SECTION A.-GEOMETRICAL OPTICS.

1. Explain the distinction between real and virtual images. A luminous point is placed between two plane mirrors inclined to each other at an angle of 30°. Find the total number of images formed by successive reflexions, and show that this number does not vary as the point moves about between the mirrors.

2. Parallel rays are incident on a reflecting semicircular mirror, and in its plane. Show that the caustic curve is the locus of a point on the circumference of a circle which touches the reflecting circle and rolls upon a concentric circle of half its diameter.

3. Prove that if a ray of light be refracted successively through any number of media bounded by parallel plane surfaces, its direction in any medium will have undergone the same deviation as if the ray had been refracted directly into that medium.

4. Prove that the focal length of a refracting sphere = 2(1 - μ)' where r is the radius of the sphere and μ the refractive index of its substance.

5. What is meant by the dispersive power of a body? Show that a convex and a concave lens, both being supposed very thin, will form an achromatic combination when their dispersive powers are proportional to their focal lengths.

SECTION B.-ASTRONOMY.

6. Explain what is meant by the equation of time; and state clearly the two causes to which it is due. Show that its numerical amount at any instant is the value, expressed in time, of the angle between the declination circles of the true and the mean sun at that instant.

7. If the right ascension of a star be equal to its latitude, prove that its declination must be equal to its longitude.

8. Show that the magnitude and character of a solar eclipse must vary with the position of an observer on the earth's surface. Explain clearly the form of solar eclipse which is visible at a station where the distance between the centres of the sun and moon is seen to be just equal to the difference of their apparent semi-diameters.

9. Show that the apparent area of the illuminated disc of the moon varies as the versed sine of the supplement of its elongation with regard to the earth.

10. Prove that two planets appear stationary, as seen from one another, when the sum of the products formed by multiplying the angular velocity of each into the cosine of its angle of elongation vanishes. (The planets are supposed to be moving in the same plane, and in circular orbits.)
