I don't understand - your second ls should work correctly if there exist files with the correct name pattern.

Is the /Applications directory just off the root directory? - that is what /Applications implies as written. If not try this
Code:
ls ./Applications/i*.app

or this
Code:
# this tells you where Applications really is:
find / -type d -name Applications
# cd to the  location result from the above command
ls i*.app
