A beam of light composed of red and green rays is incident obliquely at a point on the face of a rectangular glass slab. When coming out on the opposite parallel face, the red and green rays emerge from
two points propagating in two different non-parallel directions
two points propagating in two different parallel directions
one point propagating in two different directions
one point propagating the same direction
A beam of monochromatic light is refracted from vacuum into a medium of refractive index 1.5. The wavelength of refracted light will be
dependent on intensity of refracted light

A telescope has an objective lens of 10cm diameter and is situated at a distance of one kilometre from two objects. The minimum distance between these two objects, which can be resolved by the telescope, when the mean wavelength of light is 5000 Å, is of the order of
0.5 m

A microscope is focussed on a mark on a piece of paper and then a slab of glass of thickness 3cm and refractive index 1.5 is placed over the mark. How should the microscope be moved to get the mark in focus again?
