1.	The figure shows two thin rods , one made of aluminium `[alpha = 23 xx 10^(-6) (C^(@))^(-1)]` and the other of steel `[alpha = 12 xx 10^(-6) (C^(@))^(-1)]`. Each rod has the same length and the same initial temperature . They are attached at one end to two separate immovable walls. Temperature of both the rods is increased by the same amount , until the gap between the rods vanishes . Where do the rods meet the gap vanishes? A. The rods meet exactly at the midpoint.B. The rods meet to the right of the midpoint.C. The rods meet to the left of the midpoint .D. Information insufficient
Answer» Correct Answer - B As `alpha_(At) gt alpha_("steel")` so expansion in aluminum rod is greater .

A large transparent cube (refractive index = 1.5) has a small air bubble inside it. When a coin (diameter 2 cm) is placed symmetrically above the bubble on the top surface of the cube, the bubble cannot be seen by looking down into the cube at any angle. However, when a smaller coin (diameter 1.5 cm) is placed directly over it, the bubble can be seen by looking down into the cube. What is the range of the possible depths d of the air bubble beneath the top surface ?
