MCQ

A potential divider circuit is connected with a dc source of $20 \mathrm{~V}$, a light emitting diode of glow in voltage $1.8 \mathrm{~V}$ and a zener diode of breakdown voltage of $3.2 \mathrm{~V}$. The length (PR) of the resistive wire is $20 \mathrm{~cm}$. The minimum length of $P Q$ to just glow the LED is ............. cm.

$PR=20cm$

$\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{PQ}}=\frac{1}{4} \times \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{PR}}$

$\ell_{\min }(\mathrm{PQ})=\frac{1}{4} \times 20$

$=5 \mathrm{~cm}$

The angles of incidence and refraction of a monochromatic ray of light of wavelength $\lambda$ at an air-glass interface are $i$ and $r$, respectively. A parallel beam of light with a small spread $\delta \lambda$ in wavelength about a mean wavelength $\lambda$ is refracted at the same air-glass interface. The refractive index $\mu$ of glass depends on the wavelength $\lambda$ as $\mu(\lambda)=a+b / \lambda^2$, where $a$ and $b$ are constants. Then, the angular spread in the angle of refraction of the beam is
