Question

prism can produce a minimum deviation $\delta$ in a light beam. If three such prisms are combined, the minimum deviation that can be produced in this beam is:

$0$
$\delta$
$2\delta$
$3\delta$

✓

Answer

$\delta$

Explanation:

In combination (refractive angles of prisms reversed with respect to each other), the deviations through two prisms cancel out each other and the net deviation is due to the third prism only.

An oscillator of mass $M$ is at rest in its equilibrium position in a potential $V\, = \,\frac{1}{2}\,k{(x - X)^2}.$ A particle of mass $m$ comes from right with speed $u$ and collides completely inelastically with $M$ and sticks to it . This process repeats every time the oscillator crosses its equilibrium position .The amplitude of oscillations after $13$ collisions is: $(M = 10,\, m = 5,\, u = 1,\, k = 1 ).$

In an experiment of determine the Young's modulus of wire of a length exactly $1\; m$, the extension in the length of the wire is measured as $0.4\,mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.02\,mm$ when a load of $1\,kg$ is applied. The diameter of the wire is measured as $0.4\,mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.01\,mm$. The error in the measurement of Young's modulus $(\Delta Y)$ is found to be $x \times 10^{10}\,Nm ^{-2}$.
