Question
A lady cannot see objects closer than 40cm from the left eye and closer than 100cm from the right eye. While on a mountaineering trip, she is lost from her team. She tries to make an astronomical telscope from her reading glasses to look for her teammates.
  1. Which glass should she use as the eyepiece?
  2. What magnification can she get with relaxed eye?

Answer

The lady can not see objects closer than 40cm from the left eye and 100cm from the right eye.For the left glass lens,
v = -40cm,
u = -25cm
$\therefore \frac{1}{\text{f}}=\frac{1}{\text{v}}-\frac{1}{\text{u}}=\frac{1}{-40}-\frac{1}{-25}=\frac{1}{25}-\frac{1}{40}=\frac{3}{200}$
$\Rightarrow \text{f}=\frac{200}{3}\text{cm}$
For the right glass lens,
v = -100cm,
u = -25cm
$\frac{1}{\text{f}}=\frac{1}{\text{v}}-\frac{1}{\text{u}}=\frac{1}{-100}-\frac{1}{-25}=\frac{1}{100}=\frac{3}{100}$
$\Rightarrow\text{f}=\frac{100}{3}\text{cm}$
  1. For an astronomical telescope, the eye piece lens should have smaller focal length. So, she should
use the right lens $\big(\text{f}=\frac{100}{3}\text{cm}\big)$ as the eye piece lens.
  1. With relaxed eye, (normal adjustment)
$\text{f}_0=\frac{200}{3}\text{cm}$
$\text{f}_\text{e}=\frac{100}{3}\text{cm}$
magnification $=\text{m}=\frac{\text{f}_0}{\text{f}_\text{e}}=\frac{\big(\frac{200}{3}\big)}{\big( \frac{100}{3}\big)}=2$

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5. Projectile motion is a form of motion in which an object or particle is thrown with some initial velocity near the earth’s surface and it moves along a curved path under the action of gravity alone. The path followed by a projectile is called its trajectory, which is shown below. When a projectile is projected obliquely, then its trajectory is as shown in the figure below. Here velocity u is resolved into two components, we get (a) u cosθ along OX and (b) u sinθ along OY.
  1. The example of such type of motion is:
  1. Motion of car on a banked road.
  2. Motion of boat in sea.
