Concave Lens:
1. It is a lens that diverges a light beam that falls on it.
2. It has at least one surface that is curved inside.

Air Bubble:
1. These are circular spheres made up of thin water films and contain air.
2. The surface of an air bubble in water bulges outwards due to the air pressure inside the bubble.
How does an air bubble act like a concave lens:
1. The refractive index of water is greater than that of air, ηwater>ηair. This implies that, water is a denser medium than air.
2. Let us consider that a light ray passes through water and enters an air bubble. So, the light ray enters from a denser to rarer medium. So, a ray diagram can be drawn as given below.
3. The ray of light entering the air bubble will diverge, since the ray of light entering from a denser to rarer medium bends away from the normal.
4. Hence, it behaves like a concave lens.

Hence, the air bubble inside water behaves like a concave lens.

Number of lines per unit length

Equation for diffraction maximum in grating is, sinθ = Nmλ
After Rewriting, \(\lambda =\cfrac { sin\theta }{ Nm } \)
Substituting,
\(\lambda =\cfrac { { \sin30 }^{ o } }{ 4\times { 10 }^{ 5 }\times 2 } =\cfrac { 0.5 }{ 4\times { 10 }^{ 5 }\times 2 } \)
= \(\cfrac { 1 }{ 2\times 4\times { 10 }^{ 5 }\times 2 } =\cfrac { 1 }{ 16 \times 10^5} \)

27.
AB is the reflecting surface as shown in the Figure. Both the incident ray IO and the reflected ray OR1 subtend angle i with the normal N as the angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection. When the surface AB is tilted to A'B' by an angle θ, the normal N is also is tilted to N' by the same angle θ.Remember that the position of the incident ray IO remains unaltered. But the reflected ray now is OR2.
Now, in the tilted system, the angle of incidence, ∠N'OI = i + θ and the angle of reflection, ∠N'OR2 = i + θ are the same. The angle between ON' and OR1 is, ∠N'OR1 = i – θ. The angle tilted on the reflected light is the angle between OR1 and OR2 which is ∠R1OR2. From the geometry we can write,
\(\angle { R }_{ 1 }O{ R }_{ 2 }=\angle N'{ { OR }_{ 2 } }-\angle { NOR }_{ 1 }\) \(=\left( i+\theta \right) -\left( i-\theta \right) =2\)
∠R1 OR2 = 2θ.
28.

\(\mathrm{I} ∝ \frac{1}{\lambda^{4}}\)
29.
(i) Let us consider a thin lens made up of a medium of refractive index n2 is placed in a medium of refractive index n1. Let R1 and R2 be the radii of curvature of two spherical surfaces (i) and (ii) respectively and P be the pole.
(ii) Consider a point object 'O' on the principal axis. A paraxial ray from 'O' which falls very close to P, after refraction at the surface (i) forms image at I'.
(iii) Before it does so, it is again refracted by the surface (ii). Therefore the final image is formed at I.
(iv) The general equation for the refraction at a single spherical surface is given by the equation is,
\(\cfrac { { n }_{ 2 } }{ v } =\cfrac { { n }_{ 1 } }{ u } =\cfrac { \left( { \quad n }_{ 2 }-{ { n }_{ 1 } } \right) }{ R } \) ....(i)
(v) For the refracting surface (1), the light goes from n1 to n2
\(\cfrac { { { n }_{ 2 } } }{ v' } -\cfrac { { n }_{ 1 } }{ u } =\cfrac { \left( n_{ 2 }-{ n }_{ 1 } \right) }{ { R }_{ 1} } \) ......(ii)
(vi) For the refracting surface (ii), the light goes from medium n2 to n1
\(\cfrac { { { n }_{ 1 } } }{ v' } -\cfrac { { n }_{ 2 } }{ v' } =\cfrac { \left( n_{ 1 }-{ n }_{ 2 } \right) }{ { R }_{ 2 } } \) ....(iii)
(vii) Adding the above two equations (ii) and (iii)
\(\cfrac { { { n }_{ 1 } } }{ v } =\cfrac { { n }_{ 1 } }{ u } =\left( { n }_{ 2 }-{ n }_{ 1 } \right) \left( \cfrac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 1 } } -\cfrac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 2 } } \right) \)
On further simplifying and rearranging
\(\cfrac { 1 }{ v } -\cfrac { 1 }{ u } =\left( \cfrac { { n }_{ 2 }-{ n }_{ 1 } }{ { n }_{ 1 } } \right) \left( \cfrac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 1 } } -\cfrac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 2 } } \right) \)
\(\cfrac { 1 }{ v } -\cfrac { 1 }{ u } =\left( \cfrac { { n }_{ 2 } }{ { n }_{ 1 } } -1 \right) \left( \cfrac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 1 } } -\cfrac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 2 } } \right) \) ....(iv)
If the refractive of the lens is n2 and is placed in air, then n2= n and n1= 1. So the equation (iv) becomes,
\(\cfrac { 1 }{ v } -\cfrac { 1 }{u } =(n-1) \left( \cfrac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 1 } } -\cfrac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 2 } } \right) \) ...(v)
According to lens makers formula
\(\cfrac { 1 }{ f } =(n-1) \left( \cfrac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 1 } } -\cfrac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 2 } } \right) \) ...(vi)
Comparing the two equations (v) and (vi), we find
\(\cfrac { 1 }{ v } -\cfrac { 1 }{ u }=\cfrac { 1 }{ f }\) .....(vii)
This is called lens equation
30.
Critical angle:
The angle of incidence in the denser medium for which the angle reflection is 90o or the reflected ray graces the boundary between the two media is called critical angle.
Total Internal reflection:
For any angle of incidence greater than the critical angle, the center light is reflected back into the denser medium itself. This phenomenon is called Total internal reflection.
31.
We first consider the effect of the lens. For the
lens, we have
u = - 40 cm and f = + 20 cm
Using the lens formula, we get
\(\cfrac { 1 }{ { v }_{ 1 } } -\cfrac { 1 }{ \left( -40 \right) } =\cfrac { 1 }{ 20 } \) ஃv1 = + 40 cm
Had there been the lens only the image would have been formed at Q1. The plane mirror M is at a distance of 30 cm from lens 1. We can, therefore, think of Q1, as a virtual object, located at a distance of 10cm, behind the plane mirror M. The plane mirror, therefore, forms a real image (of this virtual object Q1) at Q, 10 cm in front of it.
32.
For minimum deviation position
\({ \mu }_{ red }=\cfrac { sin\left( \frac { A+{ \delta }_{ red } }{ 2 } \right) }{ sin\frac { A }{ 2 } } \)
or \(sin\left( \cfrac { A+{ { \delta }_{ red } } }{ 2 } \right) ={ n }_{ red }\)
\(sin\cfrac { 2 }{ A } =1.622\times 0.5=0.811\)
\(\therefore \cfrac { 60+{ \lambda }_{ red } }{ 2 } ={ 54 }^{ o }12'\)
\({ \delta }_{ red }={ 108 }^{ o }24'-{ 60 }^{ o }={ 48 }^{ o }24'\)
Similarly, \(sin\left( \cfrac { A+{ \delta }_{ viloet } }{ 2 } \right) =1.663\times 0.5'\)
= 0.8315 or \(\cfrac { { 60 }^{ o }+{ \delta }_{ viloet } }{ 2 } =56^{ o }15'\)
\({ \delta }_{ viloet }=112^{ o }30'-{ 60 }^{ ' }={ 52 }^{ o }30'\)
\(\therefore { \delta }_{ violet }-{ \delta }_{ red }=\left( 52-30' \right) -\left( 48^{ o }24' \right) ={ 4 }^{ o }6'\)
It is not advisable to use the formula,
\({ \delta }_{ v }-{ \delta }_{ r }=\left( { \mu }_{ v }-{ \mu }_{ r } \right) \) in the above solution.
33.
Since the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of emergence, therefore, the ray of light passes symmetrically through the prism. So, the prism is in a minimum deviation position
Now,\(\\ \\ A+{ \delta }_{ m }=i+e\)
or \({ \delta }_{ m }=e+e-A=2e-A=-2\left( \cfrac { 3 }{ 2 } A \right) -A\)
= \(\cfrac { 3 }{ 2 } A-A=\cfrac { A }{ 2 } =\cfrac { { 60 }^{ o } }{ 2 } ={ 30 }^{ o }\)
\({ n }_{ 21 }=\cfrac { sin\left( \frac { A+{ \delta }_{ m } }{ 2 } \right) }{ sin\left( \frac { A }{ 2 } \right) } =\cfrac { sin\left( \cfrac { { 60 }^{ o }+30^{ o } }{ 2 } \right) }{ sin\cfrac { { 60 }^{ o } }{ 2 } } \)
= \(\cfrac { sin{ 45 }^{ o } }{ sin{ 30 }^{ o } } -\cfrac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } \times \cfrac { 2 }{ 1 } =\sqrt { 2 } =1.414\)
34.
Formula:
Refractive index,\(\mu =\cfrac { sini }{ sinr } \)
\(\sqrt { 3 } =\cfrac { sin{ 60 }^{ o } }{ sinr } \)
\(sinr=\cfrac { \sqrt { 3 } }{ 2 } \times \cfrac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } =\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
sin r = sin30o
⇒ Angle of refraction = 30o
35.
Angle of deviation Produced by Prism:
(i) Let light ray PQ is incident on one of the refracting faces of the prism.
(ii) The angles of incidence and refraction at the first face AB are i1 and rl. The path of the light inside the prism is QR.
(iii) The angle of incidence and refraction at the second face AC is r2 and i2 respectively.
(iv) RS is the ray emerging from the second face. Angle i2 is also caned angle of emergence.
(v) The angle between the direction of the incident ray PQ and the emergent ray RS is called the angle of deviation d.
(vi) The two normals drawn at the point of incidence Q and emergence R meet at point N. They meet at point N.
(vii) The extended incident ray and the emergent ray meet at a point M.
The angle of deviation d1 at the surface AB is,
ㄥRQM = d = i1 - r1 ...(1)
The angle of deviation d2 at the surface AC is
ㄥQRM = d2 = i2 - r2 .......(2)
Total angle of deviation d produced is,
d = d1 + d2 .....(3)
Substituting for d1 and d2 in equation (3)
d = (i1 - r1) + (i2 - r2)
After rearranging,
d = (i1 - r1) + (i2 - r2) ........(4)
In the quadrilateral AQNR, two of the angles (at the vertices Q and R) are right angles. Therefore, the sum of the other angles of the quadrilateral is 180°.
\(\angle A+\angle QNR={ 180 }^{ 0 }\) .........(5)
From the triangle ΔQNR
\({ r }_{ 1 }+{ r }_{ 2 }+\angle QNR={ 180 }^{ o }\) ......(6)
Comparing these two equations (5) and (6) we get,
r1 + r2 = A .......(7)
Substituting this in equation (4) for angle of deviation,
d = i1+ i2 - A .............(8)
(viii) Thus, the angle of deviation depends on the angle of incidence i1, angle of emergence i2 and the angle for the prism A.
(ix) For a given angle of incidence the angle of emergence is decided by the refractive index of the material of the prism. Hence the angle of deviation depends on these following factors.
(i) the angle of incidence
(ii) the angle of the prism.
(iii) the refractive index of the material of the prism (which decides the angle of emergence).
Refractive index of the material of the prism:

At minimum deviation, i1 = i2 = i and r1 = r2 = r
Now, the equation (8) becomes,
D - i1 + i2 - A = 2i - A (or) \(i=\cfrac { \left( A+D \right) }{ 2 } \)
The equation (7) becomes
r1 + r2 = A ⇒ 2r = A (or) \(r=\cfrac { A }{ 2 } \)
Substituting i and r in Snell's law
\(n=\cfrac { sini }{ sinr } \)
\(n=\cfrac{\cfrac{sin(A+D)}{2}}{sin(A/2)}\)
36.
(i) The angle of view for water animals is restricted to twice the critical angle 2ic. The critical angle for water is 48.6°. Thus the angle of view is 97.2°.
(ii) The radius R of the circular area depends on the depth d from which it is seen and also the refractive indices of the media.
(iii) The radius R of Snell's window can be deduced with the illustration as shown in Figure.
(iv) Light is seen from a point A at a depth 'd'.
(v) From the Snell's law in product form, n1 sini = n2 sinr
(vi) The equation for the refraction happening at the point B on the boundary between the two media is,
n1 sin ic = n2 sin90o ..(1)
n1sinic = n2 (∵ sin90o = 1)
\(sin{ i }_{ c }=\cfrac { { n }_{ 2 } }{ { n }_{ 1 } } \) ...(2)
From the right angle triangle ΔABC,
\({ sini }_{ c }=\cfrac { CB }{ AB } =\cfrac { R }{ \sqrt { { d }^{ 2 }+{ R }^{ 2 } } } \) ....(3)
Equating the above two equation
\(\cfrac { R }{ \sqrt { { d }^{ 2 }+{ R }_{ 2 } } } =\cfrac { { n }_{ 2 } }{ { n }_{ 1 } } \)
Squaring on both sides
\(\cfrac { { R }^{ 2 } }{ { R }^{ 2 }+d^{ 2 } } \left( \cfrac { { n }_{ 2 } }{ { n }_{ 1 } } \right) ^{ 2 }\)
Taking reciprocal,
\(\cfrac { { R }^{ 2 }+{ d }^{ 2 } }{ { R }^{ 2 } } =\left( \cfrac { { n }_{ 1 } }{ { n }_{ 2 } } \right) ^{ 2 }\)
On further simplifying
\(1+\cfrac { { d }^{ 2 } }{ { R }^{ 2 } } =\left( \cfrac { { n }_{ 1 } }{ { n }_{ 2 } } \right) ^{ 2 };\cfrac { { d }^{ 2 } }{ { R }^{ 2 } } =\left( \cfrac { { n }_{ 1 } }{ { n }_{ 2 } } \right) ^{ 2 }-1;\)
\(\cfrac { { d }^{ 2 } }{ { R }^{ 2 } } =\cfrac { { n }_{ 1 }^{ 2 } }{ { n }_{ 1 }^{ 2 } } -1=\cfrac { { n }_{ 1 }^{ 2 }-{ n }_{ 2 }^{ 2 } }{ { n }_{ 2 }^{ 2 } } \)
Again taking reciprocal and rearranging
\(\cfrac { { R }^{ 2 } }{ { d }^{ 2 } } =\cfrac { { { n }_{ 2 }^{ 2 } } }{ { n }_{ 1 }^{ 2 }-{ n }_{ 2 }^{ 2 } } { R }^{ 2 }={ d }^{ 2 }\left( \cfrac { { n }_{ 2 }^{ 2 } }{ { n }_{ 1 }^{ 2 }-{ n }_{ 2 }^{ 2 } } \right) \)
∴ The radius of illumination is,
\(R=d\sqrt { \cfrac { { n }_{ 2 }^{ 2 } }{ \left( n_{ 1 }^{ 2 }-{ n }_{ 2 }^{ 2 } \right) } } \) ...(4)
If the rarer medium outside is air, then, n2 = 1, and we can take n1 = n
\(R=d\left( \cfrac { 1 }{ \sqrt { { n }^{ 2 }-1 } } \right) \) or \(R=\cfrac { d }{ \sqrt { { n }^{ 2 }-1 } } \) ....(5)
37.
38.
(i) When light rays incident on a spherical mirror, after reflection, the rays converge at a point on the principal axis for concave mirror or appear to diverse from a point for convex Mirror.
(ii) This point is called the focus or focal point (F) of the mirror.
39.
The given situation is shown in the figure
Given, A = 60o ; i1 = 0o; i2 = 90o
(a) Equation for angle of deviation,
d = i1 + i2 - A
Substituting the values
d = 0o + 90o- 60o = 30o
The angle of deviation produced is, d = 30°
(b) The light inside the prism must be falling on the second face at critical angle as it graces the boundary. ic = 90° – 30° = 60°
Equation for critical angle is, \(\sin i_{c}=\frac{1}{n}\)
\(n=\frac{1}{\sin i_{c}} ; \quad n=\frac{1}{\sin 60^{\circ}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} / 2}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}=1.15\)
The refractive index of the material of the prism is, n = 1.15

This lens is called convexo-concave lens
Given, n = 1.52, R1 = 10 cm and R2 = 20 cm
Both R1 and R2 are positive
Lens makers formula,
\(\cfrac { 1 }{ f } =\left( n-1 \right) \left( \cfrac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 1 } } -\cfrac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 2 } } \right) \)
Substituting the values,
\(\cfrac { 1 }{ f } =\left( 1.52-1 \right) \left( \cfrac { 1 }{ 10 } -\cfrac { 1 }{ 20 } \right) \)
\(\cfrac { 1 }{ f } =\left( 0.52 \right) \left( \cfrac { 2-1 }{ 20 } \right) =\left( 0.52 \right) (\frac{1}{20})=\cfrac { 0.52 }{ 20 } \)
\(f=\cfrac { 20 }{ 0.52 } =38.46cm\)
As the focal length is positive, the lens is a converging lens.

Case i) \(\cfrac { { n }_{ 2 } }{ v } -\cfrac { { n }_{ 1 } }{ u } =\cfrac { \left( { n }_{ 2 }-{ n }_{ 1 } \right) }{ R } \)
applying sign convention, u = –10 cm, R = 15 cm
\(\cfrac { 2 }{ v } -\cfrac { 1 }{ -10 } =\cfrac { \left( 2-1 \right) }{ 15 } ;\cfrac { 2 }{ v } +\cfrac { 1 }{ 15 } =\cfrac { \left( 1 \right) }{ 10 } \)
∴ =− 60 cm
[a virtual image is formed 60 cm, to the left of the surface]
Case ii) \(\cfrac { { n }_{ 2 } }{ v } -\cfrac { { n }_{ 1 } }{ u } =\cfrac { \left( { n }_{ 2 }-{ n }_{ 1 } \right) }{ R } \)
applying sign convention, u = –30 cm, R = 15 cm
\(\cfrac { 2 }{ v } -\cfrac { 1 }{ -30 } =\cfrac { \left( 2-1 \right) }{ 15 } ;\cfrac { 2 }{ v } +\cfrac { 1 }{ 30 } =\cfrac { \left( 1 \right) }{ 15 } \)
∴ = 60 cm [a real image is formed 60 cm, to the right of the surface]

Given, thickness of glass slab, d = 50 cm = 0.5 m, refractive index, n = 1.5
refractive index, \(n=\cfrac { c }{ v } \)
(a) speed of light in the glass slab is,
\(v=\cfrac { c }{ n } =\cfrac { 3\times { 10 }^{ 8 } }{ 1.5 } =2\times { 10 }^{ 8 }{ ms }^{ -1 }\)
(b) time taken by light to travel through the glass slab is,
\(t=\cfrac { d }{ v } =\cfrac { 0.5 }{ 2\times { 10 }^{ 8 } } =2.5\times { 10 }^{ -9 }{ s }\)
(c) optical path,
d' = nd = 1.5 x 0.5 = 0.75 m = 75 cm
Light would have traveled an additional 25 cm (75 cm – 50 cm) in vacuum at the same time had there been no glass slab in its path.

\(P_{a}=\frac{1}{f_{a}}=\left(\frac{\mu_{g}}{\mu_{a}}-1\right)\left(\frac{1}{R_{1}}-\frac{1}{R_{2}}\right) \) ..(1)
\(P_{w}=\frac{1}{f_{w}}=\left(\frac{\mu_{g}}{\mu_{w}}-1\right)\left(\frac{1}{R_{1}}-\frac{1}{R_{2}}\right) \) ...(2)
\(p_{a}=5 D, f_{w}=-100 \text { (Diverging lens) } \)
\(\mu_{\mathrm{g}}=1.5, \mu_{\mathrm{a}}=1 \)
\(5=(1.5-1)\left(\frac{1}{R_{1}}-\frac{1}{R_{2}}\right) \) ...(3)
\(\left(\frac{1}{R_{1}}-\frac{1}{R_{2}}\right)=\frac{5}{0.5}=\frac{50}{5}=10 \)
\(\frac{1}{f_{w}}=\left(\frac{1.5}{n_{w}}-1\right)\left(\frac{1}{R_{1}}-\frac{1}{R_{2}}\right) \) ...(4)
\(\frac{-1}{100 \times 10^{-2}}=\left(\frac{1.5}{n_{w}}-1\right)\left(\frac{1}{R_{1}}-\frac{1}{R_{2}}\right) \)
\(-1=\left(\frac{1.5}{n_{w}}-1\right)(10) \Rightarrow \frac{-1}{10}=\frac{1.5}{n_{w}}-1 \)
\(\frac{1.5}{n_{w}}=\frac{-1}{10}+1 \)
\(\frac{1.5}{n_{w}}=\frac{9}{10} \)
\(n_{w}=\frac{1.5 \times 10}{9}=\frac{15}{9}=\frac{5}{3} \)
\(n_{w}=\frac{5}{3} \)
