As shown in the figure, a parallel beam of light incidents on the upper part of a prism of angle 1.8^ and material of refractive index 1.5. The light emerging out from the prism falls on a concave mirror of radius of curvature 40 ~cm . This distance of the point from the principal axis of the mirror where the light rays are focussed after reflection from the mirror is
Options
- A4.76 cm
- B1.57 mm
- C3.14 mm
- D6.28 mm
Correct answer
B. 1.57 mm
Step-by-step solution
Parallel beam is deviated by prism by angle, aligned & =( -1) A=(1.5-1) 1.8^ =0.9^ & =0.9^ 180^ radian aligned This beam from prism is also parallel and is converged at a point in focal plane by concave mirror. Distance, aligned x & =F = R 2 = 20 2 0.9^ 180^ & =0.157 ~cm =1.57 ~mm aligned
