Two spherical concave mirrors of equal focal length are put against each other with their reflecting surfaces facing each other. The upper mirror has an opening at its centre. A small object (O) is kept at the bottom of the cavity so formed (see Figure). The top mirror produces a virtual image of the object and the lower mirror then creates a real image of the virtual image. The second image is created just outside the cavity mouth.

A mirror of radius of curvature 20cm and an object which is placed at a distance of 15cm are both moving with velocities `1ms^(-1)` and `10ms^(-1)` as shown in Fig. Fing the velocity of image at this situation.

Answer» Using `1/v+1/u=2/R,` we get
`1/v-1/(15)=-1/(10)rArr v=-30cm`
Now, using `V_(im) = -(v^(2))/(u^(2))V_(OM)`
`(V_(i)-v_(m))=-(v^(2))/(u^(2))(V_(o)-V_(m))`
`rArr V_(i)-(1)=-((-30)^(2))/((-15)^(2))[(-10)-(1)]`
`rArr V_(i)=45cm s^(-1)`
So, the image will move with veloxity `45 cms^(-1)`.

Then
`(1)/(f_(1))=((mu_(1))/(mu_(w))-1)((1)/(R)+(1)/(R))=((mu_(1))/(mu_(w))-1)((2)/(R))` (i)
`(1)/(f_(2))=((mu_(2))/(mu_(w))-1)(-(1)/(R)-(1)/(R))=((mu_(2))/(mu_(w))-1)((-2)/(R))` (ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get `(1)/(f_(1))+(1)/(f_(2))=(2(mu_(1)-mu_(2)))/(mu_(w)R)`
or `(1)/(30)=(2(mu_(1)-mu_(2)))/(mu_(W)R)`
`:. (mu_(1)-mu_(2))=(mu_(w)R)/(60)`
Substituting the values,
`(mu_(1)-mu_(2))=(4xx15)/(3xx60)=(1)/(3)`

In an isosceles prism of angle `45^@`, it is found that when the angle of incidence is same as the prism angle, the emergen ray grazes the emergent surface. Find the refractive index of the material of the prism. For what angle of incidenc, the angle of deviation will be minimum?

Answer» As the ray of light grazes the second surface, `r_(2)` is the critical angle.
`sinr_(2)=(1)/(mu)`
`r_(2)=(45^@-r_(1))`
`sinr_(1)=(sin45^@)/(mu)=(1)/(sqrt(2)mu)`
`sinr_(2)=sin(45^@-r_(1))`
`=(1)/(sqrt(2))[cosr_(1)-sinr_(1)]`
`(1)/(mu)=(1)/(sqrt(2))[sqrt(1-(1)/(2mu^(2)))-(1)/(sqrt(2)mu)]`
`(1)/(mu)=(1)/(sqrt(2))[sqrt(2mu^(2)-1)/(sqrt(2)mu)-(1)/(sqrt(2)mu)]`
`2=sqrt(2mu^(2)-1)-1`
`2mu^(2)-1=9`
`2mu^(2)=10`
`rArr mu^(2)=5` or `mu=sqrt(5)`
At minimum deviation,
`r_(1)=r_(2)(45^(@))/(2)=22.5^(@)`
`mu=(sini_(1))/(sinr_(1))rArrsini_(1)=(sqrt(5))sin(22.5^(@))`

From `sin((A+delta_(m))/(2))=mu "sin"(A)/(2)`
`sin((A+delta_(m))/(2))=("cos"(A)/(2))/("sin"(A)/(2))xx"sin"(A)/(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
The refractive index of the material of the prism
`mu=(sin .(A+delta_(m))/(2))/(sin .(A)/(2))`
`impliescot.(A)/(2)=((sin(A+delta_(m)))/(2))/(sin .(A)/(2))`
`sin((A+delta_(m))/(2))=cot.(A)/(2)sin .(A)/(2)`
`sin ((A+delta_(m))/(2))=(cos.(A)/(2))/(sin .(A)/(2))sin .(A)/(2)`
`sin ((A+delta_(m))/(2))=sin ((pi)/(2)-(A)/(2))`
`implies(A+delta_(m))/(2)=(pi)/(2)-(A)/(2)`
`A+delta_(m)=pi -Aimpliesdelta_(m)=180-2A`

A prism is made of glass of refractive index 1.5. If the angle of minimum deviation is equal to the refracting angle of the prism, calculate the angle of the prism.

Answer» Given, `mu=1.5 ` and `A=delta_(m i n)`
At minimum deviation,
`r=A//2` and `delta_(min)=2i-A`
Substituting for A, we get `i=delta_(min)`
But `mu=(sin((delta_(m)+A)/(2)))/(sin((A)/(2)))=(sinA)/(sin[(A)/(2)])=2cos[(A)/(2)]`
Therefor, `1.5=2cos[(A)/(2)]` or `A =cos^(-1)((3)/(4))`

If both the assertion and reason are true but reason does not explain the assertion.C. If assertion is true but reason is false.D. If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer» Correct Answer - D
If a mirrorr is placed in a medium other than air, its focal length does not change as `f=R//2`. But for the lens
`(1)/(f_(a))=(._(a)n^(g)-1)((1)/(R_(1))-(1)/(R_(2)))`
and `(1)/(f_(w))=(._(w)n^(g)-1)((1)/(R_(1))-(1)/(R_(2)))`
As `._(w)n^(g)lt ._(a)n^(g)` , hence focal length of lens in water increases.
The refractive index of water `4//3` and that of air is 1. Hence, `mu_(w)gtmu_(a)`

One mole of a monatomic ideal gas is taken along two cyclic processes `E to F to G to E and E to F to H to E` as shown in the PV diagram. The processes involved are purely isochoric , isobaric , isothermal or adiabatic . Match the paths in List I with the magnitudes of the work done in List II and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists. A. `{:(P,Q,R,S),(4,3,2,1):}`B. `{:(P,Q,R,S),(4,3,1,2):}`C. `{:(P,Q,R,S),(3,1,2,4):}`D. `{:(P,Q,R,S),(3,1,2,4):}`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Process `FG` is isothermal so work done =`nRT "In"((P_(t))/(P_(f))) = 32 P_(0)V_(0) "In" ((32P_(0))/(P_(0)))= 160 P_(0)V_(0) "In"2`.
Process `GE` is isobaric
So work done = `P|DeltaV| = P_(0)|(V_(G)- V_(E))|`
=`P_(0)|(32V_(0) - V_(0))|`
=`31P_(0)V_(0)`
Process `FH` is adiabatic so `(32P_(0))V_(0)^(5//3) = (P_(0))V_(H)^(5//3) implies V_(H) = 8V_(0)`
Since process `FH` is adiabatic so `|((P_(H)V_(H) - P_(F)V_(F)))/((8-1))|= (|(P_(0)8V_(0))-32P_(0)V_(0)|)/(((5)/(3)-1))=36P_(0)V_(0)`
Process `G rarr H` is isobaric so work done =`P_(0)|(32V_(0)- 8V_(0))| = 24 P_(0)V_(0)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`U = U_(1) + U_(2) implies (n_(1) + n_(2)) C_(V)T = n_(1)C_(V)T_(1)+ n_(2)C_(V)T_(2)`

Two thin lenses of focal length `f_(1)` and `f_(2)` are in contact and coaxial. The power of the combination isA. `sqrt((f_(1))/(f_(2)))`B. `sqrt((f_(2))/(f_(1)))`C. `(f_(1)+f_(2))/(f_(1)f_(2))`D. `(f_(1)+f_(2))/(f_(1)f_(2))`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
If two thin lenses of focal lengths` f_(1)` and `f_(2)` are placed in contact coaxially, then equivalent focal length of combination is
`(1)/(F)=(1)/(f_(1)) + (1)/(f_(2))+(0)/(f_(1)f_(2))=(1)/(f_(1))+(1)/(f_(2))`
Power for the combination is
`P=(1)/(F)=(1)/(f_(1))+(1)/(f_(2))=(f_(1)+f_(2))/(f_(1)f_(2))`

Process `J rarr K` (isochoric) : `W= 0 , DeltaU lt 0 implies Q lt 0 `
Process `K rarr L` (isochoric) : `Wgt 0 , DeltaU gt 0 implies Q gt 0 `
Process `L rarr M` (isochoric) : `W= 0 , DeltaU gt 0 implies Q gt 0 `
Process `M rarr J` (isochoric) : `Wlt 0 , DeltaU lt 0 implies Q lt 0 `

Column I gives some devices and Column II gives some processes on which the functioning of these devices depend. Match the devices in Column I with the processes in Column II and indicate your answer by darkening appropriate bubbles in the `4 xx 4 ` matrix given in the ORS.

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C::D
(A) Bimetallic strip : Works on the thermal expansions of solids (different solids expands by different length for the same rise of temperature). The energy is converted to kinetic energy.
(B) Steam engine Energy is converted (heat - mechanical)
(C) Electric fuse Works on melting of fuse wire on heating.

When a system is taken from state i to state f along the path iaf, it is found that `Q=50 cal and W=20 cal`. Along the path ibf `Q=36cal`. W along the path ibf is A. `6` calB. `16` calC. `66` calD. `14` cal

Answer» Correct Answer - A
As a thermodynamic system is taken from state to state f, then the internal energy of the system remains the same irrespective of the path followed `(Q-W)_(faf) = (Q-W)_(lbf) implies 50 -20 = 36 W implies W = 6` cal

Two thin similar watch glass pieces are joined together,front to front ,with near convex portion silvered and the combination of glass pieces is placed at a distance `a=60cm` from a screen.A small object is placed normal to the optical axis of the combination such that its image is two time the object. Now water is filled in between the glass. water`mu=4//3`,calculated the distance through,which the object must be displayed so that a sharp image is again formed on the screen.

Answer» Correct Answer - 15 cm towards the combination

In the figure shown, find the relative speed of a approach/ separation of the two final images formed after the light rays pass through the lens, at the moment when u = 30 cm . The speed of object = 4 cm/s . The two lens halves are placed symmetrically w.r.t. the moving object

Answer» Correct Answer - `((8)/(5)) cm//s`
`(I)/(0) = m = (v)/(u) = (f)/(f+u) , "rel" (2dI)/(dt) = [-(f_(0))/((f+u)^(2)) (du)/(dt)] xx 2`
=`(-40 xx(1)/(2))/(10 xx 10) xx 4 xx 2 = (-8)/(5)"cm"//"sec"`

For a small angled prism, angle of prism `A` of minimum deviation`(delta)` varies with the refractive index of the prism as shown in the graph A. Point `P` corresponds to `m=1`B. Slope of the line `PQ=A//2`C. Slope `=2A`D. None of the above statements is true

Answer» Correct Answer - A
At `P,delta=0=A(mu-1)impliesmu=1`
Also `delta_(m)=(mu-1)A=Amu_(m)-A`
Comparing it with `y=mx+c`
Slope of the line `=m=A`
It mean that medium 2 is denser medium. So total internal reflection cannot occur.

The graph between angle of deviation `(delta)` and angle of incidence (i) for a triangular prism is represented byA. B. C. D.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
For a prism, as the angle of incidence increases, the angle of deviation first decreases, goes to a minimum value and then increases.
