A parallel beam is incident on to a lens of focal length \(f\) (positive), parallel to its principal axis. A thin prism of vertex angle \(A\) and refractive index \(\mu\) is inserted in the path of the parallel beam before it falls on the lens. The focal point of the image:
1. remains unchanged
2. is displaced along \(+y\) by \((\mu-1)Af\)
3. is displaced along \(-y\) by \((\mu-1)Af\)
4. is displaced along \(+x\) by \((\mu-1)Af\)

A beam of light is incident vertically on a glass slab of thickness \(1~\text{cm},\) and refractive index \(1.5.\) A fraction \(A\) is reflected from the front surface while another fraction \(B\) enters the slab and emerges after reflection from the back surface. The time delay between them is:

1. \(10^{-10}~\text{s}\) 2. \(5\times 10^{-10}~\text{s}\)
3. \(10^{-11}~\text{s}\) 4. \(5\times 10^{-11}~\text{s}\)

A solid sphere (centre \(O\)) of homogeneous transparent material kept upright has rays parallel to its vertical diameter falling on it. A ray that is aimed at \(P,\) where the horizontal distance \(OP=\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}R\) (\(R\) being the sphere's radius), undergoes refraction at the sphere's surface and strikes the lowest point \(A.\)
 
Rays falling close to the highest point \((B)\) of the sphere are directed towards a point \(Q\) on the vertical diameter \(AB,\) after refraction. The distance \(BQ\) is:
1. \(\dfrac{R}{2}\) 2. \(\dfrac{R\sqrt3}{\sqrt3 +1}\)
3. \(\dfrac{R\sqrt3}{2}\) 4. \(\dfrac{R\sqrt3}{\sqrt3 -1}\)

Assume that the corner of \(O\) of the room is the origin, and the axes \(x,y,z\) are along the edges. The three walls meeting orthogonally at \(O\) are perfect mirrors. A ray of light travelling parallel to the vector \(-(\hat i+2\hat j+\hat k)\) is incident on the \(y\text-z\) mirror (wall). The emerging ray, after all reflections, will be along:
1. \(\hat i-2\hat j-\hat k\)
2. \(\hat i+\hat k-2\hat j\)
3. \(-\hat i+2\hat j+\hat k\)
4. \(\hat i+2\hat j+\hat k\)

An empty cylindrical beaker whose height is equal to its diameter is kept on a table. An observer's eye\((E)\) looking towards \(S\) (line of sight: \(ES\)) can see the point \(Q\) on the lower right. The angle of view, \(\theta,\) is the angle the line of sight \(ES,\) makes with the vertical \(RS\)-extended. A transparent liquid is now slowly poured into the beaker. As the liquid level rises in the beaker, the line of sight has to be continually adjusted (by increasing angle \(\theta\)) in order to keep \(Q\) visible. When the liquid fills the beaker to the brim, \(Q\) can no more be seen by adjusting the line of sight \(ES. \) The minimum refractive index of the liquid should be:
1. \(\dfrac32\) 2. \(2\)
3. \(\sqrt{\dfrac32} \) 4. \(\sqrt2\)
