    1. (a) (2 points) Use Snell's law/Fermat's principle to determine the ray path (i.e.

    derive the:
    ray equation) in an inhomogeneous medium assuming the refractive index n(z) to be a
    function of a spatial coordinate in the vertical direction (say). Write down all the
    assumptions clearly.
    the solution of
    (b) (3 points) If n() = no + 6 where no aud &are constants, what will be
    the ray cequation? Mention the initial conditions clearly for solving the ray equation.
    n, thick
    2. (a) (6 points) Obtain the system matrix for a thick biconvex lens of refractive index
    lens . The
    ness t, and the magnitude of the radii of curvature of the two surfaces of the
    lens is kept in air. Show each step clearly and derive the erpressions foT Tefraction and
    translation matrices.
    under
    (b) (3 points) Can you get the thin lens system matrix from the above calculation
    certain approximations? If so, determine the thin lens system matrix and the thin lens
    equation from the above system matrix derived in (a).
    (c) (3 points) Explain what is meant by cardinal points in context of a thick lens. Clearly
    draw ray diagrams to explain your answer.
    (d) (3 points) Find the cardinal points of a transparent glass sphere with refractive index
    n =1.5 of radius 1 cm placed in air. Where will sunlight be focussed in such a sphere?
    Indicate the locations of all the cardinal points in a diagram.
    3. (a) (5 points) A collimated light beam is incident at an aperture of 25 mm on the plane side
    of a plano-convex lens of index 1.5, and radius of curvature 40 mm. The beam is parallel
    tothe optic axis. Find the spherical wave aberation and the longitudinal and transverse
    spherical ray aberrations.
    (b) (3 points) An achromatic converging combination of focal length 60 cm is formed with a
    convex lens of crown glass and a concave lens of flint glass placed in contact with each
    other. Caleulate their focal lengths, if the dispersive power of crown glass is 0.03 and that
    of flint glass is 0.05.
    4. (2 points) Two plane waves of the same frequency and with vibrations in the z-direction are
    given by

    (z,t) = (4 cm) cos 3cm S

    20
    ý(u, t) (2cm) cos 4Cm S ).
    here cm, cm -1 and sl in the above equations represent the units of the amplitude, wave
    vector and angular froquency respectively. Write down the resultant wave from expressing
    their superposition at the point z=5 cm, y= 2cm.
