How do you find the rough focal length of a convex lens ? Is the same method applicable to a concave lens?

Answer»

Solution :The rough focal length of a CONVEX lens is obtained by FORMING sharp image of a very distant object ona screen. The DISTANCE of the screen from the lens GIVES us the rough focal length of the lens.
This method is not applicable to a concave lens, as image formed by a concave lens is virtual and it can be TAKEN on a screen.

(a) Give reasons for the folowing : (i) Colour of the clear sky is blue. (ii) The sun be seen about two minutes before actual sunrise. (iii) We cannot see an object see an object clearly if it is placed very close to the eyes. (b) What is presbyopia ? Write two causes of this defect.

Answer»

Solution :(a) (i) Blue colour of sky is due to Rayleigh elastic scattering of sunlight. Light from the sun, while travelling through earth's atmosphere, gets scattered from LARGE number of air molecules in the atmosphere. As size of molecules is `~~ 10^-10 m`, which is much less than WAVELENGTH of light, therefore Rayleigh scattering occurs. As blue colour has the SMALLEST wavelength, it is scattered the most. That is why sky looks blue.
(ii) N/A
(iii) For a normal EYE, the MINIMUM distance

State Ohm's law? How can it be verified experimentally? Does it hold good under all conditions? Comment.

Answer»

Solution :According to Ohm.s law the electric current flowing through a CONDUCTOR is directly proportional to the potential difference applied across its ends provided the physical conditions such as temperature etc remains unchanged.
Let V be the potential difference applied across the ends of conductor through which current I flows, then according to Ohm.s law.
V proportional to `ItoV=IR`
Ohm.s law can be verified experimentally by the ACTIVITY given below:
i] Firstly, set up a circuit as shown in figure given below, consisting of a nichrome wire XY of length, say 0.5 m, an ammeter, a voltmeter and four cells of 1.5 V each. [Nichrome is an alloy of nickel,chromium, manganese, and iron metals.]

ii] FIRST use only one cell as the source in the circuit. Note the reading in the ammeter I, for the current and reading of the voltmeter V for the potential difference across the nichrome wire XY in the circuit. Tabulate them in the Table given.

iii] Next connect two cells in the circuit and note the respective readings of the ammeter and voltmeter for the values of current through the nichrome wire and potential difference across the nichrome wire.
iv] Repeat the above steps using three cells and then four cells in the circuit separately.
v] Calculate the ratio of V to 1 for each pair of potential difference V and current I.
VI] Plot a graph between V and I. The graph will be a straight line as shown below.

VII] This verifies the Ohm.s law.

Two coils of insulated copper wire are wound over a non-conducting cylinder as shown. Coil 1 has comparative large number of turns. State your observations, when(i) Key K is closed.(ii) Key K is openedGive reason for each of your observations.

Answer»

Solution :(i) When key K is closed, GALVANOMETER G gives a momentary deflection in a particular direction. On closing key K, a current starts flowing through coil 1 and a magnetic field is produced. As magnetic field linked with coil 2 increases, an induced voltage is SET up for a moment in coil 2 due to phenomenon of ELECTROMAGNETIC induction.
(ii) On opening key K, the galvanometer G again gives a momentary deflection WHOSE direction is opposite to that in (i). On opening key K current flowing through coil 1 stops and so magnetic field of coils decreases. As a result, again an induced voltage is obtained in coil no 2.
