A printed page is pressed by a glass of water. The refractive index of the glass and water is $1.5$ and $1.33$, respectively. If the thickness of the bottom of glass is $1 \mathrm{~cm}$ and depth of water is $5 \mathrm{~cm}$, how much the page will appear to be shifted if viewed from the top ?
This question has Statement-1 and Statement-2. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements. Statement-1: Short wave transmission is achieved due to the total internal reflection of the e-m wave from an appropriate height in the ionosphere. Statement-2: Refractive index of a plasma is independent of the frequency of e-m waves.
Diameter of a plano - convex lens is $6\mathrm{cm}$ and thickness at the centre is $3\mathrm{mm}$. If the speed of light in the material of lens is $2\times 1{0}^{8}m{s}^{-1}$, the focal length of the lens is:
The source that illuminates the double $-$ slit in 'double - slit interference experiment' emits two distinct monochromatic waves of wavelength $500\mathrm{~nm}$ and $600 \mathrm{~nm}$, each of them producing its own pattern on the screen. At the central point of the pattern when path difference is zero, maxima of both the patterns coincide and the resulting interference pattern is most distinct at the region of zero path difference. But as one moves out of this central region, the two fringe systems are gradually out of step such that maximum due to on wavelength coincides with the minimum due to the other and the combined fringe system becomes completely indistinct. This may happen when path difference in $\mathrm{nm}$ is:
A person lives in a high-rise building on the bank of a river $50 \mathrm{~m}$ wide. Across the river is a well lit tower of height $40 \mathrm{~m}$. When the person, who is at a height of $10 \mathrm{~m}$, looks through a polarizer at an appropriate angle at light of the tower reflecting from the river surface, he notes that intensity of light coming from distance $\mathrm{X}$ from his building is the least and this corresponds to the light coming from light bulbs at height ' $\mathrm{Y}$ ' on the tower. The values of $\mathrm{X}$ and $\mathrm{Y}$ are respectively close to (refractive index of water $\simeq \frac{4}{3}$ ) 
A beam of unpolarised light of intensity ${I}_{0}$ is passed through a polaroid $A$ and then through another polaroid $B$ which is oriented so that its principle plane makes an angle of ${\text{45}}^{\text{o}}$ relative to that of $A$. The intensity of the emergent light is:

The image of an illuminated square is obtained on a screen with the help of a converging lens. The distance of the square from the lens is 40 $\mathrm{cm}$. The area of the image is 9 times that of the square. The focal length of the lens is :
A ray of light of intensity $\mathrm{I}$ is incident on a parallel glass slab at point $\mathrm{A}$ as shown in diagram. It undergoes partial reflection and refraction. At each reflection, $25 \%$ of incident energy is reflected. The rays $\mathrm{AB}$ and $\mathrm{A}^{\prime} \mathrm{B}^{\prime}$ undergo interference. The ratio of $\mathrm{I}_{\max }$ and $\mathrm{I}_{\min }$ is : 
Light is incident from a medium into air at two possible angles of incidence (A) $20^{\circ}$ and (B) $40^{\circ}$. In the medium light travels $3.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ in $0.2 \mathrm{~ns}$. The ray will :

A thin glass plate of thickness is $\frac{2500}{3} \lambda$ ( $\lambda$ is wavelength of light used) and refractive index $\mu=1.5$ is inserted between one of the slits and the screen in Young's double slit experiment. At a point on the screen equidistant from the slits, the ratio of the intensities before and after the introduction of the glass plate is :
The focal length of the objective and the eyepiece of a telescope are $50 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $5 \mathrm{~cm}$ respectively. If the telescope is focussed for distinct vision on a scale distant $2 \mathrm{~m}$ from its objective, then its magnifying power will be :
This question has Statement-1 and Statement-2. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements. Statement 1: Very large size telescopes are reflecting telescopes instead of refracting telescopes. Statement 2: It is easier to provide mechanical support to large size mirrors than large size lenses.

Statement-1 : Out of radio waves and microwaves, the radio waves undergo more diffraction. Statement-2 : Radio waves have greater frequency compared to microwaves.

This question has Statement-1 and Statement-2. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements. Statement-1: In Young's double slit experiment, the number of fringes observed in the field of view is small with longer wavelength of light and is large with shorter wavelength of light. Statement-2: In the double slit experiment the fringe width depends directly on the wavelength of light.
