When a light enters a refracting medium, it is found that the magnitude of the angle of refraction is equal to half the angle of reflection. If µ is the refractive index of the medium, then the angle of incidence is

• $2 {\sin }^{-1} \left(\frac{\mathrm{\mu }}{2}\right)$

• $2 {\cos }^{-1} \left(\frac{\mathrm{\mu }}{2}\right)$

• ${\cos }^{-1} \left(\frac{\mathrm{\mu }}{2}\right)$

• ${\sin }^{-1} \left(\frac{\mathrm{\mu }}{2}\right)$

A compound microscope has a magnifying power of 100, when the image is formed at infinity. The objective has a focal length of 0.5 cm and the tube length is 6.5 cm. The
focal length of eye-piece is

• 4 cm

• 2 cm

• 6 cm

• 5.2 cm

When a ray of light enters a glass lens surrounded by air, it slows down. As it  leaves the glass, does its speed increases, decreases or stay the same ? Choose the correct answer from the following.

1. Its speed decreases as the ray is propagating in a medium with higher refractive index.
2. Its speed increases as the refractive index of air is less than that of glass.
3. The speed will stay the same because the speed of light is a universal constant.

• Only I

• Only II

• Only III

• None of these

A telescope consists of two thin lenses of focal lengths 0.3 m and 3 cm respectively. It is focused on moon which subtends an angle of 0.5° at the objective. Then, the angle subtended at the eye by the final image will be

• 0.25°

• 0.5°

• 0.35°

An object is placed at a distance of 10 cm from a co-axial combination of two lenses A and B in contact. The combination forms a real image three times the  size of the object. If lens B is concave with focal length of 30 cm, the nature and focal length of lens A is
