Draw a ray diagram to show the path of the reflected ray corresponding to an incident ray of light parallel to the principal axis of a convex mirror and show the angle of incidence and angle of reflection on it.
Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of a real diminished image of an object by a convex lens. In your diagram, the position of object and image with respect to the principal focus should be shown clearly.
Identify the device used as a spherical mirror or lens in following cases, when the image formed is virtual and erect in each case.Object is placed between infinity and device, image formed is diminished and between pole and focus, behind it.
Refractive index of diamond with respect to glass is 1.6 and absolute refractive index of glass is 1.5. Find out the absolute refractive index of diamond.
The refractive indices of glass and water with respect to air are 3/2 and 4/3 respectively. If speed of light in glass is 2×108 m/s, find the speed of light in water.
