When an object is placed at a distance of 25 cm from a mirror, the magnification is `m_(1)`. The object is moved 15cm farther away with respect to the earlier position, and the magnification becomes `m_(2)`. If `m_(1)//m_(2)=4` , then calculate the focal length of the mirror.

Answer» We know that `m=-(v)/(u)=(f)/(f-u)`
Here, `m_(1)=(f)/(f-(-25))=(f)/(f+25)` and
`m_(2)=(f)/(f-(-25-15))=(f)/(f+40)`
Since ` (m_(1))/(m_(2))=4, ` therefore `(f+40)/(f+25)=4`
`f+40=4f+100`
or `f=-20 cm`
The negative sign shows that the mirror is concave.

Answer» Correct Answer - d.
For lens `(1)/(f)=(1)/(v_(1))-(1)/(u_(1))`
`(u_(1))/(f)=(u_(1))/(v_(1))-1rArrm_(1)=(v_(1))/(u_(1))=(f)/(u_(1)+f)`
And `m_(2)=(f)/(u_(2)+f)`
`(1)/(m_(2))-(1)/(m_(1))=((u_(2)-mu_(1)))/(f) rArr f=((mu_(2)-mu_(1)))/((m_(2))^(-1)-(m_(1))^(-1))`

Find the lateral magnification produced by the combination of lenses shown in Figure.

Answer» If lenses are placed in contact, the focal length of single equivalent length can be given as
`(1)/(f)=(1)/(f_(1))+(1)/(f_(2))=(1)/(10)-(1)/(20)=(1)/(20)`
`rArr f=+20`
Now using lens formula considering system of lenses as a single lens, we get
`(1)/(v)-(1)/(u)=(1)/(f)`
`:. (1)/(v)=(1)/(-10)=(1)/(20)`
`(1)/(v)=(1)/(20)-(1)/(10)=(-1)/(20)rArrv=-20cm`
Now using magnification formula, we get
`m=(-20)/(-10)=2`

At `27^@C` two moles of an ideal monoatomic gas occupy a volume V. The gas expands adiabatically to a volume 2V. Calculate (i) the final temperature of the gas, (ii) change in its internal energy, and (iii) the work done by the gas during this process.

Answer» Correct Answer - (i) `189K (ii) -2767J (iii) 2767J`
(i) For adiabatic process `T_(1)V_(1)^(gamma -1) = T_(2)V_(2)^(gamma-1)`
`implies 300V^(5/3-1) = T_(2).(2V)^(5//3-1) implies T_(2) = 189K`
(ii) Change in internal energy `DeltaU = nC_(V)DeltaT = n(3)/(2)R(T_(2)-T_(1)) = 2 xx (3)/(2)xx 8.314 xx (189 - 300) = -2767J`
(iii) Work done by gas = `(P_(1)V_(1)-P_(2)V_(2))/(gamma-1) = (nR(T_(1) - T_(2)))/(gamma-1) = 2767J`

A concave convex figure lens made of glas `(mu=1.5)` has surface of radii 20 cm and 60 cm. a. Locate the image ofan object placed 80 cm to the left of the lens along the principal axis. B. A similar lens is placed coaxially at distanc of 160 cm right of it. Locate the position of the image.

Answer» The focal length of the lens is given by
`1/f=(mu-1)(1/R_1-1/R_2)`
`=(1.5-1)(1/(20cm)-1/(60 cm))=1/(60cm)`
or `f=60 cm
a. for the image formed by lens `u=-80` cm so that
`1/v=1/u+1/f`
`=1/(-80cm)+1/(60cm)=1/(240cm)`
or `v=240 cm`
The first image `I_1` would form 240 cm to the right of the first lens. b. The second lens intercepts the converging beam as suggest by the ure. the image `I_1` acts as a virtual source of the second lens. For the image formed by this lens `u=240cm-160cm=+80` cm so that
`1/v=1/u+1/f`
` =1/(80cm)+1/(60cm)=7/(240cm)`
or `v=34.3cm`
the fiN/Al image is formed 34.3 cm to the right of the second lens.

A compound microscope has an objective of focal length `2.0 cm` and an eye-piece of focal length `6.25cm` and distance between the objective and eye-piece is `15cm`. If the final image is formed at the least distance vision `(25 cm)`, the distance of the object form the objective is

Answer» Here, `f_(0) = 2.0 "cm", f_(e) = 6.25 "cm" , u_(0) = ?`
(a) ` v_(e)=-25 "cm" because (1)/(v_(e)) - (1)/(u_(e)) = (1)/(f_(e)) therefore (1)/(u_(e)) = (1)/(v_(e)) - (1)/(f_(e)) = (1)/(-25) - (1)/(6.25) = (-1-4)/(25) = (-5)/(25) implies u_(e) = -5"cm"`
As distance between objective and eye piece = `15"cm" , v_(0) = 15-5 = 10"cm"`
`because (1)/(v_(0)) - (1)/(u_(0)) = (1)/(f_(0)) implies (1)/(u_(0)) = (1)/(v_(0)) - (1)/(f_(0)) = (1)/(8.75) - (1)/(20) = (2-8.75)/(17.5) implies u_(0) = (-17.5)/(6.75) = -2.59"cm"`
Magnifying power = `(v_(0))/(|u_(0)|) xx [1 + (D)/(f_(e))] = (v_(0))/(|u_(0)|)xx (D)/(|u_(e)|) = (8.75)/(2.59)xx (25)/(6.25) = 13.51`

A convex lens forms an image of an object on a screen. The height of the image is 9 cm . The lens is now displaced until an image is again obtained on the screen. Then height of this image is 4 cm . The distance between the object and the screen is 90 cm.A. The distance between the two positions of the lens is 30 cmB. The distance of the object from the lens in its first position is 36 cmC. The height of the object is 6 cmD. The focal length of the lens is 21.6 cm

Answer» Correct Answer - A,D
Height of object = `sqrt(" H of image" xx H "of image "2) = sqrt(I_(1)I_(2)) = sqrt(9 xx4)`
Height of object = 6 cm
`m_(1) = (I_(1))/(O) = (v_(1))/(u) implies (9)/(6) = (v_(1))/(u_(1))`
`u_(2) = v_(1) = (3)/(2) v_(1) therefore X = (3)/(2)u_(1) - u_(1) = (u_(1))/(2) = X`
` D = 90 = u_(2) + u_(1) = (3)/(2) u_(1) + u_(1)`
`u_(1) = 36 implies X = (36)/(2) = 18`
`therefore` Distance between two position of lens = X = 18
Focal length `f = (D^(2) - V^(2))/(4D) = (90^(2) - 18^(2))/(4 xx 90) = 21.6 "cm"`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
For A
`u=-3m` `v_(1)=?,` `f=-1m`
`(1)/(u_(1))=(1)/(f)-(1)/(u)=(1)/(-1)-(1)/(-3)=(1)/(3)=1=-(2)/(3)`
or `v_(1)=-(3)/(2)`
For B
`(1)/(v_(2))=(1)/(-1)-(1)/(-5)` or `(1)/(v_(2))=(1)/(5)-1=-(4)/(5)`
or `v_(2)=-(5)/(4)m`
Now, `v_(1)-v_(2)=(3)/(2)-(-(5)/(4))`
`=-(3)/(2)+(5)/(4)=-(1)/(4)m=-0.25m`
Again,
`(I_(1))/(Q)=-(v_(1))/(u)`
or `I_(1)=-(v_(1))/(u)Q-((-3)/(2))((-1)/(3))=-1m`
Again `(I_(2))/(Q)=-(v_(2))/(u)`
or `I_(1)=(-(5)/(4))((1)/(-5))2= -0.5m`

A conveying lens of focal length 15 cm and a converging mirror of focal length 20 cm are placed with their principal axes coinciding. A point source S is placed on the principal axis at a distance of 12 cm from the lens as shown in figure. It is found that the final beam comes out parallel to the principal axis. Find the separation between the mirror and the lens.

Answer» Let us first locate the image of S formed byi the lens L. Here `u=-12cm and f=15 cm`. We have
`1/v-1/u=1/f`
`or 1/v=1/f+1/u`
`=1/(15cm)-1/(12cm)`
`or v=-60cm`
The negative sign shows that the image is formed to the left of the lens as suggeted in the ure. The image `I_1` acts as the source for the mirror. The mirror forms and image `I_2` of the source `I_1`. This image I_2 then acts as the source for the lens and the fiN/Al beam comes out parallel to the principal axis. Clearly `I_2` must be at the focus of the lens. We have
`I_1I_2=I_1L+L_2=60cm15cm=75cm`.
Suppose the distance of the mirror from `I_2` is x cm. For the reflection from the mirror.
`u=MI_1(=-(75+x)cm, v=-xcm =75cm`
Suppose the distance of the mirror from `I_2` is cm. For the reflection from the mirror.
`u=MI_1=-(75+x)cm,v=-xcm and f=-20cm`
Using `1/v+1/u=1/f`
`1/x+1/(75+x)=1/20`
`or (75+2x)/((75+x)x)=1/20`
`or x^2+35-1500=0`
or `x=(-35+-sqrt(35xx35+4x1500))/2`
This gives x=25 or -60.
As the negatives sign has no physical meaning only positive sigh should be taken. Taking `x=25` the separatioin between the lens and the mirror is `(15+25)cm=40cm.`

`=(1.5-1)(1/(10cm)-1/(20cm))`
`=0.5xx1/(20cm)=1/(40cm)`
`or f=40cm.`

`therefore` The graph of the above process on the `P-T` diagram is hyperbola.
For the above process
`((P_(2))/(rho))_(1) = ((P^(2))/(rho))_(2) implies (P_(2))/(rho) = (P_(2)^(2))/(rho//2) implies P_(2) = (P)/(sqrt(2)) .... (i)`
and
`P_(1)T_(1) = P_(2)T_(2) implies PT = (P)/(sqrt(2)) T_(2) implies T_(2) = sqrt(2) T .... (ii)`

Three identical rods of length 1 m each, having cross-sectional area of `1cm^2` each and made of aluminium, copper and steel, respectively, are maintained at temperatures of `12^@C`,`4^@C` and `50^@C`, respectively, at their separate ends. Find the teperature of their common junction. `[K_(Cu)=400 W//m-K,K_(Al)=200 W//m-K,K_("steel")=50 W//m-K]`

Answer» ` R_(Al) = (L)/(KA)=(1)/(200xx10^(-4)) = 10^(4)/200`
Similarly `R_(steel) = 10^(4)/50` and ` R_(copper)= (10^(4))/(400)`
Let temperature of common junction = `T`
then from Kirchoff,s current laws, `i_(Al) + i_(steel) +i_(Cu) =0`
` implies (T-12)/(R_(Al)) + (T-51)/R_(steel) + (T-4)/R_(Cu)=0`

A particle moves in a circular path of radius 5 cm in a plane perpendicular to the principla axis of a xonvex mirror with radius of curvature 20cm. The object is 15cm in front of the mirror. Calculate the radius of the circular path of the image.

Answer» `u=-15cm, f=(+20)/(2)=10cm`
`(1)/(-15)+(1)/(v)=(1)/(10)`
`(1)/(v)=(1)/(10)+(1)/(15)rArrv=6cm`
`m=-(v)/(u)=(h_(2))/(h_(1))`
`(-6)/(-15)=(h_(2))/(5)rArr h_(2)=2cm`
So, radius of circulart path of the image is 2 cm.

A concave lens with unequal radii of curvature made of glass `(mu_(g)=1.5)` has a focal length of 40cm. If it is immersed in a liquid of refractive index `mu_(1)=2`, thenA. it behaves like a convex lens of 80cm focal lengthB. it behaves like a convex lens of 20cm focal lengthC. its focal length becomes 60cmD. nothing can be said

Answer» Correct Answer - a.
`-(1)/(40)=(1.5-1)((1)/(R_(1))-(1)/(R_(2)))`
`(1)/(R_(1))-(1)/(R_(2))=-(1)/(20)`
Now, `(1)/(f)=((1.5)/(2)-1)(-(1)/(20))`
`=-(0.5)/(2)(-(1)/(20))`
`=(1)/(80)` or `f=80cm`
It behaves like a convex lens of focal length 80 cm.

A ray of light is incident at an angle of `60^@` on the face of a prism having refracting angle `30^@.` The ray emerging out of the prism makes an angle `30^@` with the incident ray. Show that the emergent ray is perpendicular to the face through which it emerges.A. Normal to the face through which it emergesB. Inclined at `30^(@)` to the face through which it emergesC. Inclined at `60^(@)` to the face through which it emergesD. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - A
We know that `delta=i+e-Aimplies e=delta+A-i`
`=30^(@)+30^(@)-60^(@)=0^(@)`
`:.` Emergent ray will be perpendicular to the face.
Therefore if will make an angle of `90^(@)` with the face through which it emerges.

In a certain spectrum produced by a glass prism od dispersive power `0.031`, it was found that `mu_(r ) = 1.645 and mu_(b) = 1.665`. What si the refractive index for yellow colour ?

Answer» Here, `omega = 0.031 , mu_(r) = 1.645 mu_(v)= 1.665, mu_(y) = ?`
`because omega=(mu_(v)-mu_(r))/(mu_(y)-1) = therefore mu_(y)-1 = (mu_(v) - mu_(r))/(omega) = (1.665-1.645)/(0.031) = (0.020)/(0.031) = 0.645 therefore mu_(y) = 0.645+1 = 1.645`

A real object is placed in front of a convex mirror (fixed).The object is moving toward the mirror. If `v_(0)` is the speed of object and `v_(i)` is the speed of image, thenA. `v_(i) lt v_(0)` alwaysB. `v_(i) gt v_(0)` alwaysC. `v_(i) gt v_(0)` initially and then `v_(0) gt v_(i)`D. `v_(i) lt v_(0)` initially and then `v_(i) gt v_(0)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
As object moves from infinity to the pole of convex mirror, image moves from focus to pole. So `v_(i) lt v_(0)` , always.

For a concave mirror of focal length f, image is 2 times larger. Then the object distance from the mirror can beA. `(f)/(2)`B. `(3f)/(2)`C. `(f)/(4)`D. `(4f)/(3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B
If image is virtual.
Then, Suppose `u=-x`, then `v=+2x`
From the mirror formula
`(1)/(u)+(1)/(v)=(1)/(f)` or`(1)/(2x)-(1)/(x)=(1)/(-f)` or `x=(f)/(2)`
If image is real, then suppose` u=-y, ` then `v=-2y`
Again applying the mirror formula,
`(1)/(-2y)-(1)/(y)=-(1)/(f)` or `(3)/(2y)=(1)/(f)rArr y=(3)/(2)f`

If in the previous example, we use a diverging lens with a focal length `10.0cm` to form an image of the pencile kept 15 cm in front of the lens, locate and characterize the image.

Answer» In accordance with cartesian sign convention, the given parameters are
`f=-10cm, u=-15cm`
From lens equation, we have
`=(1)/(v)-(1)/(f)+(1)/(u)`
` =(1)/((-10))+(1)/((-15))=-(1)/(6),v=-6cm`
Lateral magnification `m=(v)/(u)=(-6)/(-15)=0.40`
The minus sign with image shows that the image is located on the side of the object. The magnification is positive and `m lt 1` , which shows that the image is upright and diminished.
