A particle goes in a circle of radius 2.0 cm. A concave mirror of focal length 20 cm is placed with its principal axis passing through the centre of the circle and perpendicular to its plane. The distance between the pole of the mirror and the centre of the circle is 30 cm. Calculate the radius of the circle formed by the image.

Answer» Correct Answer - C::D
u = -30 cm,
f= -20 cm
We know, `(1)/(upsilon) +(1)/(upsilon) = (1)/(f)`
`rArr = (1)/(upsilon) + -(1)/(30) =-(1)/(20)`
`rArr (1)/(upsilon) = (1)/(30) - (1)/(20) = (1)/(60)`
`rArr upsilon = 60cm`
Image of the circle is formed at a distance 60 cm in front of the mirror.
`:. m = -(upsilon)/(u) = (R_(image))/(R_(object))`
`rArr - ((-60))/((-30)upsilon) = (R_(image))/(2)`
`rArr R_(image) = 4 cm`
Radius of image of the circle is 4 cm.

Photograph of the ground are taken form an air-craft ,flying at an altitude of 2000 m by a camera with a lens of focal length `50 cm`. The size of the film in the camera is `18xx18cm`.What area of the ground can be photography by this camera at any one time.

Answer» As here `u =-2000"m" "f", =0.50 "m"` , so from lens formula `(1)/(v) - (1)/(u) = (1)/(f)`,
we have `(1)/(v) - (1)/((-2000)) = (1)/(0.5) implies (1)/(v) = (1)/(0.5) - (1)/(2000)~=(1)/(0.5) ["as" (1)/(0.5)gt gt(1)/(2000)] implies v=0.5"m" = 50"cm" = f`
Now as in case of a lens , `m = (v)/(u) = (0.5)/(-2000) = -(1)/(4)xx 10^(-3)` So `I_(1)` = (ma)(mb) = `m^(2)A` `[because A= "ab"]`
`A = (I_(1))/(m^(2)) = (18"cm" xx 18"cm")/([(1//4) xx 10^(-3)]^(2)) = (720"m" xx 720"m")`

Light guidance in an optical fiber can be understood by considering a structure comprising of thin solid glass cylinder of refractive index `n_(1)` surrounded by a medium of lower refractive index `n_(2)` . The light guidance in the structure takes place due to successive total internal reflections at the interface of the media `n_(1)` and `n_(2)` as shown in the figure . all rays with the angle of incidence i less than a particular value of `i_(m)` are confined in the medium of refractive index `n_(1)` . The numerical aperture (NA) of the structure is defined as `"sin"i_(m)` ` For two structures namely `S_(1)` with `n_(1) = sqrt(45) //4 "and" n_(2) = 3//2 , "and" S_(2)` with `n_(1) = 8//5 "and" n_(2) = 7//5` and taking the refractive index of water to be 4/3 and that of air to be 1 , the correct option (s) is (are)A. NA of `S_(1)` immersed in water is the same as that of `S_(2)` immersed in liquid of refractive index `(4)/(sqrt(5))`B. NA of `S_(1)` immersed in liquid of refractive index `(6)/(sqrt(5))` is the same as that of `S_(2)` immersed in water.C. NA of `S_(1)` placed in air is the same as that of `S_(2)` immersed in liquid of refractive index `(4)/(sqrt(15))`D. NA of `S_(1)` placed in air is the same as that of `S_(2)` placed in water .

Answer» Correct Answer - A,C
Let the whole structure is placed in a medium of refractive index n , then
n sini = `n_(1) "sin"(90- theta)`
` " n sini" = n_(1) "cos" theta …..(i)`
Here for `i_(m) , theta = C "and " "sin" C = (n_(2))/(n_(1))`
from eq. (i) ,
`n"sin"i_(m) = n_(1) sqrt((1 - n_(0)^(2))/(n_(1)^(2))) = sqrt(n_(1)^(2) - n_(2)^(2))`
`implies "sin"i_(m) = sqrt(n_(1)^(2) - n_(2)^(2))/(n)`
Now , for (A)
`(NA)_(s_(1)) = (3)/(4)sqrt((45)/(16) - (9)/(4)) = (3)/(4) xx (3)/(4) = (9)/(16)`
`(NA)_(s_(2)) = (3sqrt(15))/(16) sqrt(64)/(25) - (49)/(25)) = (3sqrt(15))/(16) (1)/(5)sqrt(15) = (9)/(16)`
For (B)
`(NA)_(s_(1)) = sqrt(15)/(6) xx (3)/(4) = sqrt((15))/(8)`
`(NA)_(s_(2)) = (3)/(4) = sqrt(15)/(5)` Not equal
For (C) `" " (NA)_(s_(1)) = 1 xx (3)/(4) = (3)/(4)`
`(NA)_(s_(2)) = sqrt(15)/(4) xx sqrt((15))/(5) = (15)/(4 xx 5) = (3)/(4)`
For (D) `" " (NA)_(s_(1)) = (3)/(4)`
`(NA)_(s_(2)) = (3)/(4) sqrt(15)/(5)` Not equal

The image produced by a concave mirror is one-quarter the size of object. If the object is moved 5cm closer to the mirror, the image will only be half the size of the object. The focal length of mirror isA. `f=5.0cm`B. `f=2.5cm`C. `f=7.5cm`D. `f=10cm`

Answer» Correct Answer - b.
In first case, if object distance is x, mage distance`=x//4` . While it is `2^(nd)` case, object distance becomes`(x-5cm)` and image distance `(x-5cm)//2`. Using mirror formula, we get
In first case, `(1)/(f)=-(5)/(x)`
In second case, `(1)/(f)=-(3)/((x-5))`
Solving we get, `x=12.5cm` and `f=2.5cm` and hence `|f|=2.5cm`

An ideal gas is heated from termperature `T_(1)` to `T_(2)` under various conditions. The correct statements(s) is/are:-A. `DeltaU = nC_(V)(T_(2)-T_(1))` for isobaric , isochoric and adiabatic processB. Work is done at expense of internal energy in an adiabatic process and both have equal valuesC. `DeltaU = ` for an isothermal processD. `C=0` for an adiabatic process

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C::D
For any process `DeltaU = nC_(V)DeltaT`
In adiabatic process
`Q = DeltaU + W = 0 implies DeltaU = -W`
For any process
`C=(DeltaU)/(nDeltaT) + (W)/(nDeltaT) = (Q)/(nDelta) = (DeltaU)/(nDeltaT) +(P)/(n)((DeltaV)/(DeltaT))`
For `Q = 0 ,C=0` (adibatic process)

A ray of light is incident upon an air/water interface ( it passes from air into water) at an angle of `45^(@)` . Which of the following quantities change as the light enters the water? (I) wavelength `" "` (II) frequency `" "` (III) speed of propagation (IV) direction of propagationA. I , III onlyB. III, IV onlyC. I , II ,IV onlyD. I , III , IV only

Answer» Correct Answer - D
As Speed of light in vaccum/air
`mu` = Speed of light if medium
`mu = (c)/(v) implies ` velocity is different in different medium From v= n`lambda`
But frequency is the fundamental property . It never change by changing the medium hence `lambda` is also changed as v is change.

Look at the ray diagram shown ,what will be th focal length of th e`1^(st)`and the `2^(nd)`lens,if the incident light ray passes without any deviation?

Answer» Correct Answer - C
From figure `1^(st)` behave as diverging and `2^(nd)` behave converging
In `1st` incident ray appear to pass at 5 cm distance point and after refraction it becomes parallel to principal axis i.e. the focal length = -5cm and for second f=5 cm

A man of height H is standing in front of an inclined plane mirror at an angle `theta` from horizontal. The vertical separation between man and inclined plane is x. Man can see its complete image in length `(H(H+x)"sin"theta)/(H +2x)` of mirror . (Given : x = H = 1m and `theta = 45^(@)`) If man starts moving with velocity `sqrt(2)ms^(-1)` along inclined plane, find out length of mirror at t = 1s in which he can see his complete image,A. `(sqrt(2))/(3)m`B. `(2)/(3)`C. `(1)/(3)m`D. `(1)/(3sqrt(2))m`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
In this case x, H and `theta` remains same so required length of mirror = `(H(H+x)"sin"theta")/(H + 2x)`
=`(1(1+1)"sin"45^(@))/(1 + 2 xx1) = (sqrt(2))/(3)m`
