1. Archer fish. An archerfish spits at insects from underwater. If an archerfish sees a grasshopper
on top of a leaf at an angle of elevation of 45 degree from its position, where should it aim in
order to be able to hit the grasshopper?
A. At an angle of elevation of 45 degree
B. At an angle of elevation less than 45 degree
C. At an angle of elevation greater than 45 degree
D. Either B or C depending on the index of refraction of the water
E. At the horizontal

For the next two numbers consider the situation shown in the figure, where a light ray is diffusely
reflected by a rough surface. The Angles are measured with respect to the bottom smooth surface.

2. Incident. What is the angle of incidence?

A. 0°
B. 30°
C. 45°
D. 60°
E. 90°

3. Reflect. What is the angle of reflection?

A. 0°
B. 30°
C. 45°
D. 60°
E. 90°

For the next two numbers consider the dispersion curves of different materials.
4. Prism. A prism is a device that separates the different colors of light
via dispersion. Which material will be the best material for a prism?
A. Silicate flint glass
B. Borate flint glass
C. Silicate crown glass
D. Fluorite
E. Any of the above

5. Lens. The focal length of a lens depends on the refractive index of a

lens. Chromatic aberration is a distortion of the image of a lens. This is
because different colors will be focused at different foci. Which material
should be used to minimize chromatic aberration?
A. Silicate flint glass
B. Borate flint glass
C. Silicate crown glass
D. Fluorite
E. Any of the above

6. Polar. In a polarization experiment, two polarizers were placed such that their axes are
perpendicular to each other (P1  0°, P2  90°). A third polarizer is then placed in between
them, what must be the orientation of the third polarizer so that a maximum intensity will be
transmitted?
A. 0°
B. 30°
C. 45°
D. 60°
E. 90°

7. Scattering. A gas scatters yellow light (it has yellow hue under white light), how will the gas
look like under blue light?
A. Yellow
B. Red
C. Green
D. Blue
E. Colorless

For the next three numbers, consider Chicken Little 8.0 cm high is placed 12.0 cm to the left of a
converging lens of focal length 8.0 cm. A second converging lens of focal length 6.0 cm is placed 36.0
cm to the right of the first lens.

8. First. Describe the first image.

A. Real, upright, magnified
B. Real, inverted, magnified
C. Real, upright, reduced
D. Virtual, upright, reduced
E. Virtual, inverted, reduced

9. Second. Describe the final image. (with respect to the original object)
A. Real, upright, magnified
B. Real, inverted, magnified
C. Real, upright, reduced
D. Virtual, upright, reduced
E. Virtual, inverted, reduced

10. Lens Faker. The Hubble space telescope is first ever space telescope. Originally, the entire
project had a very big problem. There designed the primary lens of the telescope for air. So when
they sent the telescope in space, the lens was out of focus. What can be said about the focus of
the Hubble telescope in space as compared to that in air?
A. f in air < f in space
B. f in air > f in space
C. f in air = f in space
D. Either A or B depending on the material used.
E. f in space = infinite
