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

When light of sufficiently high frequency is incident on a metallic surface, electrons are emitted from the metallic surface. TI1is phenomenon is called photoelectric emission. Kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons depends on the wavelength of incident tight and is independent of the intensity of light. Number of emitted photoelectrons depends on intensity. $(\text{h}\upsilon-\phi)$ is the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons (where $\phi$ is the work function of metallic surface). Reverse effect of photo emission produces X-ray. X-ray is not deflected by electric and magnetic fields. Wavelength of a continuous X-ray depends on potential difference across the tube. Wavelength of characteristic X-ray depends on the atomic number.
  1. Einstein's photoelectric equation is:
  1. $\text{E}_\text{max}=\text{h}\upsilon-\phi$

  2. More than n times of the initial kinetic energy.
  3. Less than n times of the initial kinetic energy.

Lenz's law states that the direction of induced current in a circuit is such that it opposes the change which produces it. Tims, if the magnetic flux linked with a closed circuit increases, the induced current flows in such a direction that a magnetic flux is created in the opposite direction of the original magnetic flux. If the magnetic flux linked with the closed circuit decreases, the induced current flows in such a direction so as to create a magnetic flux in the direction of the original flux.
