During a cloudy day,a primary and a secondary rainbow may be created,then the:

  • A
    primary rainbow is due to double internal reflection and is formed above the secondary one.
  • B
    primary rainbow is due to double internal reflection and is formed below the secondary one.
  • C
    secondary rainbow is due to double internal reflection and is formed above the primary one.
  • D
    secondary rainbow is due to single internal reflection and is formed above the primary one.

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?

$A$ right-angled prism of refractive index $\mu_1$ is placed in a rectangular block of refractive index $\mu_2$,which is surrounded by a medium of refractive index $\mu_3$,as shown in the figure. $A$ ray of light 'e' enters the rectangular block at normal incidence. Depending upon the relationships between $\mu_1, \mu_2$ and $\mu_3$,it takes one of the four possible paths '$ef$','$eg$','$eh$' or '$ei$'. Match the paths in List-$I$ with conditions of refractive indices in List-$II$ and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists:
List-$I$ List-$II$
$P$. $e \rightarrow f$ $1$. $\mu_1 > \sqrt{2} \mu_2$
$Q$. $e \rightarrow g$ $2$. $\mu_2 > \mu_1$ and $\mu_2 > \mu_3$
$R$. $e \rightarrow h$ $3$. $\mu_1 = \mu_2$
$S$. $e \rightarrow i$ $4$. $\mu_2 < \mu_1 < \sqrt{2} \mu_2$ and $\mu_2 > \mu_3$

Codes: $P \quad Q \quad R \quad S$
