Physical Optics
Two thin lenses of focal lengths \( f_1 \) and \( f_2 \) are placed in contact. The combined focal length \( F \) is given by:
A) \( F = f_1 + f_2 \)
B) \( F = f_1 - f_2 \)
C) \( \frac{1}{F} = \frac{1}{f_1} + \frac{1}{f_2} \)
D) \( F = \frac{f_1 f_2}{f_1 + f_2} \)
Spherical aberration in a lens can be reduced by:
A) Using a combination of lenses
B) Using monochromatic light
C) Using a diaphragm
D) Both A and C
Chromatic aberration occurs because the focal length of a lens depends on the:
A) Thickness of the lens
B) Diameter of the lens
C) Refractive index of the lens material
D) Wavelength of light
An achromatic doublet is designed to correct for:
A) Spherical aberration
B) Chromatic aberration
C) Coma
D) Astigmatism
The minimum distance between an object and its real image formed by a convex lens is:
A) \( f \)
B) \( 2f \)
C) \( 4f \)
D) Zero
For a simple microscope (magnifying glass), the angular magnification is maximum when the image is formed at the:
A) Near point
B) Far point
C) Center of curvature
D) Focal point
The phenomenon of interference is based on
A) Conservation of energy
B) Conservation of momentum
C) Wave nature of light
D) Particle nature of light
