A point source of light is placed at a distance of \(2 f\) from a converging lens of focal length \(f.\) The intensity on the other side of the lens is maximum at a distance:
1. | \(f\) | 2. | \(f\) and \(2 f\) | between
3. | \(2 f\) | 4. | \(2 f\) | more than
A parallel beam of light is incident on a converging lens parallel to its principal axis. As one moves away from the lens on the other side on its principal axis, the intensity of light:
1. | remains constant |
2. | continuously increases |
3. | continuously decreases |
4. | first increases then decreases |
A symmetric double convex lens is cut in two equal parts by a plane perpendicular to the principal axis. If the power of the original lens was \(4 D,\) the power of a cut-lens would be:
1. \(2 D\)
2. \(3 D\)
3. \(4 D\)
4. \(5D\)
A symmetric double convex lens is cut in two equal parts by a plane containing the principal axis. If the power of the original lens was \(4~\text{D},\) the power of a divided lens will be:
1. \(2~\text{D}\)
2. \(3~\text{D}\)
3. \(4~\text{D}\)
4. \(5~\text{D}\)
Two concave lenses \(L_1\) and \(L_2\) are kept in contact with each other. If the space between the two lenses is filled with a material of smaller refractive index, the magnitude of the focal length of the combination:
1. becomes undefined.
2. remains unchanged.
3. increases.
4. decreases.
A thin lens is made with a material having refractive index \(\mu=1.5\). Both sides are convex. It is dipped in water (\(\mu=1.33\)). It will behave like:
1. a convergent lens
2. a divergent lens
3. a rectangular slab
4. a prism
A convex lens is made of a material having refractive index \(1.2.\) Both the surfaces of the lens are convex. If it is dipped into water (\(\mu=1.33 \) ), it will behave like:
1. | a convergent lens | 2. | a divergent lens |
3. | a rectangular slab | 4. | a prism |
A point object \(O\) is placed on the principal axis of a convex lens of focal length \(f = 20~\text{cm}\) at a distance of \(40~\text{cm}\) to the left of it. The diameter of the lens is \(10~\text{cm}.\) An eye is placed \(60~\text{cm}\) to the right of the lens and a distance \(h\) below the principal axis. The maximum value of \(h\) to see the image is:
(assume paraxial approximation to be valid here)
1. Zero
2. \(2.5~\text{cm}\)
3. \(5~\text{cm}\)
4. \(10~\text{cm}\)
The rays of different colours fail to converge at a point after going through a converging lens. This defect is called:
1. spherical aberration
2. distortion
3. coma
4. chromatic aberration
If the light moving in a straight line bends by a small but fixed angle, it may be a case of
(a) reflection
(b) refraction
(c) diffraction
(d) dispersion
Choose the correct option:
1. | (a) and (b) |
2. | (b) and (c) |
3. | (c) and (d) |
4. | all of these |
