101 Consider a convex lens of refractive index µ2placed in a medium of refractive index µ1 (< µ2)
[Fig 6 B.11] Let O be a point object, lying on the principal axis of the lens I1 is the image of
O formed by the spherical surface XP1Y Using the relation for refraction at a spherical surface,
where u is the distance of the object from C, v1 is the distance of the image I1 from C and R1 is
radius of curvature of the face XP1 Y.
Now we consider the refraction at face XP2 Y For this face, AB is the incident ray, which is refracted along BI Here I1 acts as a virtual object whose real image is formed at I In this case
the ray is passing from a denser to a rarer medium So we have

103 In the figure, a ray of light PQ strikes the refracting face AB of the prism at Q It is refracted
along QR QR is incident on the face AC and is refracted along RS PQ is the incident ray, and
RS is the emergent ray.
∠ RTK is called the angle of deviation, δ
∠ NQP = ∠ TQO = i and ∠ RQO = r1
∠ TQR = ∠ TQO – ∠ RQO = i – r1
Similarly ∠ TRQ = e – r2
δ = (i – r1) + (e – r2)
= (i – e) – (r1 + r2) (1)
Now ∠ A + ∠ QOR = 180º (2)
In ∆ QRO r1 + r2 + ∠ QOR = 180º (3)
From Eqs (2) and (3) ∠ A = r1 + r2 (4)
Let the prism be set in the position of minimum deviation, so that
δ = δm
Then r1 = r2 = r (say) and i = e

105 Angular dispersion for a pair of colours is the difference in the deviations suffered by those
two colours on passing through the prism If δV and δRare the deviations suffered by violet andred colours, then the angular dispersion for red and violet colours is ∆δ = δV– δR
Let µR and µVbe the refractive indices of the material of the prism for red and violet coloursrespectively Then for a small angled prism and for small angles of incidence, we have δV= (µV
– 1) A and
δR= (µR– 1) A, where A is the prism angle.
⇒ ∆δ = δV– δR= A (µV – µR)
106 Emission spectrum Spectrum of light emitted by luminous bodies is called emission
spec-trum Such spectra are of the following three types :
(i) Line spectrum A line spectrum consists of narrow bright lines separated by dark intervals.
Line spectra are emitted by substances in atomic state and are characteristic of the
sub-stances emitting them
(ii) Band Spectrum A band spectrum consists of a number of bright bands separated by dark
intervals Band spectra are emitted by substances in molecular state A band consists of a
large number of close lines
(iii) Continuous spectrum A continuous spectrum consists of an unbroken sequence of
wave-lengths (or colours) over a wide range Continuous spectra are emitted by solids, liquids andhighly compressed gases heated to high temperature A continuous spectrum is not charac-
teristic of the nature of the source but depends only on the temperature.

placed between the optical centre and the focus of a convex lens, its virtual and enlarged image
is formed The position of the object is so adjusted that the final image is formed at the least
distance of distinct vision D [See Fig 6 B 14].

object is called the objective and the other one, which is towards the eye, is called the eye piece.
