828.

An object is placed 20cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15cm. Calculate the linear magnification of the image formed

A.

0.5

B.

1.5

C.

2.0

D.

3.0

Correct answer is D

\(\frac{1}{U} + \frac{1}{V} = \frac{1}{F}\)

\(\frac{1}{V} = \frac{1}{F} - \frac{1}{U}\)

\(\frac{1}{V} = \frac{1}{15} - \frac{1}{20}\)

\(\frac{1}{V} = \frac{\text{4 - 3}}{60}\)


\(\frac{1}{V} = \frac{1}{60}\)

V = 60cm

M = \(\frac{V}{U} = \frac{60}{20}\)

M = 3.0cm

829.

Red light travels faster than blue light when both of them pass through a glass prism because the

A.

refractive index of red light is grester than that of blue light

B.

refractive index of blue light is greater than that of red light

C.

red light is more intense than the blue light

D.

blue light is more intense than the red light

Correct answer is D

A girl standing some distance from the cliff claps her hands and hears the echo 0.8s later. calculate her distance from the cliff. [speed of sound in air = 320 ms-1]

A.

23m

B.

128m

C.

288m

D.

298m

Correct answer is B

V = \(\frac{2nx}{E}\)

= \(\frac{2 \times 1 \times X}{0.8} = 320\)

2x = 0.8 x 320

x = \(\frac{0.8 \times 320}{2}\)

= 128m
