In an electromagnetic system, a quantity defined as the ratio of electric dipole moment and magnetic dipole moment has dimension of $\left[ M ^{ P } L ^{ Q } T ^{ R } A ^{ S }\right]$. The value of P and Q are :
  • A
    $-1,0$
  • B
    $-1,1$
  • C
    $1,-1$
  • $0,-1$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$0,-1$
(D) $0,-1$
Electric dipole moment $(\overrightarrow{ P })= q \times 2 \ell$
Magnetic dipole moment $(\overrightarrow{ M })= IA$
$
\left[\frac{P}{M}\right]=\left[\frac{LTA}{L^2 A}\right]=L^{-1} T=M^0 L^{-1} T^1 A^0
$

A finite size object is placed normal to the principal axis at a distance of 30 cm from a convex mirror of focal length 30 cm. A plane mirror is now placed in such a way that the image produced by both the mirrors coincide with each other. The distance between the two mirrors is :
  • A
    45 cm
  • 7.5 cm
  • C
    22.5 cm
  • D
    15 cm
Answer
Correct option: B.
7.5 cm
(B) 7.5 cm
Image
For Convex mirror
$
\begin{array}{l}
\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f} \\
\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{30}=\frac{1}{30} \\
\frac{1}{v}=\frac{2}{30}=\frac{1}{15} \Rightarrow v=15 cm
\end{array}
$
Image formed by convex mirror is at 45 cm from object so plane mirror should be placed midway at 22.5 cm from object so that both of their images may coinside,
Therefore distance between both mirrors
$
=30-22.5=7.5 cm

Displacement of a wave is expressed as $x(t)=5 \cos \left(628 t+\frac{\pi}{2}\right) m$. The wavelength of the wave when its velocity is $300 m / s$ is :
  • A
    5 m
  • 3 m
  • C
    0.5 m
  • D
    0.33 m
Answer
Correct option: B.
3 m
(B) 3 m
$x ( t )=5 \cos \left[628 t +\frac{\pi}{2}\right] m $
$\text {velocity}\left( v _{\omega}\right)=300 m / s $
$v _{ w }=\frac{\omega}{ K } $
$300=\frac{628}{K} \Rightarrow K =\frac{628}{300} $
$\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}=\frac{628}{300} \Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{2 \times 3.14 \times 300}{628} $
$\lambda=2 m$
