(a)

A small stain on the table beneath a tumbler is viewed from


above. If the base of the glass (ng =1.6) is 2.5 cm thick, and the
tumbler is filled to a depth of 5 cm with water (nw =1.333),
find the apparent position of the stain below the surface of the
water.

(b)

A thin equiconvex lens made of crown glass (ng =1.52) has a


power of +20 D when it is immersed in water(nw =1.33).
What will be its power when it is in air?

(c)

A goldfishs eye is 5 cm from the surface of a spherical


goldfish bowl of radius 12 cm. Neglecting the thickness of
the glass, find the apparent position and linear magnification
of the eye to an observer if the refractive index of the water is
1.333.

the lens and M is the effective (angular) magnification of the
simple magnifier.

(b)

A three surface model eye has radii r1 = +7.8 mm, r2 = +11.00


mm, and r3 = 6.5 mm. The refractive indices of the aqueous,
lens, and vitreous are respectively 1.336, 1.422 and 1.336,
the depth of the anterior chamber d1 = 3.6 mm and the lens
thickness d2 = 3.7 mm.

ii) Find the distance of the secondary focal point from the
corneal apex.

Determine the focal length of a thin plano-convex lens which


is silvered on its flat side. Light is incident on the unsilvered
side. Assume the radius of the curved surface to be r and the
index of the lens to be ng.

(a)

Treating the cornea as a thick lens, find its equivalent power and
the first and second equivalent focal lengths assuming the
corneal thickness to be
0.5 mm, the front surface radius to
be 7.8 mm, the back surface radius to be equal to 6.8 mm, the
corneal refractive index as equal to be 1.375 and the aqueous
refractive index as equal to 1.335.

through a microscope when an object is located just beyond the
focal plane of the objective and the aerial image is formed at the
focal plane of the eyepiece. Include appropriate labels.

(a)

Two positive lenses, each of diameter 5 cm and focal length


15 cm, are separated by a distance of 10 cm. (a) For what
range of object positions along the optical axis will the first
lens control the amount of light passing through the system?

will the second lens control the amount of light passing
through the system?

Use graphical addition or algebraic addition to find the resultant


of adding the sine waves

E3 = 10 sin( t /12)

(d)

Lenses are often coated with thin films of transparent


substances like MgF2 (n=1.38) in order to reduce the
reflection from the glass surface, using interference. How
thick a coating is needed to produce a minimum reflection at
the center of the visible spectrum (550nm)?

(a)

With the help of a simple sketch describe the formation of


Youngs fringes using a Sodium vapour lamp, single slit, and
Fresnel bi-prism. Indicate and label relevant distances.
Which parameters did we measure in the lab and which
parameter did we calculate? Write down the key equation that
we used in our calculation.

In a sketch, indicate the typical location of the image for a


stand magnifier. Describe how we measured the image
distance for the stand magnifier in the lab.
