by principle of reversibility, the beam will return its path when it strikes the mirror perpendicularly

r2=0,r1=A=30o
∴r1+r2=A in a prism
Applying Snell's law at P sini=2sin30o=2×21=21
∠i=45o
The refractive index of the materiel of a prism is 2 and the angle of the prism is 30o. One of the two refracting surface of the prism is made a mirror inwards, by silver coating. A beam of monochromatic light entering the prism from the other face will retrace its path (after reflection from the silvered surface) if its angle of incidence on the prism is

The refractive index of glass is 1.5. The speed of light in glass is:
Two thin lenses of focal lengths f₁ = +20 cm and f₂ = -10 cm are in contact. The power of the combination is:
In a certain camera, a combination of four similar thin convex lenses are arranged axially in contact. Then the power of the combination and the total magnification in comparison to the power $(p)$ and magnification $(m)$ for each lens will be, respectively
The intensity of transmitted light when a polaroid sheet, placed between two crossed polaroids at $22.5^{\circ}$ from the polarization axis of one of the polaroid, is ( $\mathrm{I}_0$ is the intensity of polarised light after passing through the first polaroid):
A microscope has an objective of focal length 2 cm , eyepiece of focal length 4 cm and the tube length of 40 cm . If the distance of distinct vision of eye is 25 cm , the magnification in the microscope is :
