A body of mass m is placed over a smooth inclined plane of inclination `theta`, which is placed over a lift which is moving up with an acceleration `a_(0)` . Base length of the inclined plane is L. Calculate the velocity of the block with respect to lift at the bottom, if it is allowed to slide down from the top of the plane from rest :-A. `sqrt(2(a_(0)+g)Lsin theta)`B. `sqrt(2(a_(0)+g)L cos theta)`C. `sqrt(2(a_(0)+g)L tan theta)`D. `sqrt(2(a_(0)+g)L cot theta)`

An initially parallel cylindrical beam travels in a medium of refractive index, µ(I) = µ0 + µ2I, where µ0 and µ2are positive constants and I is intensity of light beam. The intensity of the beam is decreasing with increasing radius. (i). As the beam enters the medium, it will : (a) Converge (b) Diverge near the axis and converge near the periphery.(c) Travel as a cylindrical beam (d) Diverge. (ii). The speed of light in the medium is : (a) The same everywhere in the beam (b) Directly proportional to the intensity I (c) Maximum on the axis of the beam (d) Minimum on the axis of the beam.(iii). The initial shape of the wave-front of the beam is: (a) Concave (b) Convex near the axis and concave near the periphery (c) Planar (d) Convex

Answer»

As the medium is denser W.R.T. vacuum, therefore, on entering the medium, it will converge. 

(2). Option : (d) 

The speed of light in the medium is minimum on the axis of the beam, because refractive index of medium is maximum at the axis of the beam.

(3). Option : (c) 

The initial shape of the wavefront of the beam is planar, as the wave-front lies in the plane of the beam.

The image of a candle flame placed at a distance of 45 cm from a spherical lens is formed on a screen placed at a distance of 90 cm. from the lens identify the type of the lens and calculate the focal length.

Answer»

Here u = -45 cm, v = +90 cm

\(\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}\) = \(\frac{1}{90}-\frac{1}{-45}\) = \(\frac{1}{90}+\frac{1}{45}\) = \(\frac{1+2}{90}\) = \(\frac{3}{90}\) = \(\frac{1}{30}\)

∴ f = +30 cm

As f is positive, the lens used is convex lens with focal length 30 cm.

f is a continous function in `[a, b]`; g is a continuous function in [b,c]. A function h(x) is defined as `h(x)=f(x) for x in [a,b) , g(x) for x in (b,c]` if f(b) =g(b) thenA. `h(b^(+))=g(b^(-))` and `h(b^(-))=f(b^(+))`B. `h^(b^(-))=g(b^(+))` and `h(b^(+))=f(b^(-))`C. `h(x)` can be made continuous at `x=b` by by defining it at the point `x=b`D. `f(a)=g(c)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B::C
`h(x)` is continous in `[a,b)cup(b,c]`
`becauseh(b^(-))=f(b^(+))` are undefined
`h(b^(-))=f(b^(-))=f(b)=g(b)=g(b^(+))`
and `h(b^(+))=g(b^(+))=g(b)=f(b)=f(b^(-))`
Hence `h(b^(-))=h(b^(+))=f(b)=g(b)`
Thus, `h(x)` has removable discontinuity at `x=b`
