Answer
Let the instantenous value of alternating current be
$i=I_{0} sin \omega t$
$I_{0}=$ peak value of current,
$t=$ time at any instant.
Also, $\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}$, $T=$ Time period.
$i=\frac{dQ}{dt}\Rightarrow dQ=idt$
$\int_{0}^{Q}dQ=\int_{0}^{T/2}idt$
$Q|_{0}^{Q}=\int_{0}^{T/2}I_{0}sin \omega tdt$
$Q=\frac{-I_{0}}{\omega}|cos\frac{2\pi}{T}.t|_{0}^{T/2}$
$Q=-\frac{I_{0}}{\omega}|cos\frac{2\pi}{T}\times\frac{T}{2}-cos\frac{2\pi}{T}.0|$
$Q=-\frac{I_{0}}{\omega}(cos \pi-cos 0) = -\frac{I_{0}}{\omega}\times-2 = \frac{2I_{0}}{\omega}$
Also, $Q=I_{m}\times\frac{T}{2}$
from (1) and (2)
$I_{m}\times\frac{T}{2}=\frac{2I_{0}}{2\pi} \times T$
$I_{m}\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2I_{0}}{2\pi} \times T$
$I_{m}=\frac{2I_{0}}{\pi}= 0.637 I_{0}$
Mean value of current, $I_{m}=0.637$ times peak value of current.

The lens maker's formula relates the focallength of a lens to the refractive index of the lens material and the radii of curvature of its two surfaces. This formula is called so because it is used by manufacturers to design lenses of required focal length from a glass of given refractive index.
If the object is placed at infinity, the image will be fanned at focus for both double convex lens and double concave lens.
Therefore, lens maker's formula is, $\frac{1}{\text{f}}=[\frac{\mu_2-\mu_1}{\mu_1}][\frac{1}{\text{R}_1}-\frac{1}{\text{R}_2}]$
When lens is placed in air, $\mu_1=1$ and $\mu_2=\mu.$ The lens maker formula takes the form, $\frac{1}{\text{f}}=(\mu-1)[\frac{1}{\text{R}_1}-\frac{1}{\text{R}_2}]$

Maxwell showed that the speed of an electromagnetic wave depends on the penneability and pennittivity of the medium through which it travels. The speed of an electromagnetic wave in free space is given by $\text{c}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0\in_0}}.$ The fact led Maxwell to predict that light is an electromagnetic wave. The emergence of the speed of light from purely electromagnetic considerations is the crowning achievement of Maxwell's electromagnetic theory. The speed of an electromagnetic wave in any medium of permeability $\mu$ and pennittivity $\in$ will be $\frac{\text{c}}{\sqrt{\text{K}\mu_\text{r}}}$ where K is the dielectric constant of the medium and $\mu,$ is the relative permeability.

- ML2T-2
- ML-1T-2

- Let $[\in_0]$ denote the dimensional formula of the permittivity of the vacuum. UM = mass, L = length, T = time and A = electric current, then
- $[\in_0]=\text{M}^{-1}\text{L}^{-3}\text{T}^2\text{A}$
- $[\in_0]=\text{M}^{-1}\text{L}^{-3}\text{T}^4\text{A}^2$
- $[\in_0]=\text{MLT}^{-2}\text{A}^{-2}$
- $[\in_0]=\text{ML}^{2}\text{A}^{-1}$
- An electromagnetic wave offrequency 3MHz passes from vacuum into adielectricmedium with permittivity $\in=4.$ Then
- Wavelength and frequency both remain unchanged.
