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

In year 1820 Oersted discovered the magnetic effect of current. Faraday gave the thought that reverse of this phenomenon is also possible i.e., current can also be produced by magnetic field. Faraday showed that when we move a magnet towards the coil which is connected by a sensitive galvanometer. The galvanometer gives instantaneous deflection showing that there is an electric current in the loop. Whenever relative motion between coil and magnet takes place an emf induced in coil. If coil is in closed circuit then current is also induced in the circuit. This phenomenon is called electromagnetic induction.
  1. The north pole of a long bar magnet was pushed slowly into a short solenoid connected to a galvanometer. The magnet was held stationary for a few seconds with the north pole in the middle of the solenoid and then withdrawn rapidly.

  1. Moving towards the solenoid.
  2. Moving into the solenoid.
  3. At rest inside the solenoid.

The electron mobility characterises how quickly an electron can move through a metal of semiconductor when pulled by an electric field. There is an analogous quality for holes, called hole mobility. A block of pure silicon at 300K has a length of 10cm and an area of $1.0cm^2.$ A battery of emf 2V is connected across it.

The reduction factor K of a tangent galvanometer is written on the instrument. The manual says that the current is obtained by multiplying this factor to tane. The procedure works well at Bhuwaneshwar. Will the procedure work if the instrument is taken to Nepal? If there is some error, can it be corrected by correcting the manual or the instrument will have to be taken back to the factory?
