Most Expected NEET Questions (with Solutions)

QuestionConceptAnswer (Brief)
1. State mirror formula and its sign convention.Concave/convex mirror\( \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u} \); distances measured from pole.
2. Derive critical angle for TIR.Total internal reflection\( \sin i_c = \frac{n_2}{n_1} \) where \( n_1>n_2 \).
3. What is the focal length of a double convex lens with R₁=20cm, R₂=30cm, n=1.5?Lens Maker’s Formula\( \frac{1}{f}=(n-1)(\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}) \Rightarrow f=12cm \).

Quick Quiz (2 Questions) + Answers

Answer: In TIR, reflection occurs within the denser medium when \( i>i_c \); in reflection, light bounces off a surface interface.

Answer: \( m = 1 + \frac{D}{f} \), where D = least distance of distinct vision (25 cm).
