Question

In general, metallic ropes are suspended on the carriers which take inflammable material. The reason is

(a) There speed is controlled

(b) To keep the centre of gravity of the carrier nearer to the earth

(c) To keep the body of the carrier in contact with the earth

(d) Nothing should be placed under the carrier

Answer

(c) To keep the body of the carrier in contact with the earth

Total internal reflection can take place only if:
  1. Light goes from optically rarer medium (smaller refractive index) to optically denser medium.
  2. Light goes from optically denser medium to rarer medium.
  3. The refractive indices of the two media are close to each other.
  4. The refractive indices of the two media are widely different.
In producing a pure spectrum, the incident light is passed through a narrow slit placed in the focal plane of an achromatic lens because a narrow slit:
  1. Produces less diffraction.
  2. Increases intensity.
  3. Allows only one colour at a time.
  4. Allows a more parallel beam when it passes through the lens.
