Explanation:
Applying Snell's law at first surface $\sin \theta = \sqrt 3 \sin (75^\circ - {\theta _c})$
For limiting condition, at $\theta $ = 60$^\circ $
$\sin 60^\circ = \sqrt 3 \sin (75^\circ - {\theta _c})$
${{\sqrt 3 } \over 2} = \sqrt 3 \sin (75^\circ - {\theta _c})$
${1 \over 2} = \sin (75^\circ - {\theta _c})$
$ \Rightarrow $ $sin30^\circ = \sin (75^\circ - {\theta _c})$
$30^\circ $ = $75^\circ - {\theta _c}$ $ \Rightarrow $ ${\theta _c}$ = 45$^\circ $
Now since θc < 60o, therefore total internal reflection takes place. For total internal reflection at the other refracting surface, using Snell’s law, we have
${n \over {\sqrt 3 }} = {1 \over {\sqrt 2 }} \Rightarrow {n^2} = {3 \over 2} = 1.50$
[Speed of light, c = 3 $ \times $ 108 m/s]

Explanation:

According to total internal reflection (TIR),
$1.5\sin {\theta _c} = 1.44\sin 90^\circ $
$\sin {\theta _c} = {{1.44} \over {1.50}} = {{24} \over {25}}$
$ \therefore $ $\sin {\theta _c} = {x \over d} = {{24} \over {25}} \Rightarrow d = {{25x} \over {24}}$
$ \therefore $ Total length travelled by light,
$ \therefore $ $t = {S \over {\left( {{c \over {{n_1}}}} \right)}} = {{10} \over {{{3 \times {{10}^8}} \over {1.5}}}} = {1 \over 2} \times {10^{ - 7}} = 5 \times {10^{ - 8}}$
t = 50 ns $ \Rightarrow $ t = 50 $ \times $ 10-9

Identify the correct statements.
If the same lens is instead silvered on the curved surface and illuminated from other side as in Fig-B, it acts like an optical system of focal length $10$ $cm.$ The refractive index of the material of lens is :
Explanation:
Given, intensity of sunlight, I = 1.3 kW m-2 and focal length of convex lens, f = 20 cm
Now, we know, Intensity = ${{Energy} \over {Area}}$
So, intensity on screen is given as
${I_{screen}} = {{Incident\,energy} \over {{A_2}}}$
But, Incident energy = Intensity of sunlight $\times$ Area of lens
= 1.3 kW m$-$2 $\times$ A1
So, intensity on screen is given as
${I_{screen}} = 1.3\,kW\,{m^{ - 2}} \times {{{A_1}} \over {{A_2}}}$
Now from figure, and using similar triangles theorem, we have
${{{A_1}} \over {{A_2}}} = {\left( {{{20} \over 2}} \right)^2} = 100$
Therefore, intensity on screen = 1.3 kW m$-$2 $\times$ 100 = 130 kW m$-$2
Which of the following options is/are correct?
$A = {1 \over 2}{\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {{\mu \over 2}} \right)$
${i_1} = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\sin A\sqrt {4{{\cos }^2}{A \over 2} - 1} - \cos A} \right]$
Explanation:
Applying Snell's law, we have nsin$\theta$ = (n $-$ m$\Delta$n)sin90$^\circ$ it is given that n = 1.6, $\theta$ = 30$^\circ$, $\Delta$n = 0.1. The above equation becomes
1.6sin30 = [1.6 $-$ m(0.1)]sin90
1.6 $\times$ ${1 \over 2}$ = (1.6 $-$ 0.1m) $\times$ 1
0.8 = (1.6 $-$ 0.1m)
0.1m = 1.6 $-$ 0.8
0.1m = 0.8
m = 8

The focal length of the convex lens is f1 and that of mirror is f2. Then taking index correction to be negligibly small, f1 and f2 are close to :

Which of the following statement(s) is (are) true?

If the origin of the coordinate system is taken to be at the centre of the lens, the coordinates (in cm) of the point (x, y) at which the image is formed are
Explanation:

Using Snell's law:
$\sin 60^\circ = n\sin {r_1}$ ..... (1)
$\sin {r_1} = {{\sqrt 3 } \over {2 \times \sqrt 3 }} = {1 \over 2}$
${r_1} = 30^\circ $
Also,
$n\sin {r_2} = 1\sin \theta $
Also
${r_1} + {r_2} = A = 60^\circ $
Therefore,
$n\sin (60^\circ - {r_1}) = 1\sin \theta $ ....... (2)
Differentiating on both sides, we get
$\sin (60^\circ - {r_1}) - n\cos (60^\circ - {r_1}){{d{r_1}} \over {dn}} = \cos \theta {{d\theta } \over {dn}}$
Differentiating Eq. (1) on both sides, we get
$0 = \sin {r_1} + n\cos {r_1}{{d{r_1}} \over {dn}}$
$0 = {1 \over 2} + \sqrt 3 .{{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}{{d{r_1}} \over {dn}}$
Therefore,
${{d{r_1}} \over {dn}} = {{ - 1} \over 3}$
Hence, substituting ${r_1} = 30^\circ $, we get
${{d{r_1}} \over {dn}} = {{ - 1} \over 3}$
Now, $\sin 30^\circ - \sqrt 3 \cos 30^\circ \left( { - {1 \over 3}} \right) = \cos 60^\circ {{d\theta } \over {dn}}$
${1 \over 2} + {3 \over {2 \times 3}} = {1 \over 2}{{d\theta } \over {dn}}$
${{d\theta } \over {dn}} = 2$
Explanation:
Case I
Reflection from mirror
${1 \over f} = {1 \over v} + {1 \over u} \Rightarrow {1 \over { - 10}} = {1 \over v} + {1 \over { - 15}}$
$ \Rightarrow v = - 30$

For lens ${1 \over f} = {1 \over v} - {1 \over u}$
${1 \over {10}} = {1 \over v} - {1 \over { - 20}}$
$v = 20$
$\left| {{M_1}} \right| = \left| {{{{v_1}} \over {{u_1}}}} \right|\left| {{{{v_2}} \over {{u_2}}}} \right|$
$ = \left( {{{30} \over {15}}} \right)\left( {{{20} \over {20}}} \right)$
$ = 2 \times 1 = 2$ (in air)
Case II :
Now, consider the setup placed in a medium of refractive index ${\mu {'_1}}$ = 7/6. The focal length of the mirror does not change. Thus, the distance of the image formed by the mirror and its magnification does not change. The focal length of the lens changes. The refractive index of the lens material is $\mu$2 = 1.5. Apply lens maker's formula to get the new focal length of the lens
${1 \over {f'}} = \left( {{{{\mu _2} - \mu {'_1}} \over {\mu {'_1}}}} \right)\left[ {{1 \over {{R_1}}} - {1 \over {{R_2}}}} \right]$
$ = {{{\mu _2} - \mu {'_1}} \over {\mu {'_1}}}{{{\mu _1}} \over {{\mu _2} - {\mu _1}}}{{{\mu _2} - {\mu _1}} \over {{\mu _1}}}\left[ {{1 \over {{R_1}}} - {1 \over {{R_2}}}} \right]$
$ = \left( {{{{\mu _2} - \mu {'_1}} \over {{\mu _2} - {\mu _1}}}} \right)\left( {{{{\mu _1}} \over {\mu {'_1}}}} \right){1 \over f}$
$ = \left( {{{1.5 - 7/6} \over {1.5 - 1}}} \right)\left( {{1 \over {7/6}}} \right){1 \over {10}} = {2 \over {35}}$. ..... (1)
Again using lens formula, ${1 \over v} - {1 \over u} = {1 \over {{f_l}'}}$
${1 \over v} - {1 \over { - 20}} = {2 \over {35}} \Rightarrow {1 \over v} = {2 \over {35}} - {1 \over {20}} = {1 \over {140}}$
$\therefore$ v = 140 cm
Magnification, ${m_2}' = {v \over u} = {{140} \over { - 20}} = - 7$
Magnification produced by the combination,
${M_2} = {m_1} \times {m_2}' = ( - 2) \times ( - 7) = 14$
$\therefore$ $\left| {{{{M_2}} \over {{M_1}}}} \right| = {{14} \over 2} = 7$

Rays of light parallel to the axis of the cylinder traversing through the film from air to glass get focused at distance f1 from the film, while rays of light traversing from glass to air get focused at distance f2 from the film. Then

A biconvex lens is formed with two planoconvex lenses as shown in the figure. Refractive index n of the first lens is 1.5 and that of the second lens is 1.2. Both curved surface are of the same radius of curvature R = 14 cm. For this biconvex lens, for an object distance of 40 cm, the image distance will be

H = 30 cm
R = 300 cm
${{{n_2}} \over v} - {{{n_1}} \over u} = {{{n_2} - {n_1}} \over R}$;
Consider the point L at an object distance u = $-$ | f | / 2. For convenience, we use symbol $\widehat f$ for | f | i.e., $\widehat f$ = | f |. Use mirror formula, 1/v + 1/u = 1/f, with f = $-$ $\widehat f$ to get the image distance v = $\widehat f$. Thus, the virtual image L' of the point L is formed on the left side of the mirror at a distance $\widehat f$.
