prism angle $A = 60^\circ$. Now, we can substitute these values into the formula and solve for the angle of minimum deviation $\delta_m$:
$\sqrt{2} = \frac{\sin \frac{60^\circ + \delta_m}{2}}{\sin \frac{60^\circ}{2}}$
First, let's find the sine of half the prism angle:
$\sin \frac{60^\circ}{2} = \sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2}$
Now, we can substitute this value into the formula:
$\sqrt{2} = \frac{\sin \frac{60^\circ + \delta_m}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}$
To isolate the sine term, we multiply both sides by $\frac{1}{2}$:
$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = \sin \frac{60^\circ + \delta_m}{2}$
Now, we can find the angle inside the sine function:
$\frac{60^\circ + \delta_m}{2} = \sin^{-1} \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = 45^\circ$
Finally, we can solve for the angle of minimum deviation $\delta_m$:
$60^\circ + \delta_m = 2 \cdot 45^\circ$
$\delta_m = 90^\circ - 60^\circ = 30^\circ$
The angle of minimum deviation for the liquid in the equilateral hollow prism is $30^\circ$.
A bi convex lens of focal length $10 \mathrm{~cm}$ is cut in two identical parts along a plane perpendicular to the principal axis. The power of each lens after cut is ____________ D.
Explanation:
$\frac{1}{f} = (n - 1) \left(\frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2}\right)$
For the original biconvex lens, both radii of curvature have the same magnitude but opposite signs, so let's denote them as ±R. The focal length of the original lens is given as 10 cm, and the refractive index (n) is constant for both the original lens and the new plano-convex lenses.
For the original lens, the lensmaker's formula becomes:
$\frac{1}{f} = (n - 1) \left(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{-R}\right)$
Since the focal length is given as 10 cm, we can plug in the value:
$\frac{1}{10} = (n - 1) \left(\frac{1}{R} + \frac{1}{R}\right)$
$\frac{1}{10} = (n - 1) \left(\frac{2}{R}\right)$
For each plano-convex lens, one radius of curvature (R1) is infinite (the flat side), and the other radius (R2) is the same as the original lens (R). The lensmaker's formula for the plano-convex lens becomes:
$\frac{1}{f'} = (n - 1) \left(\frac{1}{\infty} - \frac{1}{R}\right)$
$\frac{1}{f'} = (n - 1) \left(-\frac{1}{R}\right)$
Now, we can substitute the expression for (n-1)(2/R) from the original lens equation:
$\frac{1}{f'} = \frac{1}{10} \cdot \frac{1}{2}$ $\frac{1}{f'} = \frac{1}{20}$
So, the focal length of each plano-convex lens (f') is 20 cm. To find the power of each lens, we can use the formula:
$P (\text{in diopters}) = \frac{1}{f (\text{in meters})}$
Converting the focal length to meters and calculating the power:
$P = \frac{1}{0.2}$
$P = 5 \text{ D}$
So, the power of each plano-convex lens after the cut is 5 diopters (D).
A fish rising vertically upward with a uniform velocity of $8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$, observes that a bird is diving vertically downward towards the fish with the velocity of $12 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$. If the refractive index of water is $\frac{4}{3}$, then the actual velocity of the diving bird to pick the fish, will be __________ $\mathrm{ms}^{-1}$.
Explanation:
The fish sees the bird diving with a velocity of $12 \ \text{m/s}$. We can write the equation considering the velocities relative to the fish:
$\frac{V_{\text{b/f}}}{\frac{4}{3}} = \frac{-8}{\frac{4}{3}} + \frac{-v}{1}$
Here, $V_{\text{b/f}}$ is the bird's diving velocity relative to the fish, and $v$ is the actual velocity of the bird.
Now, let's solve for $v$:
$\frac{-12}{\frac{4}{3}} = \frac{-8}{\frac{4}{3}} - v$
$v = 3 \ \text{m/s}$
So, the actual velocity of the diving bird to pick the fish relative to the fish is $3 \ \text{m/s}$.
Two convex lenses of focal length $20 \mathrm{~cm}$ each are placed coaxially with a separation of $60 \mathrm{~cm}$ between them. The image of the distant object formed by the combination is at _____________ $\mathrm{cm}$ from the first lens.
Explanation:
1. First refraction in L1 (lens 1):
When considering the first lens (L1), the object is at infinity, so the image I1 formed by this lens is at its focal point. Using the lensmaker's equation:
$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{d_o} + \frac{1}{d_i}$
Given that the object is at infinity, $d_o = \infty$, and the focal length of the first lens is $f = 20 \mathrm{~cm}$. Plugging in these values, we get:
$\frac{1}{20} = \frac{1}{\infty} + \frac{1}{d_i}$
As $\frac{1}{\infty}$ is essentially 0, we have:
$\frac{1}{20} = \frac{1}{d_i}$
This implies that $d_i = 20 \mathrm{~cm}$, meaning that the image I1 is formed 20 cm from the first lens L1.
2. Second refraction in L2 (lens 2):
Now, the image I1 formed by L1 becomes the object for L2. The distance between the lenses is 60 cm, so the object distance for L2 (u) is -40 cm, because the object is to the left of the lens (u is negative). The focal length of L2 (f) is 20 cm. We can use the lensmaker's equation to find the image distance (v) for L2:
$\frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f}$
Plugging in the values:
$\frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{(-40)} = \frac{1}{20}$
$\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{20} - \frac{1}{40} = \frac{2 - 1}{40}$
$\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{40}$
Therefore, $v = 40 \mathrm{~cm}$
Since the image distance (v) is positive, the image I2 is formed on the right side of L2 at a distance of 40 cm. To find the distance of the final image from L1, we add the distance between the lenses (60 cm) and the image distance (v) from L2.
Final image distance from L1 = 60 cm + 40 cm = 100 cm
Thus, the correct answer is 100 cm.
As shown in the figure, a plane mirror is fixed at a height of $50 \mathrm{~cm}$ from the bottom of tank containing water $\left(\mu=\frac{4}{3}\right)$. The height of water in the tank is $8 \mathrm{~cm}$. A small bulb is placed at the bottom of the water tank. The distance of image of the bulb formed by mirror from the bottom of the tank is ___________ $\mathrm{cm}$.
Explanation:
$ \text { Apparent depth of } \mathrm{O}=\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mu} $$ =\frac{8}{\frac{4}{3}}=6 \mathrm{~cm} $
Distance of object from mirror = 42 + 6 = 48 m
$ \text { Distance between } \mathrm{O} \text { and } \mathrm{I}_2=48+50=98 \mathrm{~cm} $
The radius of curvature of each surface of a convex lens having refractive index 1.8 is $20 \mathrm{~cm}$. The lens is now immersed in a liquid of refractive index 1.5 . The ratio of power of lens in air to its power in the liquid will be $x: 1$. The value of $x$ is _________.
Explanation:
Let's find the focal length of the lens in air and in the liquid. We will use the lens maker's formula:
$\frac{1}{f} = (\mu - 1)\left(\frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2}\right)$
where $f$ is the focal length, $\mu$ is the refractive index of the lens material, and $R_1$ and $R_2$ are the radii of curvature of the lens surfaces.
Since the lens is convex, both surfaces have the same radius of curvature (positive), so $R_1 = R_2 = 20 \mathrm{~cm}$.
First, let's find the focal length of the lens in air:
$\frac{1}{f_\text{air}} = (1.8 - 1)\left(\frac{1}{20} - \frac{1}{20}\right) = 0.8\left(\frac{1}{20}\right)$
$f_\text{air} = \frac{1}{0.8\left(\frac{1}{20}\right)} = 25 \mathrm{~cm}$
Now, let's find the focal length of the lens in the liquid. The relative refractive index of the lens with respect to the liquid is:
$\mu_\text{rel} = \frac{1.8}{1.5} = 1.2$
$\frac{1}{f_\text{liquid}} = (1.2 - 1)\left(\frac{1}{20}\right)$
$f_\text{liquid} = \frac{1}{0.2\left(\frac{1}{20}\right)} = 100 \mathrm{~cm}$
The power of a lens is given by:
$P = \frac{1}{f}$
Now, we can find the ratio of the power of the lens in air to its power in the liquid:
$\frac{P\text{air}}{P\text{liquid}} = \frac{f\text{liquid}}{f\text{air}} = \frac{100}{25} = 4$
So, the ratio of the power of the lens in air to its power in the liquid is $x:1$, where $x = 4$.
A point object, 'O' is placed in front of two thin symmetrical coaxial convex lenses $\mathrm{L}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{L}_{2}$ with focal length $24 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $9 \mathrm{~cm}$ respectively. The distance between two lenses is $10 \mathrm{~cm}$ and the object is placed $6 \mathrm{~cm}$ away from lens $\mathrm{L}_{1}$ as shown in the figure. The distance between the object and the image formed by the system of two lenses is __________ $\mathrm{cm}$.
Explanation:
$\frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{24}$
$ \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{\mathrm{v}} & =\frac{1}{24}-\frac{1}{6}=-\frac{1}{8} \\\\ \mathrm{v} & =-8 \mathrm{~cm} \end{aligned} $
From IInd lens :
$\frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}+\frac{1}{18}=\frac{1}{9}$
$ \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{\mathrm{v}} & =\frac{1}{18} \\\\ \mathrm{v} & =18 \end{aligned} $
So distance between object and its image
= 6 + 10 + 18 = 34 cm
Two transparent media having refractive indices 1.0 and 1.5 are separated by a spherical refracting surface of radius of curvature $30 \mathrm{~cm}$. The centre of curvature of surface is towards denser medium and a point object is placed on the principle axis in rarer medium at a distance of $15 \mathrm{~cm}$ from the pole of the surface. The distance of image from the pole of the surface is ____________ $\mathrm{cm}$.
Explanation:
The refraction at a spherical surface is governed by the formula:
$\frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u} = \frac{n_2 - n_1}{R} n_2$
where:
- (v) is the image distance,
- (u) is the object distance,
- ($n_1$) is the refractive index of the medium where the object is,
- ($n_2$) is the refractive index of the medium where the image is formed,
- (R) is the radius of curvature of the refracting surface.
Here, we have:
- (u = -15) cm (the object is on the same side as the light is coming from, so the distance is taken as negative),
- ($n_1$ = 1.0) (refractive index of the rarer medium),
- ($n_2$ = 1.5) (refractive index of the denser medium),
- (R = -30) cm (the center of curvature is in the denser medium, so the radius is taken as negative).
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
$\frac{1}{v} - \left(-\frac{1}{15}\right) = \frac{1.5 - 1.0}{-30} \cdot 1.5$
Solving for (v), we get:
$v = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{15} + \frac{1.5}{30}} = -30 \, \text{cm}$
Therefore, the image is formed at a distance of 30 cm from the pole of the surface, on the same side as the object. The negative sign indicates that the image is virtual and is formed on the same side of the surface as the light is coming from.
Two vertical parallel mirrors A and B are separated by $10 \mathrm{~cm}$. A point object $\mathrm{O}$ is placed at a distance of $2 \mathrm{~cm}$ from mirror $\mathrm{A}$. The distance of the second nearest image behind mirror A from the mirror $\mathrm{A}$ is _________ $\mathrm{cm}$.
Explanation:
Object distance $=8 \mathrm{~cm}$ [For image by $B]$
$ \begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \text { Required distance } & =8+8+2 \mathrm{~cm} \\\\ & =18 \mathrm{~cm} \end{aligned} $
A pole is vertically submerged in swimming pool, such that it gives a length of shadow $2.15 \mathrm{~m}$ within water when sunlight is incident at angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the surface of water. If swimming pool is filled to a height of $1.5 \mathrm{~m}$, then the height of the pole above the water surface in centimeters is $\left(n_{w}=4 / 3\right)$ ____________.
Explanation:
The pole is vertically submerged in the swimming pool, and the length of the shadow is due to the sunlight that is incident at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the surface of water. Hence, the angle of incidence, $i$, is $60^{\circ}$ (since the angle of incidence is measured from the normal to the surface, and the normal is perpendicular to the surface).
Using Snell's law, we find the angle of refraction, $r$, as you correctly did:
$\sin r = \frac{n_{1}}{n_{2}} \sin i = \frac{3}{4} \sin 60^{\circ} = \frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{8}$
This gives $\tan r = \frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{37}}$.
Now, the shadow of the pole in the water forms a right triangle, with the submerged part of the pole as one side, the shadow as the hypotenuse, and the line segment from the water surface to the end of the shadow as the other side. The angle at the water surface is $r$. Thus, we can write the following relationships:
The length of the submerged part of the pole (which I'll call $x$), is given by:
$x = 2.15 \, \text{m} \cdot \cos r$
And the length of the line segment from the water surface to the end of the shadow (which I'll call $y$), is given by:
$y = 2.15 \, \text{m} \cdot \sin r$
The total length of the pole above the water surface is then the sum of $x$ and the depth of the swimming pool (1.5 m), which gives us the equation:
$x \sqrt{3} + 1.5 \, \text{m} \cdot \tan r = 2.15 \, \text{m}$
Solving this for $x$ gives us:
$x = \frac{2.15 \, \text{m}}{\sqrt{3}} - \frac{1.5 \, \text{m} \cdot 3}{\sqrt{37}} = 0.502 \, \text{m} = 50.2 \, \text{cm}$
So, the height of the pole above the water surface is approximately 50 cm.
A thin cylindrical rod of length $10 \mathrm{~cm}$ is placed horizontally on the principle axis of a concave mirror of focal length $20 \mathrm{~cm}$. The rod is placed in a such a way that mid point of the rod is at $40 \mathrm{~cm}$ from the pole of mirror. The length of the image formed by the mirror will be $\frac{x}{3} \mathrm{~cm}$. The value of $x$ is _____________.
Explanation:
$\text { A: }$
$ \begin{aligned} & \frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f} \\\\ & \Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{-45}=\frac{1}{-20} \\\\ & \Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{45}-\frac{1}{20}=\frac{4-9}{180}=-\frac{1}{36} \\\\ & \Rightarrow v=-36 \mathrm{~cm} \end{aligned} $
B: $\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{-35}=\frac{1}{-20}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{35}-\frac{1}{20}=\frac{4-7}{140}$
$\Rightarrow \quad v=-\frac{140}{3}$
$\Rightarrow$ length of image $=\frac{140}{3}-36=\frac{32}{3} \mathrm{~cm}$
$\Rightarrow x=32$
In an experiment for estimating the value of focal length of converging mirror, image of an object placed at $40 \mathrm{~cm}$ from the pole of the mirror is formed at distance $120 \mathrm{~cm}$ from the pole of the mirror. These distances are measured with a modified scale in which there are 20 small divisions in $1 \mathrm{~cm}$. The value of error in measurement of focal length of the mirror is $\frac{1}{\mathrm{~K}} \mathrm{~cm}$. The value of $\mathrm{K}$ is __________.
Explanation:
${1 \over v} + {1 \over u} = {1 \over f}$ ...... (1)
$ \Rightarrow - {1 \over {{f^2}}}df = - {1 \over {{v^2}}}dv - {1 \over {{u^2}}}du$
$ \Rightarrow {{df} \over {{f^2}}} = {{dv} \over {{v^2}}} + {{du} \over {{u^2}}}$ ..... (2)
From (1) : $ - {1 \over {120}} - {1 \over {40}} = {1 \over f} \Rightarrow f = - 30$ cm
Also, least count $ = {{1\,\mathrm{cm}} \over {20}} = 0.05$ cm
$ \Rightarrow df = \left[ {{{0.05} \over {{{120}^2}}} + {{0.05} \over {{{40}^2}}}} \right] \times {30^2}$
$ = 0.05\left[ {{1 \over {16}} + {9 \over {16}}} \right] = {5 \over 8} \times {5 \over {100}} = {1 \over {32}}$ cm
$ \Rightarrow k = 32$
In an experiment of measuring the refractive index of a glass slab using travelling microscope in physics lab, a student measures real thickness of the glass slab as 5.25 mm and apparent thickness of the glass slab as 5.00 mm. Travelling microscope has 20 divisions in one cm on main scale and 20 divisions on vernier scale is equal to 49 divisions on main scale. The estimated uncertainty in the measurement of refractive index of the slab is $\frac{x}{10}\times10^{-3}$, where $x$ is ___________
Explanation:
$\mu=\frac{\mathrm{real\,depth}\,(l_1)}{\mathrm{apparent\,depth}\,(l_2)}$
$=\frac{5.25}{5}=1.05$
$\frac{d\mu}{\mu}=\frac{dl_1}{l_1}+\frac{dl_2}{l_2}$
$d\mu = \left( {{{d{l_1}} \over {{l_1}}} + {{d{l_2}} \over {{l_2}}}} \right)\mu $
$ = \left( {{{0.01} \over {5.25}} + {{0.01} \over {5.00}}} \right) \times 1.05$
$ = {{41} \over {10}} \times {10^{ - 3}}$
so $x = 41$
An object is placed on the principal axis of convex lens of focal length 10cm as shown. A plane mirror is placed on the other side of lens at a distance of 20 cm. The image produced by the plane mirror is 5cm inside the mirror. The distance of the object from the lens is ___________ cm.
Explanation:
$I_{1}$ is image formed by lens and $I_{2}$ is image formed by mirror.
Location of $I_{1}$ and $I_{2}$ from mirror will be equal $=5 \mathrm{~cm}$ Hence $\mathrm{I}_{1}=15 \mathrm{~cm}$ from lens
From $\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{10}$
$ u=-x, v=15 $
$\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{15} \Rightarrow x=30 \mathrm{~cm}$
A ray of light is incident from air on a glass plate having thickness $\sqrt3$ cm and refractive index $\sqrt2$. The angle of incidence of a ray is equal to the critical angle for glass-air interface. The lateral displacement of the ray when it passes through the plate is ____________ $\times$ 10$^{-2}$ cm. (given $\sin 15^\circ = 0.26$)
Explanation:
$\Rightarrow$ at point (1)
$\mu \sin r=\sin i=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
$\sin r=\frac{1}{2} \quad \Rightarrow \quad r=30^{\circ}$
Lateral displacement
$=\frac{t}{\cos r} \sin \left(15^{\circ}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)} \times 0.26$
$=2 \times 0.26$
$=0.52 \mathrm{~cm}$ $=52 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~cm}$
A convex lens of refractive index 1.5 and focal length 18cm in air is immersed in water. The change in focal length of the lens will be ___________ cm.
(Given refractive index of water $=\frac{4}{3}$)
Explanation:
$ \frac{1}{f}=\left(\frac{\mu_{\text {lens }}}{\mu_{\text {mrdium }}}-1\right)\left[\frac{1}{R_{1}}-\frac{1}{R_{2}}\right] $
when in air
$ \frac{1}{18}=\left(\frac{1.5}{1}-1\right)\left[\frac{1}{R_{1}}-\frac{1}{R_{2}}\right]\quad...(1) $
$\mu_{\text {lense }}=1.5, \mu_{\text {air }}=1$.
when in water
$ \frac{1}{f}=\left(\frac{1.5}{4 / 3}-1\right)\left[\frac{1}{R_{1}}-\frac{1}{R_{2}}\right]\quad...(2) $
from (1) & (2)
$f=72$
Change in focal length $=72-18 = 54$
As shown in the figure, a combination of a thin plano concave lens and a thin plano convex lens is used to image an object placed at infinity. The radius of curvature of both the lenses is 30 cm and refraction index of the material for both the lenses is 1.75. Both the lenses are placed at distance of 40 cm from each other. Due to the combination, the image of the object is formed at distance $x=$ _________ cm, from concave lens.
Explanation:
$f_{\text {concave }}=-40 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\frac{1}{f_{\text {convex }}}=(1.75-1)\left(\frac{1}{30}-\frac{1}{\infty}\right)=\frac{0.75}{30}$
$f_{\text {convex }}=40 \mathrm{~cm}$
Let the first image is formed at $v_{1}$ so
$\frac{1}{v_{1}}-\frac{1}{\infty}=\frac{1}{f_{\text {concave }}}=-\frac{1}{40}$
$\Rightarrow v_{1}=-40 \mathrm{~cm}$
for second image
$\frac{1}{x-40}-\frac{1}{-80}=\frac{1}{40}$
$\Rightarrow x=120 \mathrm{~cm}$

The difference of speed of light in the two media A and B (vA $-$ vB) is 2.6 $\times$ 107 m/s. If the refractive index of medium B is 1.47, then the ratio of refractive index of medium B to medium A is : (Given : speed of light in vacuum c = 3 $\times$ 108 ms$-$1)
The X-Y plane be taken as the boundary between two transparent media $\mathrm{M}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{M}_{2}$. $\mathrm{M}_{1}$ in $Z \geqslant 0$ has a refractive index of $\sqrt{2}$ and $M_{2}$ with $Z<0$ has a refractive index of $\sqrt{3}$. A ray of light travelling in $\mathrm{M}_{1}$ along the direction given by the vector $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{P}}=4 \sqrt{3} \hat{i}-3 \sqrt{3} \hat{j}-5 \hat{k}$, is incident on the plane of separation. The value of difference between the angle of incident in $\mathrm{M}_{1}$ and the angle of refraction in $\mathrm{M}_{2}$ will be __________ degree.
Explanation:
Normal will be $ - \widehat k$ so
$\cos i = {{\overleftarrow P \,.\,\widehat n} \over {\left| {\overleftarrow P } \right|\,.\,\left| {\widehat n} \right|}}$
${5 \over {10}} = {1 \over 2}$
$ \Rightarrow i = 60^\circ $
and using Snells law
$\sqrt 2 \sin 60^\circ = \sqrt 3 \sin r$
${{\sqrt 3 } \over {\sqrt 2 }} = \sqrt 3 \sin r$
$ \Rightarrow r = 45^\circ $
So, $i - r = 15^\circ $
An object 'O' is placed at a distance of $100 \mathrm{~cm}$ in front of a concave mirror of radius of curvature $200 \mathrm{~cm}$ as shown in the figure. The object starts moving towards the mirror at a speed $2 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}$. The position of the image from the mirror after $10 \mathrm{~s}$ will be at _________ $\mathrm{cm}$.
Explanation:
The object after 10 second will be at $u = - 80$ cm.
So ${1 \over v} - {1 \over {80}} = - {1 \over {100}} $
$\Rightarrow v = {{8000} \over { + 20}} = 400$ cm
In an experiment with a convex lens, The plot of the image distance $\left(v^{\prime}\right)$ against the object distance ($\left.\mu^{\prime}\right)$ measured from the focus gives a curve $v^{\prime} \mu^{\prime}=225$. If all the distances are measured in $\mathrm{cm}$. The magnitude of the focal length of the lens is ___________ cm.
Explanation:
Using Newton's formula for lenses,
$v'\mu ' = {f^2} = 225 \Rightarrow f = 15$
A thin prism of angle $6^{\circ}$ and refractive index for yellow light $\left(\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{Y}}\right) 1.5$ is combined with another prism of angle $5^{\circ}$ and $\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{Y}}=1.55$. The combination produces no dispersion. The net average deviation $(\delta)$ produced by the combination is $\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^{\circ}$. The value of $x$ is ____________.
Explanation:
${\delta _{net}} = {\delta _1} + {\delta _2}$
$ = |({\mu _1} - 1){A_1} - ({\mu _2} - 1){A_2}|$
$ = |3^\circ - 2.75^\circ |$
${\delta _{net}} = {{1^\circ } \over 4}$
$ \Rightarrow x = 4$
