Question
  1. An object is placed in front of a concave mirror. It is observed that a virtual image is formed. Draw the ray diagram to show the image formation and hence derive the mirror equation $\frac{1}{\text{f}}=\frac{1}{\text{u}}+\frac{1}{\text{v}}.$
  2. An object is placed 30cm in front of a plano-convex lens with its spherical surface of radius of curvature 20cm. If the refractive index of the material of the lens is 1.5, find the position and nature of the image formed.

Answer

  1.  

$\triangle\text{ABC}\sim\triangle\text{A}_1\text{B}_1\text{C}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{A}_1\text{B}_1}{\text{AB}}=\frac{\text{A}_1\text{C}}{\text{AC}}=\frac{(+\text{v})+(-\text{R)}}{(-\text{R})-(-\text{u)}}\ ...(1)$

$\triangle\text{ABP}\sim\triangle\text{A}_1\text{B}_1\text{P}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{A}_1\text{B}_1}{\text{AB}}=\frac{\text{A}_1\text{P}}{\text{AP}}=\frac{+\text{v}}{-\text{u}}\ ...(2)$

$(1)=(2)$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{v}-\text{R}}{-\text{R}+\text{u}}=\frac{\text{v}}{-\text{u}}$

$\Rightarrow-\text{uv}+\text{uR}=-\text{vR}+\text{uv}$

$\Rightarrow\text{uR}+\text{vR}=2\text{uv}$

$\div\text{ by }\text{uvR}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{v}}+\frac{1}{\text{u}}=\frac{2}{\text{R}}$

$\because\text{R}=2\text{F}$

$\therefore\frac{1}{\text{v}}+\frac{1}{\text{u}}=\frac{1}{\text{f}}$

  1. $\frac{1}{\text{f}}=(1.5-1)\Big(\frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{\infty}\Big)$

$=\frac{0.5}{20}=\frac{5}{200}=\frac{1}{40}$

$\therefore\text{f}=40\text{cm}$

Now, $\frac{1}{\text{f}}=\frac{1}{\text{v}}-\frac{1}{\text{v}}$

$\Rightarrow\text{v}=\frac{\text{fu}}{\text{f}+\text{u}}=\frac{40\times-30}{40-30}$

$\Rightarrow\text{v}=\frac{-40\times30}{10}=-120\text{cm}$

Image is virtual, erect and enlarged in front of lens 120cm away.

Answer the following questions:
(a) Are the equations of nuclear reactions (such as those given in Section 13.7) 'balanced' in the sense a chemical equation (e.g., $2 H _2+ O _2 \rightarrow 2 H _2 O$ ) is? If not, in what sense are they balanced on both sides?
(b) If both the number of protons and the number of neutrons are conserved in each nuclear reaction, in what way is mass converted into energy (or vice-versa) in a nuclear reaction?
(c) A general impression exists that mass-energy interconversion takes place only in nuclear reaction and never in chemical reaction. This is strictly speaking, incorrect. Explain.
