Question

Though the statement quoted above may be disputed, most physicists do have a feeling that the great laws of physics are at once simple and beautiful. Some of the notable physicists, besides Dirac, who have articulated this feeling, are: Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg, Chandrasekhar and Feynman. You are urged to make special efforts to get access to the general books and writings by these and other great masters of physics. (See the Bibliography at the end of this book.) Their writings are truly inspiring!

Answer

There is no doubt that great laws of physics are at once so simple and beautiful and are easy to grasp. For example, let us look at some these. $E = mc^2$ is a famous Einstein’s mass energy equivalence relation which has a great impact not only on the various physical phenomena but also on the human lives Plank’s quantum condition i.e. E = hv is also a simple and beautiful equation and it is a great law of physics. or is Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle which is also very simple. Beautiful and interesting. It is a direct consequence of the dual nature of matter. is also a famous equation in physics known as de–Broglie equation. It is again simple and beautiful.

The magnifying power of a converging lens used as a simple microscope is $\Big(1+\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}}\Big).$ A compound microscope is a combination of two such converging lenses. Why don't we have magnifying power $\Big(1+\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}_\text{o}}\Big) \Big(1+\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}_\text{o}}\Big)?$ In other words, why can the objective not be treated as a simple microscope but the eyepiece can?

A person looks at different trees in an open space with the following details. Arrange the trees in decreasing order of their apparent sizes.

Tree	Height(m)	Distance form the eye(m)
A	2.8	50
B	2.5	80
C	1.8	70
D	2.8	100

A cyclist goes round a circular track of 440 metres length in 20 seconds. Find the angle that the cycle makes with the vertical.

The magnifying power of a simple microscope is given by $1+\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}},$ where D is the least distance for clear vision. For farsighted persons, D is greater than the usual. Does it mean that the magnifying power of a simple microscope is greater for a farsighted person as compared to a normal person? Does it mean that a farsighted person can see an insect more clearly under a microscope than a normal person?
