Assertion:  A double convex lens ( μ = 1.5 ) has focal length 10 cm. When the lens is immersed in water ( μ = 4/3 ) its focal length becomes 77 cm.

Reason:  1f = μg - μwμw1R1 - 1R2

In refraction, light waves are bent on passing from one medium to the second medium, because in the second medium

  • the frequency is different

  • the coefficient of elasticity is different

  • the speed is different

  • the amplitude is smaller


C.

the speed is different

When a ray of light travels from one medium to another medium it always bends. If first medium is rarer and the  second medium is denser it will bend towards the normal, while when the second medium is rarer it bends away from the normal. The bending is caused due to refractive index of second medium with respect to first.

               sin isin r  = n21 

Where  n21 is  a constant, called the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first medium and called as Snell's law of refraction.

    

Thus it is observed that on passing through another medium speed of light changes.

  • 5

  • 8

  • 10

  • 20

A lens is made of flint glass (refractive index= 1.5). When the lens is immersed in a liquid of refractive index 1.25, the focal length

  • increases by a factor of 1.25

  • increases by a factor of 2.5

  • increases by a factor of 1.2

  • decreases by a factor of 1.2

Assertion:  In optical fibre, the diameter of the core is kept small. 

Reason:  This smaller diameter of the core ensures that the fibre should have incident angle more than the critical angle required for total internal reflection.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion

  • If assertion is true, but reason is false

  • Both assertion and reason are false statements

  • sin-1( n2/n1 )

  • sin-1n1 2 - n2 2

  • tan-1 n2n1

  • tan-1 n1n2
