Marking-scheme solution
(i)
From the diagram $\displaystyle \beta = \dfrac{h}{f_e}$
and $\displaystyle \alpha = \dfrac{h}{f_o}$
Magnifying Power $\displaystyle = \dfrac{f_o}{f_e}$
(ii)
For lens $\displaystyle \mathrm{L}_1$,
$\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{v} - \dfrac{1}{u} = \dfrac{1}{f}$
$\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{v} - \dfrac{1}{-36} = \dfrac{1}{24}$
$\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{v} = \dfrac{1}{24} - \dfrac{1}{36}$
$\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{v} = \dfrac{3-2}{72} = \dfrac{1}{72}$
$\displaystyle v = 72\,cm$
For lens $\displaystyle \mathrm{L}_2$ :
$\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{v'} - \dfrac{1}{u'} = \dfrac{1}{f'}$
$\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{v'} - \dfrac{1}{(72-45)} = \dfrac{1}{-18}$
$\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{v'} = \dfrac{1}{-18} + \dfrac{1}{27}$
$\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{v'} = \dfrac{-3+2}{54} = \dfrac{-1}{54}$
$\displaystyle v' = -54\,cm$
Final distance $\displaystyle v_1' = -54 - (-45)$
$\displaystyle v_1' = -9\,cm$ (to the left of convex lens)
Magnification $\displaystyle \dfrac{h_i}{h_o} = \dfrac{v_1'}{u}$
$\displaystyle \dfrac{h_i}{1} = \dfrac{-9}{-36} \Rightarrow h_i = +\dfrac{1}{4}\,cm$
(i)
Working Principle:
Optical fibre uses the optical principle of total internal reflection to capture the light transmitted in an optical fibre and confine the light to the core of the fibre.
Uses : Transmission of audio and video signal / Examination of internal organs / Endoscopy
(ii)
$\displaystyle \delta_m = i + e - A$
$\displaystyle \delta_m = 2i - A$
$\displaystyle \delta_m = 60°$
Refractive Index
$\displaystyle \mu = \dfrac{\sin\left(\dfrac{A+\delta_m}{2}\right)}{\sin A/2}$
$\displaystyle \mu = \dfrac{\sin\dfrac{120^o}{2}}{\sin\dfrac{60^0}{2}}$
$\displaystyle \mu = \dfrac{\sin 60^0}{\sin 30^0} = \dfrac{\sqrt3/2}{1/2}$
$\displaystyle \mu = \sqrt3$
If the prism is immersed in water $\displaystyle \mu$ decreases and consequently angle of minimum deviation decreases. Since $\displaystyle \delta_m$ depends on $\displaystyle \mu$ through equation given above.
