1
Consider an equilateral prism of refractive index 1.5 and a parallelepiped block of refractive index 2.0 arranged as shown in the figure such that their adjacent faces are parallel. A light ray enters the prism from air at an angle of incidence such that the ray travels through the prism parallel to its base. What is the angle of emergence $\theta$ ?

The refractive indices $(n)$ of two transparent slabs are 2 and $2 / \sqrt{3}$. They are attached together and placed in a third transparent medium of refractive index $\sqrt{2}$, as shown in the figure. The thickness of the upper slab is $I \mathrm{~cm}$. A monochromatic light ray is incident on the upper slab at $45^{\circ}$. What would be the thickness in cm of the lower slab such that the lateral shift of the ray after passing through both the slabs is zero?

An object is placed in front of a convex lens. A real inverted image of double its size is formed. When the object is moved closer to the lens by a distance $d$, the image shifts away from the lens by a distance $8 d$ from its previous position. What is the magnitude of the magnification in the final setup?

A thin lens made of material of refractive index $n_l$ forms the image at the position $I$ of a point object held at $O$ on the central axis of the lens, as is shown in the ray diagram below. Consider that the refractive index of the medium is $n_m$ and $n_l>n_m$ for the figure given. Where does the image form when $n_l
