(d) have neither dispersion nor average deviation

Choose the correct option:

1. (a) and (b)

3. (b), (c) and (d)

In producing a pure spectrum, the incident light is passed through a narrow slit placed in the focal plane of an achromatic lens because a narrow slit

1. produces less diffraction

2. increases intensity

3. allows only one colour at a time

4. allows a more parallel beam when it passes through the lens

Which of the following quantities related to a lens depend on the wavelength or wavelengths of the incident light?

(a) Power

(b) Focal length

(c) Chromatic aberration

(d) Radii of curvature

Choose the correct option:

1. (a), (b) and (c)

2. (b), (c) and (d)

3. (a) and (b)

4. All of the above

Which of the following quantities increase when wavelength is increased? Consider only the magnitudes.

(a) The power of a converging lens

(b) The focal length of a converging lens

(c) The power of a diverging lens

(d) The focal length of a diverging lens

Choose the correct option:

1. (a) and (b)

2. (b) and (c)

3. (b) and (d)

4. (c) and (d)

An illuminated object is placed on the principal axis of a converging lens so that a real image is formed on the other side of the lens. If the object is shifted a little,

1. the image will be shifted simultaneously with the object

2. the image will be shifted a little later than the object

3. the image will be shifted a little earlier than the object

4. the image will not shift

The focal length of a converging lens are f_v and f_r for violet and red light respectively.

1. f_v > f_r

2. f_v = f_r

3. f_v < f_r

4. Any of the three is possible depending on the value of the average refractive index \(\mu\)

Consider the following two statements:

(A) Line spectra contain information about atoms.
(B) Band spectra contain information about molecules.

1. Both A and B are wrong

2. A is correct but B is wrong

3. B is correct but A is wrong

4. Both A and B are correct

A prism can produce a minimum deviation \(\delta\) in a light beam. If three such prisms are combined, the minimum deviation that can be produced in this beam is

1. 0

2. \(\delta\)

3. 2\(\delta\)

4. 3\(\delta\)

If a glass prism is dipped in water, its dispersive power

1. increases

2. decreases

3. does not change

4. may increase or decrease depending on whether the angle of the prism is less than or greater than 60°
