Derive the following.

For any prism, show that refractive index ‘$n$’ of its material is given by: $n = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{A + \delta_m}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{A}{2}\right)}$ where the terms have their usual meaning.

To show: $n = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{A + \delta_m}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{A}{2}\right)}$

Study the Assertion and Reason and choose the correct option.

Assertion: If critical angle of glass-air pair ($\mu_g = 3/2$) is $\theta_1$ and that of water-air pair ($\mu_w = 4/3$) is $\theta_2$, then the critical angle for the water-glass pair will lie between $\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$.

Reason: A medium is optically denser if its refractive index is greater.

  • (a)Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
  • (b)Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
  • (c)Assertion is false and Reason is true.
  • (d)Both Assertion and Reason are false.

Study the Assertion and Reason and choose the correct option.

Assertion: The graph for 'v' versus 'u' of a concave mirror forming real images, falls within the second quadrant.

Reason: For concave mirrors, according to the sign convention for real images, 'u' is negative, and 'v' is positive.

  • (a)Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
  • (b)Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
