Question
The given graph shows the variation of charge q versus potential difference V for two capacitors C1 and C2. The two capacitors have same plate separation, but the plate area of C2 is double than that of C1. Which of the lines in the graph correspond to C1 and C2 and why?

✓

Answer

Line A represents C2

Line B represents C1

$\because \text{C}=\frac{\text{A}\varepsilon_{\circ}}{\text{d}}$

$\therefore \text{C}_{2}= 2\text{C}_{1}$

Also, slope of line   $\frac{\text{q}}{\text{V}}=\text{C}$

Line A, of greater slope, corresponds to C2  while line B corresponds to C1.

Answer the following question:
Ray optics is based on the assumption that light travels in a straight line. Diffraction effects (observed when light propagates through small apertures/slits or around small obstacles) disprove this assumption. Yet the ray optics assumption is so commonly used in understanding location and several other properties of images in optical instruments. What is the justification?
