Question
Define the term resistivity and write the SI unit.
✓
Answer
The resistivity of a material of a conductor is defined as the resistance offered by a conductor of length 1 m and area of cross-section $1 \mathrm{~m}^2$. Its SI unit is ohm $\times$ metre $(\Omega \mathrm{m})$.

Answer the following question:
Ray optics is based on the assumption that light travels in a straight line. Diffraction effects (observed when light propagates through small apertures/slits or around small obstacles) disprove this assumption. Yet the ray optics assumption is so commonly used in understanding location and several other properties of images in optical instruments. What is the justification?
