Question
Solve the previous problem if the paperweight is inverted at its place so that the spherical surface touches the paper.
✓
Answer
Thickness of glass $=3\text{cm}, \ \mu_{\text{g}}=1.5$ Image shif $=3\Big(1-\frac{1}{1.5}\Big)$ [Treating it as a simple refraction problem because the upper surface is flat and the spherical surface is in contact with the object] $=3\times\frac{0.5}{1.5}=1\text{cm}.$
The image will appear 1 cm above the point P.Need a full question paper?

Consider a variation of the previous problem (figure). Suppose the circular loop lies in a vertical plane. The rod has a mass m. The rod and the loop have negligible resistances but the wire connecting O and C has a resistance R. The rod is made to rotate with a uniform angular velocity $\omega$ in the clockwise direction by applying a force at the midpoint of OA in a direction perpendicular to it. Find the magnitude of this force when the rod makes an angle $\theta$ with the vertical.
→Find the temperature at which the average thermal kinetic energy is equal to the energy needed to take a hydrogen atom from its ground state to n = 3 state. Hydrogen can now emit red light of wavelength 653.1nm. Because of Maxwellian distribution of speeds, a hydrogen sample emits red light at temperatures much lower than that obtained from this problem. Assume that hydrogen molecules dissociate into atoms.
