You are given four sources of light each one providing a light of a single colour – red, blue, green and yellow. Suppose the angle of refraction for a beam of yellow light corresponding to a particular angle of incidence at the interface of two media is \(90^\circ\). Which of the following statements is correct if the source of yellow light is replaced with that of other lights without changing the angle of incidence?
| 1. | The beam of red light would undergo total internal reflection. |
| 2. | The beam of red light would bend towards normal while it gets refracted through the second medium. |
| 3. | The beam of blue light would undergo total internal reflection. |
| 4. | The beam of green light would bend away from the normal as it gets refracted through the second medium |

| 1. | act as a convex lens only for the objects that lie on its curved side. |
| 2. | act as a concave lens for the objects that lie on its curved side. |
| 3. | act as a convex lens irrespective of the side on which the object lies. |
| 4. | act as a concave lens irrespective of side on which the object lies. |

A car is moving with at a constant speed of \(60~\text{km/h}\) on a straight road. Looking at the rear view mirror, the driver finds that the car following him is at a distance of \(100~\text{m}\) and is approaching with a speed of \(5~\text{km/h}\). In order to keep track of the car in the rear, the driver begins to glance alternatively at the rear and side mirror of his car after every \(2~\text{s}\) till the other car overtakes. If the two cars were maintaining their speeds, which of the following statement (s) is/are correct?
| 1. | The speed of the car in the rear is \(65~\text{km/h}\). |
| 2. | In the side mirror the car in the rear would appear to approach with a speed of \(5~\text{km/h}\) to the driver of the leading car. |
| 3. | In the rear view mirror the speed of the approaching car would appear to decrease as the distance between the cars decreases. |
| 4. | In the side mirror, the speed of the approaching car would appear to increase as the distance between the cars decreases. |
