An equilateral triangular prism of glass \((\mu=1.5)\) is placed in air. A ray of light is incident normally onto the surface \(AB.\) The ray will finally emerge:
              
1. normally from the surface \(BC.\)
2. normally from the surface \(AC.\)
3. either from the surface \(BC\) or \(AC,\) normally.
4. either from the surface \(BC\) or \(AC,\) at an angle of emergence greater than \(60^{\circ}\) but less than \(90^{\circ}.\)

An equi-convex lens of focal length \(20\) cm (in the air) is split into two parts by a surface that has half the curvature of either of its outer surfaces. The ratio of the powers of the two lenses thus formed is:
1. \(3:1\)
2. \(2:1\)
3. \(1:1\)
4. \(-2:1\)

A converging lens is placed near a small object, but the image appears to be extremely large. A second identical lens is placed just behind the first one and very close to it. The final image will be:
1. real and magnified
2. real and diminished
3. real and of the same size
4. virtual

A ray of light \((1)\) gets reflected partially at the front surface of a thin film of thickness \(t,\) and refractive index \(\mu.\) The reflected ray from the front surface is \(2\) while that emerging due to reflection from the rear surface is \(3.\) Assume that ray \(1\) is incident normally. The optical path difference between rays \(2\) and \(3\) is:
1. \((\mu-1)t\) 2. \(2(\mu-1)t\)
3. \(\mu t\) 4. \(2\mu t\)

A thin-walled spherical glass vessel is completely filled with water, and within the water swims a small fish. A person, outside, views this fish when it is motionless – floating at the centre of curvature of the vessel. \(\large\Big(\)\(\mu_{\text{glass}}=1.5,\mu_{\text{water}}=\)\(\large\frac43\Big)\) The image of the fish would appear to be (relative to the viewer):
1. closer than the centre of curvature
2. farther than the centre of curvature
3. at the centre of curvature
4. at infinity

The following diagram shows light travelling from \(A\) to \(B\) after bouncing off a plane mirror at \(P\). The time taken is \(t_{APB}\). If, however, light were to take a different path, \(AQB\) (shown by the dotted line), the time taken is \(t_{AQB}\)
Then, 
                         
1. \(t_{APB}=t_{AQB}\)
2. \(t_{APB}<t_{AQB}\)
3. \(t_{APB}>t_{AQB}\)
4. \(t_{APB}\) maybe greater than or less than \(t_{AQB}\) depending on whether \(Q\) is to the left or right of \(P\).

A thin plane parallel slab (thickness \(t\), refractive index \(\mu\)) is placed just behind a converging lens of focal length \(f.\) If a parallel beam of light is incident on the combination it will converge at a distance of:
1. \(f\) from the end of the slab.
2. \(f-\frac{t}{\mu}\) from the end of the slab.
3. \(f+\frac{t}{\mu}\) from the end of the slab.
4. \(f+t\Big(1-\frac{1}{\mu}\Big)\) from the end of the slab.

2. (A) is False but (R) is True.
3. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is a correct explanation of (A).
