A beam of light from a source $$L$$ is incident normally on a plane mirror fixed at a certain distance $$x$$ from the source. The beam is reflected back as a spot on a scale placed just above the source $$L.$$ When the mirror is rotated through a small angle $$\theta ,$$ the spot of the light is found to move through a distance $$y$$ on the scale. The angle $$\theta $$ is given by
According to the question
$$L =$$ Light source
When the light beams incident normally on the plane mirror, it is reflected back to the point from which it was coming. When the plane mirror is rotated by an angle $$\theta $$, the reflected ray or beam of light must rotate by angle $$2\theta ,$$ from refraction at plane surface theory.
From the figure $$\tan 2\theta = \frac{{BS}}{{SO}} = \frac{y}{x}$$
If the angle is small $$\tan 2\theta \approx 2\theta $$
So, $$2\theta = \frac{y}{x} \Rightarrow \theta = \frac{y}{{2x}}$$

A transparent sphere of radius $$R$$ has a cavity of radius $$\frac{R}{2}$$ as shown in figure. Find the refractive index of the sphere if a parallel beam of light falling on left surface focuses at point $$P.$$
Let refractive index of glass be $$\mu .$$
Let after first refraction, image distance be $$v$$ then
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{\mu }{v} - \frac{1}{\infty } = \frac{{\mu - 1}}{R} \cr
& \Rightarrow v = \frac{{\mu R}}{{\mu - 1}} \cr} $$
Now second refraction will take place.
So distance of first image from $$O$$ is
$$\eqalign{
& {u_1} = \frac{{\mu R}}{{\mu - 1}} - R = \frac{R}{{\mu - 1}}\,\,{\text{and image is formed at }}R \cr
& \therefore \frac{1}{R} - \frac{{\mu \left( {\mu - 1} \right)}}{R} = \frac{{2\left( {1 - \mu } \right)}}{R} \cr
& \Rightarrow {\mu ^2} - 3\mu + 1 = 0 \cr
& {\text{So,}}\,\,\mu = \frac{{3 + \sqrt 5 }}{2} \cr} $$

$$r$$ and $$r’$$ denote the angles inside an equilateral prism, as usual, in degrees. Consider that during some time interval from $$t = 0$$ to $$t = t,r’$$ varies with time as $$r' = 10 + {t^2}.$$ During this time $$r$$ will vary as (assume that $$r$$ and $$r’$$ are in degree)
In a prism: $$r + r' = A$$
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow r = A - r' \cr
& \therefore r = {60^ \circ } - \left( {10 + {t^2}} \right) = 50 - {t^2} \cr} $$

Two polaroids $${P_1}$$ and $${P_2}$$ are placed with their axis perpendicular to each other. Unpolarised light $${I_0}$$ is incident on $${P_1}.$$ A third polaroid $${P_3}$$ is kept in between $${P_1}$$ and $${P_2}$$ such that its axis makes an angle $${45^ \circ }$$ with that of $${P_1}.$$ The intensity of transmitted light through $${P_2}$$ is

A lens having focal length $$f$$ and aperture of diameter $$d$$ forms an image of intensity $$I.$$ Aperture of diameter $$\frac{d}{2}$$ in central region of lens is covered by a black paper. Focal length of lens and intensity of image now will be respectively
As we know that
Intensity, $$I \propto A$$ (Area exposed)
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow \frac{{{I_2}}}{{{I_1}}} = \left[ {\frac{{{A_2}}}{{{A_1}}}} \right] = \frac{{\frac{{\pi {d^2}}}{4} - \frac{{\frac{{\pi {d^2}}}{4}}}{4}}}{{\frac{{\pi {d^2}}}{4}}} = \frac{3}{4} \cr
& \Rightarrow {I_2} = \frac{3}{4}{I_1} \cr} $$
and focal length remains unchanged.

An object is moving with speed $${v_0}$$ towards a spherical mirror with radius of curvature $$R,$$ along the central axis of the mirror. The speed of the image with respect to the mirror is ($$U$$ is the distance of the object from mirror at any given time $$t$$)
A
$$ + \left( {\frac{R}{{U - 2R}}} \right)v_0^2$$
B
$$ - {\left( {\frac{R}{{R - 2U}}} \right)^2}{v_0}$$
C
$$ - {\left( {\frac{R}{{2U - 2R}}} \right)^2}{v_0}$$

A fish looking up through the water sees the outside world contained in a circular horizon. If the refractive index of water is $$\frac{4}{3}$$ and the fish is $$12\,cm$$ below the surface, the radius of this circle (in $$cm$$ ) is -
A concave mirror forms real and virtual images, whose magnification can be negative or positive depending upon the position of the object. If object is placed between focus and pole the image obtained will be virtual and its magnification will be positive. In all other cases concave mirror forms real images whose magnification will be negative. A convex mirror always forms a virtual image whose magnification will always be positive.

A student measures the focal length of a convex lens by putting an object pin at a distance $$'u’$$ from the lens and measuring the distance $$'v’$$ of the image pin. The graph between $$'u’$$ and $$'v’$$ plotted by the student should look like
