MCQ
A student traces the path of a ray of light through a rectangular glass slab for four different angles of incidence. He very cautiously measures the angle f, angle r and the angle e. On analysing his measurements, he is likely to draw the following conclusion:
  • A
    $\angle\text{i} = \angle\text{e} > \angle\text{r}$
  • B
    $\angle\text{i} > \angle\text{r} > \angle\text{e}$
  • C
    $\angle\text{i} = \text{Zr} < \text{Ze}$
  • D
    $\angle\text{i} = \angle\text{e}< \angle\text{r}$

Answer

  1. $\angle\text{i} = \angle\text{e} > \angle\text{r}$

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Explanation:

Since the emergent ray is always parallel to the incident ray, therefore the angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of emergence i.e.

$\angle\text{i}=\angle\text{e}\ .....(\text{i})$

Also, when a light ray travels from rarer to denser medium, it bends towards the normal. Hence

$\angle\text{i}>\angle\text{r}\ .....(\text{ii})$

From (i) and (ii), we get 

$\angle\text{i}=\angle\text{e}>\angle\text{r}$

Hence, the correct answer is $\angle\text{i}=\angle\text{e}>\angle\text{r}$

A student has obtained an image of a distant object on a screen to determine the focal length F1 of the given lens. His teacher after checking the image, gave him another lens of focal length F2 and asked to focus the same object on the same screen. The student found that to obtain a sharp image he has to move the lens away from the screen. From this finding we may conclude that both the lenses given to the student were:
