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.

On what factors the amount of heat flowing from hot face to the cold face depends? How?
The flow rate of water from a tap of diameter 1.25 cm is $0.48 \frac{L}{ min }$. The coefficient of viscosity of water is $10^{-3}$ Pa s. After some time the flow rate is increased to $3 L / min$. Characterise the flow for both the flow rates.
→A travelling harmonic wave on a string is described by
