To obtain a virtual, erect and magnified image from a thin converging lens, an object must be placed 

A.

between the focus and the lens

B.

at the focus

C.

between the focal length and twice the focal length

D.

beyond twice the focal length

Correct answer is A

When the object is placed between the optical centre of the lens and the focal length, the image formed is virtual, erect and magnified.

A simple barometer is constructed using a liquid Q1 of density 16.2g/cm3. Calculate the least lenth of the tube to be used to measure pressure of 1.5atm.  [Density of mercury = 13.6g/cm3, 1atm = 76.0 cm of Mercury]

A.

1358mm

B.

957mm

C.

760mm

D.

638mm

Correct answer is D

Let hQ and ρQ be the least length and the density of Q1 

while h and ρ are the length and density of mercury respectively.

h×ρ×g=hQ×ρQ×g

76cm×13.6×10=hQ×16.2×10

hQ=76×13.6×1016.2×10

hQ=10336162

hQ
