9.31 Angle of deflection, = 3.5
Distance of the screen from the mirror, D = 1.5 m
The reflected rays get deflected by an amount twice the angle of deflection, i.e. 2
The displacement (d) of the reflected spot of light on the screen is given as:
=
d = 1.5 tan 7 = 0.184 m = 18.4 cm
Hence, the deflection of the reflected spot of light is 18.4 cm.

9.30 Distance between the objective mirror and the secondary mirror, d = 20 mm
Radius of curvature of objective mirror, = 220 mm
Hence focal length of the objective mirror, = = 110 mm
Radius of curvature of secondary mirror, = 140 mm
Hence focal length of the objective mirror, = = 70 mm
The image of an object placed at infinity, formed by the objective mirror, will act as a virtual object for the secondary mirror. Hence, the virtual object distance for the secondary mirror,
u = = 110 – 20 = 90 mm
Applying the mirror formula for the secondary mirror, we can cal

9.29 Focal length of the objective lens, = 140 cm
Focal length of the eyepiece, = 5 cm
Least distance of distinct vision, d = 25 cm
In normal adjustment, the separation between the objective lens and the eyepiece

Height of the tower
Distance of the tower (object) from the telescope, u = 3 km = 3000 m
The angle subtended by the tower at the telescope is given as : = = rad
The angle subtended by the image produced by the objective lens is given as , where = height of the image of the tower formed by the objective lens
So, = = &nbs

9.28 Focal length of the objective lens, = 140 cm
Focal length of the eyepiece, = 5 cm
Least distance of distinct vision, d = 25 cm
When the telescope is in normal adjustment, its magnifying power is given as:
= = = 28
When the final image is formed at d, the magnifying power of the telescope is given as:
= ] = 28 ] = 33.6

9.27 Focal length of the objective lens, = 1.25 cm
Focal length of the eyepiece, = 5 cm
Least distance of distinct vision, d = 25 cm
Angular magnification of the compound microscope = 30X
Total magnifying power of the compound microscope, m = 30
The angular magnification of the eyepiece is given by the relation:
= (1 + ) = (1 + = 6
The angular magnification of the objective lens ( ) is related to by the equation
m = or
= = = 5
We also have relation
5 = or ……….(1)
Applying lens formula for the objective lens

9.26 Though the image size is bigger than the object, the angular size of the image is equal to the angular size of the object. A magnifying glass helps one see the object placed closer than the least distance of distinct vision (i.e. 25 cm). A closer object causes a larger angular size. A magnifying glass provides angular magnification. Without magnification, the object cannot be placed closer to the eye. With magnification, the object can be placed much closer to the eye.
Yes, the angular magnification changes. When the distance between the eye and a magnifying glass is increased, the angular magnification decreases a little. This is

9.25 Area of the virtual image of each square, A = 6.25
Area of each square, = 1
Hence the linear magnification of the object can be calculated as:
m = = = 2.5, but m = or v = 2.5u
Focal length of the magnifying glass, f = 10 cm. According to lens formula
= -
= - or . Hence u = -6 cm and v = -15 cm
The virtual image is formed at a distance of 15 cm, which is less than the near point (i.e. 25 cm) of a normal eye. Hence, it cannot be seen by the eyes directly.

9.24 The maximum possible magnification is obtained when the image is formed at the near point (d = 25 cm)
Image distance, v = -d = -25 cm
Focal length, f = 10 cm
Object distance = u
According the lens formula, we have:
= -
= - = -
u = - 7.14 cm
Hence, to view the squares distinctly, the lens should be kept 7.14 cm away from them.

9.23 Area of each square, A = 1
Object distance, u = - 9 cm
Focal length of the converging lens, f = 10 cm
For image distance v, the lens formula can be written as
= -
= -
=
v = -90 cm
Magnification, m = = = 10
Therefore the area of each square of the virtual image
= 10 = 100
Magnifying power of the lens = = = 2.8
The magnification in (a) is not the same as the magnifying power in (b). The magnification magnitude is = and the magnifying power is = . The two quantities will be equal when the image is for

9.22 The incident, refracted and emergent rays associated with a glass prism ABC is shown in the adjoined figure.

Angle of the prism, = 60
Refractive index of the prism, = 1.524
Let be the incident angle, be the refracted angle, be the incidence angle on face AC and be the emergent angle from the prism = 90
According to Snell's law, for face AC, we can have:
=

= 41
From the Δ ABC, + . Hence = 60 41
According to Snell's law, for face AB, we have
