  1.  

Definition - It is the ratio of the angle subtended at the eye, by the final image, to the angle which the object subtends at the lens, or the eye.

  1. Objective=.5D
Eye lens = 10D This choice would give higher magnification as.
$\text{M} = \frac{\text{f}_{o}}{\text{f}_{e}} = \frac{\text{p}_{e}}{\text{p}_{o}}$
  1. High resolving power/Brighter image/lower limit of resolution.

    The refractive index of a material $M_1$ changes by 0.014 and that of another material $M_2$ changes by 0.024 as the colour of the light is changed from red to violet. Two thin prisms one made of $M_1(A = 5.3^\circ)$ and other made of $M_2(A = 3.7^\circ)$ are combined with their refracting angles oppositely directed.
    1. Find the angular dispersion produced by the combination.

    1. An equiconvex lens with radii of curvature of magnitude r each, is put over a liquid layer poured on top of a plane mirror. A small needle, with its tip on the principal axis of the lens, is moved along the axis until its inverted real image coincides with the needle itself. The distance of the needle from the lens is measured to be 'a'. On removing the liquid layer and repeating the experiment the distance is found to be 'b'.
    Given that two values of distances measured represent the focal length values in the two cases, obtain a formula for the refractive index of the liquid.
    1. If r = 10cm, a = 15cm, b = 10cm, find the refractive index of the liquid.

    An object is placed at a distance of 30cm from a converging lens of focal length 15cm. A normal eye (near point 25cm, far point infinity) is placed close to the lens on the other side.
    1. Can the eye see the object clearly?
    2. What should be the minimum separation between the lens and the eye so that the eye can clearly see the object?
    3. Can a diverging lens, placed in contact with the converging lens, help in seeing the object clearly when the eye is close to the lens?
