Question : 15
Total: 26
(a) Monochromatic light of wavelength 589nm is incident from air on a water surface. If µ for water is 1.33 , find the wavelength, frequency and speed of the refracted light.
(b) A double convex lens is made of a glass of refractive index 1.55 , with both faces of the same radius of curvature. Find the radius of curvature required, if the focal length is 20cm.
Solution:
