The near point of eye suffering fromhypermetropia is 1 m. Calculate the Power that is needed to correct this eye defect. In this case we are assuming the near point as 25 cm.

Answer»

Solution :Here we KNOW the VALUES of u and v .PUT these values in the fonnula given above and final f i.e FOCAL length
Value of u=-1m =-100cm
Value of u=-1m=-100cm
Value of -25cm
USE the lens formula
(1/v)-(1/u)=1/f
`1/-25-1/-100=1/f
4-1/100=3/100
f=100/3=33cm
=1/.33=3D
Power of lens=1/f=3D

A man is standing between two vertical walls 680m apart. He claps his hands and hears two distinct echoes after 0.9 seconds and 1.1 second respectively. What is the speed of sound in the air?

Answer»

Solution :VELOCITY =`("DISTANCE TRAVELLED by sound")/("Time taken")`
`d_(1)=(vt_(1))/(2)&d_(2)=(vt_(2))/(2)`
`d=(V)/(2)(t_(1)+t_(2))`
`v=(2d)/((t_(1)+t_(2)))`
`=(2xx680)/((0.9+1.1))`
`=(2xx680)/(2)`
`v=680ms^(-2)`
Given data.s
d=680m
`t_(1)=0.9s`
`t_(2)=1.1s`
v=?

At 27^@Ctwo moles of an ideal mono-atomic gas occupy a volume V. The gas expands adiabatically to a volume 2V. The final temperature of the gas is[ Take Y = 5/3]

Answer»

179 K
189 K
213 K
219 K

Solution :In an ADIABATIC change `T_2V_2^(gamma-1) = T_1V_1^(gamma-1)`
or `T_2=T_1(V_1/V_2)^(gamma-1)`
`T_2=300(V/(2V))^(5/3-1)=300(0.5)^(3//2)`
`T_2=189.03K.`

A 6 Omega resistance wire is doubled on itself. Calculate the new resistance of the wire.(b) Three 2 Omega resistors A, B and C are connected in such a way that the total resistance of the combination is 3 Omega Show the arrangement of the three resistors and justify your answer.

Answer»

Solution : LET LENGTH and cross-section area of given will be L and A respectively and`rho` be its resistivity. Then
Resistance of WIRE R = (`rho`L)/(A)=6`OMEGA`…(i)
When the wire is doubled on itself, its new length L. =`L/2`= and new cross-section area A. = 2A. So its new resistance will be
`R.=(rhoL.)/(A.)=(rho(L/2))/((2A))=1/4(rhoL)/(A)=R/4=6/4=1.5 Omega`
(b) The arrangement of 3 resistors of 2 `Omega` each, so as to have a net resistance of 3 `Omega`, is SHOWN here. Here `R_1` is in series of the parallel combination of `R_2` and `R_3`. If combined resistance of `R_2` and `R_3` be R.,then `(1)/(R.)=(1)/(R_2)+(1)/(R_3)=1/2+1/2=1/1`
`implies R.=1 Omega`
`Omega` Net resistance of ciricuit `R=R_1+R.=2+1=3 Omega`

At noon, the Sun appears as white but in morning or evening appears as reddish. Why ?

Answer»

Solution :Asshown in Fig. 11.15, atnoon the SUNLIGHT would TRAVEL RELATIVELY shorter distance before reaching us. As a result, scattering of blue and violet light is very less and the Sun appears white. In early morning or evening, Sun is near the horizon and surnlight passes a LONGER distance in earth.s atmosphere before reaching us. So most of the blue-violet light is scattered away. It GIVES reddish appearance to the Sun.
