A point object is moving uniformly towards the pole of a concave mirror of focal length \(25 \mathrm{~cm}\) along its axis as shown below. The speed of the object is \(1 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\). At \(t=0\), the distance of the object from the mirror is \(50 \mathrm{~cm}\). The average velocity of the image formed by the mirror between time \(t=0\) and \(t=0.25 \mathrm{~s}\) is

A transparent medium shows relation between \(i\) and \(r\) as shown. If the speed of light in vacuum is \(c\), the Brewster angle for the medium is

A certain prism is found to produce a minimum deviation of \(38^{\circ}\). It produce a deviation of \(44^{\circ}\) when the angle of incidence is either \(42^{\circ}\) or \(62^{\circ}\). What is the angle of incidence when it is undergoing minimum deviation?

An object approaches a convergent lens from the left of the lens with a uniform speed \(5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) and stops at the focus, the image

The following figure shows a beam of light converging at point \(P\). When a concave lens of focal length \(16 \mathrm{~cm}\) is introduced in the path of the beam at a place shown by dotted line such that \(O P\) becomes the axis of the lens, the beam converges at a distance \(x\) from the lens.

The refracting angle of prism is \(A\) and refractive index of material of prism is \(\cot \frac{A}{2}\). The angle of minimum deviation is \(A\)

If the refractive index from air to glass is \(\frac{3}{2}\) and that from air to water is \(\frac{4}{3}\), then the ratio of focal lengths of a glass lens in water and in air is

In refraction, light waves are bent on passing from one medium to second medium because, in the second medium

Two thin biconvex lenses have focal lengths \(f_1\) and \(f_2\). A third thin biconcave lens has focal length of \(f_3\). If the two biconvex lenses are in contact, then the total power of the lenses is \(P_1\). If the first convex lens is in contact with the third lens, then the total power is \(P_2\). If the second lens is in contact with the third lens, the total power is \(P_3\), then

The size of the image of an object, which is at infinity, as formed by a convex lens of focal length \(30 \mathrm{~cm}\) is \(2 \mathrm{~cm}\).

A convex lens of focal length \(f\) is placed somewhere in between an object and a screen. The distance between the object and the screen is \(x\). If the numerical value of the magnification produced by the lens is \(m\), then the focal length of the lens is

A ray of light passes through an equilateral glass prism in such a manner that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of emergence and each of these angles is equal to \(\frac{3}{4}\) of the angle of the prism. The angle of deviation is
