Question
Locate the image formed by refraction in the situation shown in figure.
✓
Answer
$\mu_1=1, \ \mu_2=1.5,$
R = 20cm (Radius of curvature), u = -25cm$\therefore \ \frac{\mu_2}{\text{v}}-\frac{\mu_1}{\text{u}}=\frac{\mu_2-\mu_1}{\text{R}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1.5}{\text{v}}=\frac{0.5}{20}-\frac{1}{25}=\frac{1}{40}-\frac{1}{25}=\frac{-3}{200}$
$\Rightarrow \ \text{v}=200\times0.5=-100\text{cm}.$
So, the image is 100cm from (P) the surface on the side of S.Need a full question paper?

Explain briefly the process of charging a parallel plate capacitor when it is connected across a d.c. battery. A capacitor of capacitance ‘C’ is charged to ‘V’ volts by a battery. After some time the battery is disconnected, and the distance between the plates is doubled. Now a slab of dielectric constant, 1 < k < 2, is introduced to fill the space between the plates. How will the following be affected:
- The electric field between the plates of the capacitor.
- The energy stored in the capacitor.
