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 $=\text{m}=\frac{\text{f}_0}{\text{f}_\text{e}}=\frac{\big(\frac{200}{3}\big)}{\big( \frac{100}{3}\big)}=2$

The distance between the centres of two insulated charged copper spheres ' $A$ ' and ' $B$ ' which are identical in size is 50 cm and the charge on each is $6.5 \times 10^{-7} C$. A third uncharged sphere ' C ' of the same size was first brought in contact with the sphere ' $A$ ', and then brought in contact with the second sphere ' $B$ ' and finally separated from both. Then find the magnitude of repulsive foce between ' $A$ ' and ' $B$ '.

Smallest charge that can exist in nature is the charge of an electron. During friction, it is only the transfer of electrons which makes the body charged. Hence, net charge on any body is an integral multiple of charge of an electron [1.6 x 10-19C] i.e.

q = ± ne

Where n = 1, 2, 3, 4,....

Hence, no body can have a charge represented as 1.1 e, 2. 7e, $\frac{3}{5}\text{e,}$ etc.

Recently, it has been discovered that elementary particles such as protons or neutrons are composed of more elemental units called quarks.

Hydrogen is the simplest atom of nature. There is one proton in its nucleus and an electron moves around the nucleus in a circular orbit. According to Niels Bohr, this electron moves in a stationary orbit. When this electron is in the stationary orbit, it emits no electromagnetic radiation.The angular momentum of the electron is quantized, i.e., ⁣$\text{mvr}=\big(\frac{\text{nh}}{2\pi}\big)$ where m = mass of the electron, v = velocity of the electron in the orbit, r = radius of the orbit and n = 1, 2, 3, .... When transition takes place from Kth orbit to Jth orbit, energy photon is emitted. If the wavelength of the emitted photon is $\lambda$ we find that $\frac{1}{\lambda}=\text{R}\bigg[\frac{1}{\text{J}^2}-\frac{1}{\text{K}^2}\bigg]$where find that On a different planet, the hydrogen atom's structure was somewhat different from ours. The angular momentum of electron was $\text{P}=2\text{n}\Big(\frac{\text{h}}{2\pi}\Big)$ i.e., an even multiple of $\Big(\frac{\text{h}}{2\pi}\Big)$.

  1. The minimum permissible radius of the orbit will be.
