1. \(45^\circ\) 2. \(30^\circ\)
3. \(55^\circ\) 4. \(50^\circ\)

An observer is using an astronomical refracting telescope to observe planets in normal adjustment. The focal lengths of the objective and eyepiece used in the telescope construction are \(20​​\text{m}\) and \(2​​\text{cm}\) respectively. Consider the following statements about the telescope:
(A) the distance between the objective and the eyepiece is \(20.02​​\text{m}.\)
(B) the magnification of the telescope is \(-1000\).
(C) the image of the planet is erect and diminished.
(D) the aperture of the eyepiece is smaller than that of the objective.
 
The correct statements are:
1. A, B, and C 2. B, C, and D
3. C, D, and A 4. A, B, and D

A ray of light is incident on a mirror which is lying on the \(x\text-y\) plane. The reflected ray travels along the direction of the vector \(3\hat i-4\hat j+2\hat k. \) The incident ray must be along:
1. \(-3\hat i+4\hat j+2\hat k\)
2. \(3\hat i-4\hat j-2\hat k\)
3. \(-3\hat i-4\hat j+2\hat k\)
4. \(-3\hat i+4\hat j-2\hat k\)

A beam of light is incident vertically on a glass slab of thickness \(1~\text{cm},\) and refractive index \(1.5.\) A fraction \(A\) is reflected from the front surface while another fraction \(B\) enters the slab and emerges after reflection from the back surface. The time delay between them is:
1. \(10^{-10}~\text{s}\)
2. \(5\times 10^{-10}~\text{s}\)
3. \(10^{-11}~\text{s}\)
