The angle of incidence for a ray of light at a refracting surface of a prism is 45°. The angle of prism is 60°. If the ray suffers minimum deviation through the prism, the angle of deviation and refracting index of the material of the prism respectively are

In an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment a straight black line of length L is drawn on inside part of the objective lens. The eye-piece forms a real image of this line. The length of this image is l. The magnification of the telescope is:

If the focal length of the objective lens is increased, then magnifying power of :

(2) microscope and telescope both will increase

(3) microscope and telescope both will decrease

(4) microscope will decrease but that of telescope will increase

The angle of a prism is A. One of its refracting surfaces is silvered. Light rays falling at an angle of incidence 2A on the first surface returns back through the same path after suffering reflection at the silvered surface. The refractive index μ of the prism is

A plane-convex lens fits exactly into a plano-concave lens. Their plane surfaces are parallel to each other. If lenses are made of different materials of refractive indices \(\mu_1\) and \(\mu_2\) and \(R\) is the radius of curvature of the curved surface of the lenses, then the focal length of the combination is:
