A thin convex lens made from crown glass \(\left(\mu=\frac{3}{2}\right) \) has focal length \(f\). When it is measured in two different liquids having refractive indices \(\frac{4}{3}\) and \(\frac{5}{3}\), it has the focal lengths \(f_1\) and \(f_2\) respectively. The correct relation between the focal lengths is:

1. \(f_1>f\) and \(f_2\) becomes negative
2. \(f_2>f\) and \(f_1\) becomes negative
3. \(f_1\) and \(f_2\) becomes negative
4. \(f_1=f_2<f\)

Monochromatic light is incident on a glass prism of angle \(A\). If the refractive index of the material of the prism is \(\mu\), a ray, incident at an angle \(\theta\), on the face \(AB\) would get transmitted through the face \(AC\) of the prism provided:

       

1. \( \theta>\sin ^{-1}\left[\mu \sin \left({A}-\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\mu}\right)\right)\right] \)

Let the refractive index of a denser medium with respect to a rarer medium be \({n}_{12}\) and its critical angle is \(\theta_\text{C}.\) At an angle of incidence \(A,\) when light is traveling from a denser medium to a rarer medium, a part of the light is reflected and the rest is refracted. The angle between reflected and refracted rays is \(90^\circ.\) The angle \(A\) is given by:
1. \(\cos^{-1}(\sin\theta_\text{C})\)
