A compound microscope consists of an objective lens of focal length 2.0 cm and an eyepiece of focal length 6.25 cm separated by a distance of 15 cm. How far from the objective should an object be placed in order to obtain the final image at (a) the least distance of distinct vision (25 cm), and (b) at infinity? What is the magnifying power of the microscope in each case ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :`V_(e)=-25cm`
`f_(e)=6.25cm.`
Using lens formula,
`(-1)/(25)-(1)/(u_(e))=(1)/(6.25) rArr (1)/(u_(e))=(-1)/(25)-(1)/(6.25)`
`u_(e)=-5cm`
Now `V_(0)=15-5=10cm`
`f_(0)=2.0cm`
`(1)/(upsilon_(0))=(-1)/(u_(0))=(1)/(f_(0))rArr (1)/(10)-(1)/(mu_(0))=(1)/(2)`
`(1)/(u_(0))=(1)/(10)-(1)/(2)=(-5+1)/(10)=(-4)/(10)`
`u_(0)=(-10)/(4)=-2.5cm.`
Magnifying power `=(v_(0))/(1u_(0)1)(1+(D)/(f_(e)))`
`=(10)/(2.5)xx(1+(25)/(6.25))`
`=4(1+4)=20`
B) `u_(0)=-6.25cm`
`upsilon_(0)=15-6.25=8.75cm`
`f_(0)=2.0cm`
`(1)/(upsilon_(0))-(1)/(u_(0))=(1)/(f_(0)) rArr(-1)/(u_(0))=(1)/(f_(0))(-1)/(upsilon_(0))`
`(1)/(mu_(0))=(1)/(2)-(1)/(8.75)=27//70`
`u_(0)=-2.59cm`
Magnifying power
`M=(upsilon_(0))/(|u_(0)|)xx(D)/(f_(e))=(upsilon_(0))/(|u_(0)|)xx(25)/(6.25)`
`M=(8.75xx27)/(8)xx(25)/(6.25)=13.51cm`

The sum of the heights of transmitting and receiving attennas in line of sight of communication is fixed at h, find the height of two antennas when r ange is maximum.

Answer»

`h//2`
2h
h
4h

Solution :The range of line-of-sight communication between two antennas is given by
`v=sqrt(2Rh_(T))+sqrt(2Rh_(R))`
Given `h_(T)+h_(R)=h` and LET `h_(T)=H`, then `h_(R)=h-H`
`therefore r=sqrt(2R)[sqrt(H)+sqrt(h-H)]`
For r to be MAXIMUM,
`(dr)/(dH)=sqrt(2R)[(1)/(2sqrt(H))+(1)/(2sqrt(h-H)(-1))]=0`
or `(1)/(2sqrt(H))-(1)/(2sqrt(h-H))=0` or `H=h-H` or `H=(h)/(2)`
3364.

Which of th efollowing statements are correct?

Answer»

A ray of light is incident on a plane MIRROR and gets reflected. If the mirror is rotated through an angle `theta`, then the reflected ray gets deviated through angle `2theta`
A ray of light gets reflected successively from two mirrors which are mutually inclined. Angular deviation suffered by the ray does not depend upon an angle of incidence on first mirror
A plane mirror cannot FORM real image of a real object
If an object APPROACHED toward a plane mirror with velocity v, then the image approaches the object with velocity 2v.

Solution : a. Angle `BOB^(')=angleAOB^(')angleA0B^(')`
`=2i-(2i-2theta)=2theta`

Total deviation `DELTA=delta_(1)+delta_(2)`
`=(180^(@)-2theta)+180^(@)-2(alpha-omega)`
`=360^(@)-2ALPHA`

which is independent of angleof incidence.
c. Power of a plane mirror is zero.
d. Velocity of the image toward the object `=v+v=2v.`

The four Maxwell's equations and the Lorentz force law (which together constitution the fundations of all the classical electromagnetism) are listed below: (i) oint vecB.vec(ds)=q//(in_0) (ii) oint vecB.vec(ds)=0 (iii) oint vecE.vec(dl)=-d/(dt) int_svecB.vec(ds) (iv) oint vecB.vec(dl)=mu_0I+mu_0d/(dt)int_s vecb.vec(ds) Lorentz force law: vecF=q(vecE+vecvxxvecB) Answer the following question regarding these equation: (a) Give the name (s) associated with some of the four equation above. (b) Which equations above contain source vecE and vecB and which do not? what do the equations reduce to in a source-free region? (c) Write down Maxwell's equations for steady (i.e. time independent) electric and magnetic fields. (d) If magnetic monopoles existed, which of the equations would be modified? Suggest how they might be modified? (e) Which of the four equations shown that magnetic field lines cannot start from a point nor end at a point? (f) Which of the four equations show that electrostatic field lines cannot form closed loops? (g) The equations listed above refer to integrals of vecE and vecBover loops/surfaces Can we write down equations for vecE and vecB for each point in space? (h) Are the equations listed above true for different types of media: dielectrics, conductors, plasmas etc.? (i) Are the equation true fora arbitrarily high and low values of vecE,vecB,q,I?

Answer»

Solution :(a) (i) Guss's law in electrostatics. (ii) Guss's
law in magnetostatics. (iii) Faraday's law of
electromagnetic induction (iv) Ampere's
Circutal law with Maxwell's modification.
(b) Equations (i) and (iv) contain the source Q,
I: equations (ii) and (iii)do not. To obtain
equations in source free region, simply put
`q=0` and `I=0`. Then
`oint vecE.vec(ds)=0`[from eqn(i)]
and `oint vecE.vec(dl)=mu_0in_0d/(dt)int_svecE.vec(ds)`
[From eq(iv)]
(c) Maxwell's equations will be TIME
independent if the derivative of the physical
quantity involved with time is zero. Putting this
concept on the right hand side of EQUATION (iii)
and (iv), we have Maxwell's equations as:
`oint vecE.vec(ds)=Q/(in_0)oint vecE.vec(ds)=0`
`oint vecE.vec(dl)=0oint vecE.vec(dl)=mu_0I`
(d) Equation (ii) and (iii) would be modified .
Equation (ii) is based on the fact that monopoles
do not exist. If the monopoles exist, the right
hand side would contain a term say `q_m`
representing magntic dipole strength,
analogous to Gauss's law, in electrostatics, we would have
`oint vecE.vec(ds)=q_mxxcostant.`
Further equation (iii) would also be modified.
An additional term `I_m` representing the current
due to flow of magnetic charge would have to
be included on the right hand side of equation
(iii) analogous to the electric charge current of
equation (iv), we would have
`oint vecE.vec(dl)=I_mxxconstant-d/(dt)int_svecB.vec(ds)`
All this is of COURSE, based on the expection of
symmetry of from of the equaitons for E and B.
Nature may never show up monopoles or else
even if monopoles exist, the actual modification
of Maxwell's equations might be very different.
(e) Equation (ii) only
(f) Equation (i) shows that the elctrostatic field
lines cannot from closed loops, as electrostatic field
field lines cannot pass through conductors.
(g) Yes, we can. Maxwell's equations can be
cast as different equations valid at every POINT
in space and at every instant.
(h) Maxwell's equations are true in all media.
But in macroscopic media, it is usually
convenient to write down equations for average
of `vecE and vecB` over regions which are small
macroscopically but large enough to contain a
very large number of atoms etc. The resulting
macroscopic Maxwell's equtions are of great
practical use.
(i) Maxwell's equations are the basic laws of
classical electromagnetism. They are true in all
media and for any value of E,B,q,I ect. whithin
the domain of validity of classical
electromagnetism. The precise domain of
validity is hard to specify and need not concern
us here.

In the given figure of a cyclotron, showing the particle source S and the dees.A uniform magnetic field is directed up form the plane of the page.Circulating protons spiral outward within the hollow dees gaining energy every time they cross the gap between the dees.Suppose that a proton, injected by source S at the centre of the centre of the cyclotron in figure initially moves toward a negatively charged dee.It will accelerate toward this dee and enter it.Once inside, it is shielded from electric field by the copper walls of the dee,that is the electric field does not enter the dee.The magnetic field, however, is not screened by the (nonmagnetic) copper dee, so the proton moves in circular path whose radius, which depends on its speed, is given by r=(mv)/(qB)...(1) Let us assume that at the instant the proton emerges into the center gap from the first dee, the potential difference between the dees is reversed.Thus, the proton again faces a negatively charged dee and is again accelerated.Thus,the proton again faces a negatively charged dee and is again accelerated.This process continues, the circulating proton always being in step.with the oscillations of the dee potential, until the proton has spiraled out to the edge of the dee system.There a deflector plate sends it out through a portal.The key to the operation of the cyclotron is that the frequency f at which the proton circulates in the field (and that does not depend on its speed) must be equal to the fixed frequency f_(osc) of the electrical oscilliator, or f=f_(osc)("resonance condition")...(2) This resonance condition says that, if the energy of the circulating proton is to increase, energy must be fed to it at a frequency f_(osc) that is equal to the natural frequency f at which the proton circulates in the magnetic field.

Solution :`-U=2000m "" F=0.50m`
Size of the image`0.18m xx 0.18m`
Using the formula, `(1)/(f)=(1)/(V)-(1)/(u)`
We get,`(1)/(0.50)=(1)/(v)+(1)/(2000), v=0.50m`
`THEREFORE` Image will be formed at the focus.
`m=(v)/(u)=(0.5)/(2000)=0.00025`
`therefore ` Size of the object on the ground will COVER an area of`(0.18)/(0.00025)xx(0.18m)/(0.00025)`
i.e., Area on the ground`=720m xx 720m`.

How is a galvanometer converted into a voltmeter?

Answer»

Solution :A galvanometer can be converted into a voltmeter by CONNECTING a high resistance in series with it.

In figure,
p.d. across AB is `V=(R+G)I_g`
`R=V/I_g-G`
To convert a galvanometer into a voltmeter , a high resistance is connected in series with the coil. The galvanometer with this modification is called a voltmeter. The value of the high resistance R to be connected in series with the coil depends on the maximum potential difference to be measured . If `I_g` be the current for a FULL SCALE DEFLECTION then,
`V=I_g(G+R)`
G is the resistance of the galvanometer.

`therefore R=V/I_g-G`
Since G and R are constants , the scale can be graduated to read potential differences directly. A voltmeter is used for measurement of potential difference . It should be connected in parallel in a circuit.

An image I is formed of point object O by a lens whose optic axis is AB as shown in figure. (a) State whether it is a convex lens or concave? (b) Draw a ray diagram to locate the lens and its focus.

Answer»

SOLUTION : (i) Concave lens always forms an erect IMAGE. The given image I is on the other
SIDE of the optic axis. Hence, the lens is convex.
(ii) Join O with I. LINE OI cuts the optic axis AB at optical centre (P) of the lens. The dotted line
shows the position of lens.

From point O, DRAW a line parallel to AB. Let it cut the dotted line at M. Join M with I. Line
MI cuts the optic axis at focus (F) of the lens.

Explain the superposition principle for static electric forces and write its general equation.

Answer»

Solution :To find force acting on a charge by other charges, principle of superposition is also used with Coulomb.s law.
"When more than one Coulombian forces are acting on a charge, the resultant coulombian force acting on it is equal to the vector sum of the individual forces."

Suppose `q_(1), q_(2)` and `q_3` are charges of a system as shown in figure.
Let `r_(1), r_(2)`and `r_3` are their respective position vectors from ORIGIN .O..
If `vecF_(12)` is force acting on `q_(1)`by `q_(2)`, then
`vecF_(12) = 1/(4piepsilon_(0)).(q_(1)q_(2))/r_(12)^(2).hatr_(12)`..........(1)
And `vecF_(13)` is force acting on `q_(1)` by `q_(3)`, then `vecF_(13) = 1/(4pi epsilon_(0)).(q_(1).q_(2))/r_(13)^(2).vecr_(13)`.........(2)
Where `vecr_(12)` is vecor in direction along `q_(2)` to `q_(2)`.
`therefore vecr_(12) = vecr_(2)-vecr_(1)`
and `vecr_(13)` is vector in direction along `q_(3)` to `q_(1)`.
`therefore vecr_(13) = vecr_(3) - vecr_(1)`
If `VECF` is force on `q_(1)` by `q_(2)` and `q_(3)`, then `vecF = vecF_(12) + vecF_(13)`
`=1/(4pi epsilon_(0)).(q_(1)q_(2))/r_(12)^(2) + 1/(4pi epsilon_(0)).(q_(1).q_(3))/r_(13)^(2).hatr_(13)`
Resultant force on a charge due to more thai three charges is shown in figure (b).

In general, if in system of `q_(1), q_(2), q_(3)`,........... `q_(n)`, force acting on `q_(1)` by other charges.
`vecF_(1) = vecF_(12) + vecF_(13) + vecF_(14) +`............ `vecF_(n)`
`=1/(4piepsilon_(0)) [ (q_(1).q_(2))/vecr_(12) + (q_(1)q_(3))/r_(13)^(2).r_(13) +....(q_(1)q_(2))/r_(1N)^(2).hatr_(1n)]`
`=q_(1)/(4pui epsilon_(0)) sum_(i=2)^(n_(1)).q_(1)/r_(1I)^(2).r_(1i)` {where i=1,2,3,.......n)
The vector sum is obtained as usual by the parallelogram law of addition of vectors.
All of electrostatics is basically a consequence of Coulomb.s law and superposition principle.

A planet is revolving round the sun in elliptical orbit. Its closest distance is r and farthest distance is R. If the orbital velocity closestto the sun is v, then velocity v at farthest point is :

Answer»

`(vr)/(R )`
`(vR)/(r )`
`V((r )/(R ))^(1//2)`
`v ((R )/(r ))^(1//2)`

SOLUTION :Here angular momentum is conserved.
`therefore I_(1)omega_(1)=I_(2)omega_(2) or MR_(1)^(2)omega_(1)=MR_(2)^(2)omega_(2)`
Now `omega_(1)=(v)/(r ) and omega_(2)=(V)/(R )`
`therefore r^(2)xx (v)/(r )=R^(2)xx(V)/(R ) or vr=V.R`
or `V=(vr)/(R )`.
CORRECT choice is (a).
