2.

The magnification produced by the compound microscope

Multiplying and dividing by I₁M₁ we get,

Where m₀ & m_e are the magnifying power of objective lens and eyepiece lens.
∴ m = m_e × m₀ ______(1)
Eyepiece acts as a simple microscope.

2. Refraction at a spherical surface:

Consider a convex surface XY, which separates two media having refractive indices n₁ and n₂. Let C be the centre of curvature and P be the pole. Let an object is placed at ‘O’, at a distance ‘u’ from the pole.

I is the real image of the object at a distance V from the surface. OA is the incident ray at angle ‘i’ and Al is the refracted ray at an angle ‘r’. OP is the ray incident normally. So it passes without any deviation. From snell’s law,

\(\frac{\sin i}{\sin r}=\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}\)
If ‘i’ and ‘r’ are small, then sin i » i and sin r » r.

n₁i = n₂r ……….(1)
From the Δ OAC, exterior angle = sum of the interior opposite angles
i-e., i = α + θ ………(2)
Similarly, from Δ IAC,
a = r + β
r = α – β ……..(3)
Substituting the values of eq(2) and eq(3)in eqn.(1) we get,
n₁(α + θ) = n₂(α – β)
n₁α + n₁β = n₂α – n₂β
n₁θ + n₂β = n₂α – n₁α
n₁θ + n₂β = (n₂ – n₁)α ………….(4)
From OAP, we can write,

From IAP, β = \(\frac{\mathrm{AP}}{\mathrm{PI}}\), From CAP, α = \(\frac{\mathrm{AP}}{\mathrm{PC}}\)
Substituting θ, β and α in equation (4) we get,

According to New Cartesian sign convection, we can write,
OP=-u, PI = +v and PC = R
Substituting these values, we get

1. Write the law which relates object and image distance from the lens.
2. Find the initial and final position of the image and calculate average speed of image.
3. A man argues that the image will move uniformly at the same speed as that of object. What is your opinion? Justify.

Answer:
1. The lens equation \(\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}\)

2. u = -36, f = 10
\(\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}\)

If object is moved 10cm towards the lens we can find position
u = -26, f=10
v = 7.2 cm
Speed = \(\frac{7.8-7.2}{2}\) = 3cm/sec.

3. Comparing speed of object and image we can arrive at conclusion that the argument of man is false, speed of image is different from speed of object.

4. Prepare a notice/ label about the precaution to be taken while using the telescope and limitations of the telescope constructed.

Answer:
1. Biconvex lens of power 0.1 dioptre.

2.

3. Magnification:
The magnifying power of a telescope is the ratio of the angle subtended by the image at the eye to the angle subtended by the object at the objective.
\(\mathrm{m}=\frac{\text { angle subtented by the image at eye (eye piece) }}{\text { angle subtended by the object at the objective }}\)
i.e. m = \(\frac{β}{α}\) …….(1) [from figure]
But from ∆CIM, tanα = \(\frac{IM}{IC}\), α = \(\frac{IM}{IC}\)
(For small values tan α ≈ α)
from ∆C¹IM, tanβ = \(\frac{IM }{\mathrm{IC}^{1}}\) , β = \(\frac{IM }{\mathrm{IC}^{1}}\)
substituting α and β in eq (1) we get

But IC = f_o (the focal length objective lens) and IC^l = f_e (the focal length eyepiece lens.)

In this case the length of the telescope tube is (f₀ + f_e).
Case 1 :
When the image formed by the objective is within the focal length of the eyepiece, Then the final image is formed at the least distant of distinct vision. In this case, magnifying power.

4. How is the deviation affected if the above arrangement is immersed in a liquid of refractive index less than that of the above device.

Answer:
1. Prism.

2. Refraction through a prism:

ABC is a section of a prism. AB and AC are the refracting faces, BC is the base of the prism. ∠A is the angle of prism. Aray PQ incidents on the face AB at an angle i₁. QR is the refracted ray inside the prism, which makes two angles r₁ and r₂ (inside the prism). RS is the emergent ray at angle i₂.

The angle between the emergent ray and incident ray is the deviation ‘d’.
In the quadrilateral AQMR,
∠A + ∠R = 180°
[since N₁M are normal]
ie, ∠A + ∠M = 180°____(1)
In the ∆ QMR,
∴ r₁ + r₂ + ∠M = 180° ____(2)
Comparing eq (1) and eq (2)
r₁ + r₂ = ∠A ____(3)
From the ∆ QRT,
(i₁ – r₁) + (i₂ – r₂) = d
[since exterior angle equal sum of the opposite interior angles]
(i₁ + i₂) – (r₁ + r₂) = d
but, r₁ + r₂ = A
∴ (i₁ + i₂) – A = d

3. At minimum deviation D = 2i – A, r₁ = r₂ = r

4. Deviation decreases.

Question 7.
\(\frac{1}{f}=\left(\frac{n_{2}}{n_{i}}-t\right)\left(\frac{1}{R_{i}}-\frac{1}{R_{2}}\right)\) is lens maker’s formula.
1. Write down lens maker’s formula for a convex lens.

• in medium with n₂>n₁
• in a medium with n₂ < n₁
• in a medium n₁ = n₂

Answer:
1. For convex lens R₁ = +ve and R₂ = -ve

2. Yes.

From the above equation it is clear that, \(\mathrm{P} \alpha \frac{\mathrm{n}_{2}}{\mathrm{n}_{1}}\)

In water, \(\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}\) is less. Hence power decreases.

3. P = +ve, converging
P = -ve, diverging
P = 0, Plane glass

2. Refraction through a prism:

ABC is a section of a prism. AB and AC are the refracting faces, BC is the base of the prism. ∠A is the angle of prism. Aray PQ incidents on the faceAB at an angle i₁. QR is the refracted ray inside the prism, which makes two angles r₁ and r₂ (inside the prism). RS is the emergent ray at angle i₂.

The angle between the emergent ray and incident ray is the deviation ‘d’.
In the quadrilateral AQMR,
∠A + ∠R = 180°
[since N₁M are normal]
ie, ∠A + ∠M = 180°____(1)
In the ∆ QMR,
∴ r₁ + r₂ + ∠M = 180° ____(2)
Comparing eq (1) and eq (2)
r₁ + r₂ = ∠A ____(3)
From the ∆ QRT,
(i₁ – r₁) + (i₂ – r₂) = d
[since exterior angle equal sum of the opposite interior angles]
(i₁ + i₂) – (r₁ + r₂) = d
but, r₁ + r₂ = A
∴ (i₁ + i₂) – A = d
(i₁ + i₂) = d + A ____(4)
It is found that for a particular angle of incidence, the deviation is found to be minimum value ‘D’.
At the minimum deviation position,
i₁ = i₂ =i, r₁ = r₂ = r and d = D
Hence eq (3) can be written as,
r + r = A
or r = \(\frac{A}{2}\) ____(5)
Similarly eq (4) can be written as,
i + i = A + D
n = \(\frac{A + D}{2}\) ____(6)
Let n be the refractive index of the prism, then we can write,
n = \(\frac{sin i}{sin r}\) ____(7)
Substituting eq (5) and eq (6) in eq (7),
\(n=\frac{\sin \frac{A+D}{2}}{\sin \frac{A}{2}}\)
i – d curve:

It is found that when the angle of incidence increases deviation (d) decreases and reaches a minimum value and then increases. This minimum value of the angle of deviation is called the angle of minimum deviation.

3. Refracted ray is parallel to base

Question 10.
Refraction of a ray of light at a spherical surface separating two media having refractive indices n₁ and n₂is shown in the figure.

1. Which of the two media is more denser?
2. In the figure, show that\(\frac{\mathrm{n}_{1}}{\mathrm{OA}}+\frac{\mathrm{n}_{2}}{\mathrm{AI}}=\frac{\mathrm{n}_{2}-\mathrm{n}_{1}}{\mathrm{AC}}\).
3. Using the above relation arrive at the thin lens formula.
4. An object is placed on the principal axis of a convex lens at a distance 8 cm from it. Find the magnification of the image if the focal length of the lens is 4 cm.

Answer:
1. Refractive index of medium 2 is greater than medium 1.

2. Refraction at a spherical surface

Consider a convex surface XY, which separates two media having refractive indices n₁ and n₂. Let C be the centre of curvature and P be the pole. Let an object is placed at ‘O’, at a distance ‘u’ from the pole.

I is the real image of the object at a distance V from the surface. OA is the incident ray at angle ‘i’ and Al is the refracted ray at an angle ‘r’. OP is the ray incident normally. So it passes without any deviation. From snell’s law,

\(\frac{\sin i}{\sin r}=\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}\)
If ‘i’ and ‘r’ are small, then sin i » i and sin r » r.

n₁i = n₂r ……….(1)
From the Δ OAC, exterior angle = sum of the interior opposite angles
i-e., i = α + θ ………(2)
Similarly, from Δ IAC,
α = r + β
r = α – β……..(3)
Substituting the values of eq(2) and eq(3)in eqn. (1) we get,
n₁(α + θ) = n₂(α – β)
n₁α + n₁β = n₂α – n₂β
n₁θ + n₂β = n₂α – n₁α
n₁θ + n₂β = (n₂ – n₁)α ………….(4)
From OAP, we can write,

From IAP, β = \(\frac{\mathrm{AP}}{\mathrm{PI}}\), From CAP, a= \(\frac{\mathrm{AP}}{\mathrm{PC}}\)
Substituting θ, β, and α in equation (4) we get,

According to New Cartesian sign convection, we can write,
OP=-u, PI = +v and PC = R
Substituting these values, we get

Case -1:
If the first medium is air, n₁ = 1, and n₂ = n,

3. Consider a thin lens of refractive index n₂ formed by the spherical surfaces ABC and ADC. Let the lens is kept in a medium of refractive index n₁. Let an object ‘O’ is placed in the medium of refractive index n₁Hence the incident ray OM is in the medium of refractive index n₁ and the refracted ray MN is in the medium of refractive index n₁.

The spherical surface ABC (radius of curvature R₁) forms the image at I₁ Let ‘u’ be the object distance and ‘v₁’ be the image distance.
Then we can write,

This image I₁ will act as the virtual object for the surface ADC and forms the image at v.
Then we can write,

Dividing throughout by n₁, we get

if the lens is kept in air, \(\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}\) = n
So the above equation can be written as,

From the definition of the lens, we can take, when
U = ∞, f = v
Substituting these values in the eq (3), we get

This is lens maker’s formula

For convex lens,
f = +ve, R₁ = +ve, R₂ = – ve

For concave lens,
f = -ve, R₁ = -ve, R₂ = +ve

Lens formula From eq(4),

4. u = -8cm, f = +4cm
m = \(\frac{f}{f+u}=\frac{4}{4+-8}\)
m = -1.

Question 11.
Two lenses L₁ and L₂ are placed in contact as shown in figures. The focal length of each lens is 10cm

1. What is power of L₁
2. What is power of L₂
3. What is effective focal length of combination
4. “The power of convex is greater than that of concave and combination can act as a diverging lens”. Is this statement true in any situation? Explain?

Answer:
1.

2.

3.

The combination will act as plane glass.

4. This is true statement. If we place the above combination in a medium of refractive index greater than this condition.

Question 12.
A lens of particular focal length is made from a given glass by adjusting radius of curvature. The formula applied in this case is lens maker’s formula
1. Write down lens maker’s formula
2. Derive lens maker’s formula considering refraction at a spherical surface
3. Explain the following facts based on lens maker’s formula

• power of sun glasses is zero even though they are curved
• if a lens is immersed in water focal length increases

Answer:
1.

2. Refraction by a lens:
Lens Maker’s Formula (for a thin lens): Consider a thin lens of refractive index n₂ formed by the spherical surfaces ABC and ADC. Let the lens is kept in a medium of refractive index n₁. Let an object ‘O’ is placed in the medium of refractive index n₁. Hence the incident ray OM is in the medium of refractive index n₁ and the refracted ray MN is in the medium of refractive index n₂.

The spherical surface ABC (radius of curvature R,) forms the image at l₁. Let ‘u’ be the object distance and ‘v₁’ be the image distance.
Then we can write,

Adding eq (1) and eq (2) we get

Dividing throughout by n₁, we get

if the lens is kept in air, \(\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}\) = n
So the above equation can be written as,

From the definition of the lens, we can take, when u = ∞, f = v
Substituting these values in the eq (3), we get

This is lens maker’s formula
\(\frac{1}{f}=(n-1)\left(\frac{1}{R_{1}}-\frac{1}{R_{2}}\right)\) ____(5)
For convex lens.
f = +ve, R₁ = +ve, R₂ = – ve

For concave lens,
f = -ve, R₁ = -ve, R₂ = +ve

Lens formula
From eq(4),

From eq(5)

From these two equations, we get

Linear magnification :
If h_o is the height of the object and h_i is the height of the image, then linear magnification.

3.
a. R₁ = R, R₂ = +R

power of lens, P = 0

b. We know
