 (a) A point-object is placed on the principal axis of a convex spherical
surface of radius of curvature R, which separates the two media of
refractive indices n1 and n2 (n2 > n1). Draw the ray diagram and
deduce the relation between the distance of the object (u), distance
of the image (v) and the radius of curvature (R) for refraction to
take place at the convex spherical surface from rarer to denser
medium.

(b) Use the above relation to obtain the condition on the position of the
object and the radius of curvature in terms of n1 and n2 when the
real image is formed.
OR

(a) Draw a labelled ray diagram showing the formation of image by a

compound microscope in normal adjustment. Derive the expression

(b) How does the resolving power of a microscope change when

(i) the diameter of the objective lens is decreased,
(ii) the wavelength of the incident light is increased ?
Justify your answer in each case.

(a) State Gauss’s law in electrostatics. Show, with the help of a

suitable example along with the figure, that the outward flux due
to a point charge ‘q’, in vacuum within a closed surface, is
independent of its size or shape and is given by q/o .

have charge densities +  and – 2  respectively. Give the
magnitude and direction of the net electric field at a point
(i) in between the two sheets and
(ii) outside near the sheet ‘1’.

OR

(a) Define electrostatic potential at a point. Write its S.I. unit.
