  • B
    Digestion $\rightarrow $ ingestion $\rightarrow $ assimilation $\rightarrow $ absorption.
  • Ingestion $\rightarrow $ digestion $\rightarrow $ absorption $\rightarrow $ assimilation.
  • D
    Ingestion $\rightarrow $ digestion $\rightarrow $ assimilation $\rightarrow $ absorption.

Answer

Suppose you have focused on a screen the image of candle flame placed at the farthest end of the laboratory table using a convex lens. If your teacher suggests you to focus the parallel rays of the sun, reaching your laboratory table, on the same screen, what you are expected to do is to move the :
A student has obtained an image of a well-illuminated distant object on a screen to determine the focal length, $\text{F}_{1}$ of the given spherical mirror. The teacher then gave him another mirror of focal length, $\text{F}_{2}$ and asked him to obtain a focussed image of the same object on the same screen. The student found that in order to focus the same object using the second mirror, he has to move the mirror away from the screen. From this observation it may be concluded that both the spherical mirrors given to the student were $($select the correct option$)$
