To ensure almost 100 per cent transmittivity, photographic lenses are often coated with a thin layer of dielectric material. The refractive index of this material is intermediated between that of air and glass (which makes the optical element of the lens). A typically used dielectric film is MgF2 (n = 1.38). What should the thickness of the film be so that at the center of the visible speetrum (5500 A o ) there is maximum transmission.
(i) A ray PQ of light is incident on the face AB of a glass prism ABC (as shown in the figure) and emerges out of the face AC. Trace the path of the ray. Show that `/_i+/_e=/_A+/_delta` where, `delta` and e denote the angle of deviation and angle of emergence respectively. Plot a graph showing the variation of the angle of deviation as a function of angle of incidence. State the condition under which `/_delta` is minimum. (ii) Find out the relation between the refractive index `(mu)` of the glass prism and `/_A` for the case, when the angle
