Question
A compound microscope is an optical instrument used for observing highly magnified images of tiny objects. Magnifying power of a compound microscope is defined as the ratio of the angle subtended at the eye by the final image to the angle subtended at the eye by the object, when both the final image and the object are situated at the least distance of distinct vision from the eye. It can be given that : $m = m_e \times m_0,$ where $m_e$ is magnification produced by eye lens and $m0$ is magnification produced by objective lens.
Consider a compound microscope that 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 $15\ cm.$
  1. The object distance for eye$-$piece, so that final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision, will be:
  1. $3.45\ cm$
  2. $5\ cm$
  3. $1.29\ cm$
  4. $2.59\ cm$
  1. How far from the objective should an object be placed in order to obtain the condition described in part $(i)$?
  1. $4.5\ cm$
  2. $2.5\ cm$
  3. $1.5\ cm$
  4. $3.0\ cm$
  1. What is the magnifying power of the microscope in case of least distinct vision?
  1. $20$
  2. $30$
  3. $40$
  4. $10$
  1. The intermediate image formed by the objective of a compound microscope is:
  1. Real, inverted and magnified.
  2. Real, erect, and magnified.
  3. Virtual, erect and magnified.
  4. Virtual, inverted and magnified.
  1. The magnifying power of a compound microscope increases with :
  1. The focal length of objective lens is increased and that of eye lens is decreased.
  2. The focal length of eye lens is increased and that of objective lens is decreased.
  3. Focal lengths of both objects and eye$-$piece are increased.
  4. Focal lengths of both objects and eye$-$piece are decreased.

Answer

  1. $(b)\ 5\ cm$
Here$, f_0 = 2.0, f_e = 6.25\ cm, u_0 = ?$
When the final image is obtained at the least distance of distinct vision:
$v_e = -25\ cm$
As $\frac{1}{\text{v}_\text{e}}-\frac{1}{\text{}_\text{e}}=\frac{1}{\text{f}_\text{e}}$
$\therefore \frac{1}{\text{u}_\text{e}}\frac{1}{\text{v}_\text{e}}\frac{1}{\text{f}_\text{e}}=\frac{1}{-25}-\frac{1}{6.25}$
$=\frac{-1-4}{25}=\frac{-5}{25}=-\frac{1}{5}$
or $\text{u}_\text{e}=-5\text{cm}$
  1. $(b)\ 2.5\ cm$
Distance between objective and eye$-$piece $= 15\ cm$
$\therefore$ Distance of the image from objective is $\text{v}_0=15-5=10\text{cm}$
$\therefore\frac{1}{\text{u}_0}=\frac{1}{\text{v}_0}-\frac{1}{\text{f}_0}=\frac{1}{\text{10}}-\frac{1}{\text{2}}=\frac{1-5}{\text{10}}=-\frac{2}{5}$
or $\text{u}_0=-\frac{5}{2}=-2.5\text{cm}$
$\therefore$ Distance of object from objective $= 2.5\ cm$
  1. $(a)\ 20$
Magnifying power,
$\text{m}=\text{m}_0\times\text{m}_\text{e}=\frac{\text{v}_0}{\text{u}_0}(1+\frac{\text{D}}{\text{fe}})=\frac{10}{2.5}(1+\frac{25}{6.25})=20$
  1. $(a)$ Real, inverted and magnified.
The intermediate image formed by the objective of a compound microscope is real, inverted and magnified.
  1. $(d)$ Focal lengths of both objects and eye$-$piece are decreased.

Currents can be induced not only in conducting coils, but also in conducting sheets or blocks. Current is induced in solid metallic masses when the magnetic flux threading through them changes. Such currents flow in the from of irregularly shaped loops throughout the body of the metal. These currents look like eddies or whirlpools in water so they are known as eddy currents. Eddy currents have both undesirable effects and practically useful applications. For example it causes unnecessary heating and wastage of power in electric motors, dynamos and in the cores of transformers.

The density of nuclear matter is the ratio of the mass of a nucleus to its volume. As the volume of a nucleus is directly proportional to its mass number $A,$ so the density of nuclear matter is independent of the size of the nucleus. Thus, the nuclear matter behaves like a liquid of constant density. Different nuclei are like drops of this liquid, of different sizes but of same density. Let $A$ be the mass number and $R$ be the radius of a nucleus. If $m$ is the average mass of a nucleon, then. Mass of nucleus $= mA$
Volume of nucleus $=\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{R}^3=\frac{4}{3}\pi\big(\text{R}_0\text{A}\frac{1}{3}\big)=\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{R}^3_0\text{A}$
$\therefore$ Nuclear density $,\rho\text{nu}=\frac{\text{Mass of nucleus}}{\text{Volume of nucleus}}$ or $\ \rho\text{nu}$
$=\frac{\text{MA}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{R}_0^3\text{A}}=\frac{3\text{m}}{4\pi\text{R}_0^3}$
Clearly, nuclear density is independent of mass number $A$ or the size of the nucleus. The nuclear mass density is of the order $10^{17}kg m^{-3}$ This density is very large as compared to the density of ordinary matter, say water, for which $\rho = 1.0 \times 10^3\ kg m^{-3}$

Rectifier is a device which is used for converting alternating current or voltage into direct current or voltage. Its working is based on the fact that the resistance of p-n junction becomes low when forward biased and becomes high when reverse biased.

When a pure resistance $R,$ pure inductor $L$ and an ideal capacitor of capacitance $C$ is connected in series to a source of alternating $e.m.f.,$ then current at any instant through the three elements has the same amplitude and is represented as $\text{I} = \text{I}_0\sin\omega\text{t}.$ However, voltage across each element has a different phase relationship with the current as shown in graph. The effective resistance of $\ce{RLC}$ circuit is called impedance $(Z)$ of the circuit and the voltage leads the current by a phase angle $\phi.$

P-n junction is a single crystal of Ge or Si doped in such a manner that one half portion of it acts asp-type semiconductor and other half functions as n-type semiconductor. As soon as a p-n junction is formed, the holes from the p-region diffuse into then-region, and electron from n region diffuse in top-region. This results in the development of V 8 across the junction which opposes the further diffusion of electrons and holes through the junction.
