Find the luminous intensity of the sun if it produces the same illuminance on the earth as produced by a bulb of $10000 \, cd$ at a distance of $0.3 \, m$. The distance between the sun and the earth is $1.5 \times 10^{11} \, m$.

$A$ convex lens forms an image of an object on a screen. The height of the image is $9 \, cm$. The lens is now displaced until an image is again obtained on the screen. The height of this image is $4 \, cm$. The distance between the object and the screen is $90 \, cm$.

$A$ ray of light enters from air into water. Which of the following figures shows the dispersion of light?

$A$ reflecting surface is represented by the equation $y = \frac{2L}{\pi} \sin \left( \frac{\pi x}{L} \right)$,$0 \leq x \leq L$. $A$ ray travelling horizontally becomes vertical after reflection. The coordinates of the point$(s)$ where this ray is incident is?

Which of the following could not produce a virtual image?

Answer the following questions:
$(a)$ You have learnt that plane and convex mirrors produce virtual images of objects. Can they produce real images under some circumstances? Explain.
$(b)$ $A$ virtual image,we always say,cannot be caught on a screen. Yet when we 'see' a virtual image,we are obviously bringing it on to the 'screen' (i.e.,the retina) of our eye. Is there a contradiction?
$(c)$ $A$ diver under water,looks obliquely at a fisherman standing on the bank of a lake. Would the fisherman look taller or shorter to the diver than what he actually is?
$(d)$ Does the apparent depth of a tank of water change if viewed obliquely? If so,does the apparent depth increase or decrease?
$(e)$ The refractive index of diamond is much greater than that of ordinary glass. Is this fact of some use to a diamond cutter?
