Take MCQ Physics Test

1.
What is the essential difference between fluorescence and phosphorescence?
2.
Through a simple microscope, an object is seen in red light first and then in violet light.In which case is magnifying power more?
3.
A myopic person prefers to remove his spectacles while reading a book. Why?
4.
A person looking at a mesh of crossed wires is able to see the vertical wires more distinctly than the horizontal wires. Why? How can it be corrected?
5.
What is range of vision?
6.
A breaker is filled with water to a height of 12.5 cm. The apparent depth of a needle lying at the bottom of the beaker is measured by a microscope to be 9.4 cm. What is the refractive index of water ? If water is If water is replaced by a liquid of refractive index 1.63 upto the same height, by what distance would the microscope have to be moved to focus on the needle again ?
7.
In the normal adjustment of an astronomical telescope, the distance between the objective lens and the eye lens is 10 sm. The magnifying power of the telescope is 4. Calculate the focal lengths of objective and eye lens.
8.
When an object is placed at a distance of 60 cm from a convex spherical mirror, the magnification produced is 1/2. Where should the object be placed to get a magnification of 1/3?
9.
Show that at polarising angle, the reflected and refracted beams of light are at \({ 90 }^{ \circ }\) to each other.
10.
For light diverging from a point source
The wavefront is spherical
The intensity decrease in proportion to the distance squared
The wavefront is parabolic
The intensity at the wavefront does not depend on the distance
11.
In a young's double slit experiment, the source is white light. One of the holes is covered by a red filter and another by a blue filter. In this case
There shall be alternate interference pattern of red and blue
There shall be alternate interference pattern of red distinct from that for blue
There shall be no interference fringes
There shall be alternate interference pattern of red mixing with one for blue
12.
Consider sunlight incident on a slit of width \({ 10 }^{ 4 }\)A. The image seen through the slit shall darkness as observed through the polaroid
Be a fine sharp slit white in colour at the centre
A bright slit white at the centre diffusing to zero intensities at the edges
A bright slit white at the centre diffusing to regions of different colours
only be a diffused slit white in colour
1.
Fluorescence is the phenomenon of emission of energy in visible region by a substance on absorbing radiations of higher frequency.If the process of emission continues even after the exciting radiations are stopped, the phenomenon is called phosphorescence.
2.
\(m=1+{d\over f}\).As fr>fv, therefore, magnifying power increases when violet light is used.
3.
A myopic person has to use spectacles with concave lens.He may have normal near point (\(\approx\)25cm). To read with specs, he has o hold the book at a distance greater than 25cm. As angular size of object at a distance > 25 cm is less than angular size of object at 25 cm, therefore, the person prefers to remove his spectacles while reading.
4.
This problem is due to astigmatism of the eye. This defect is removed using a cylindrical lens. With appropriate axis and suitable radius of curvature.
5.
Range of the vision is the distance between near point and far point of eye.
6.
1.33; 1.7 cm
7.
fe = 2 cm, fo = 8 cm
8.
Here,
\(u_{ 1 }=-60\ cm,\ m_{ 1 }=\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)
\( u_{ 2 }=?,\ m_{ 2 }=\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \)
As \(m_{ 1 }=-\frac { \upsilon _{ 1 } }{ u_{ 1 } } \therefore \frac { 1 }{ 2 } =-\frac { \upsilon _{ 1 } }{ -(-60) } ,\upsilon _{ 1 }=30\quad cm\)
From \(\frac { 1 }{ f } =\frac { 1 }{ \upsilon _{ 1 } } +\frac { 1 }{ u_{ 1 } } =\frac { 1 }{ 30 } -\frac { 1 }{ 60 } =\frac { 1 }{ 60 } \)
\(f=60\ cm\)
Again, \(m_{ 2 }=-\frac { \upsilon _{ 2 } }{ u_{ 2 } } =\frac { 1 }{ 3 } ,\ \upsilon _{ 2 }=-\frac { u_{ 2 } }{ 3 } \)
From
\(\frac { 1 }{ \upsilon _{ 2 } } +\frac { 1 }{ u_{ 2 } } =\frac { 1 }{ f }\)
\( \frac { 1 }{ u_{ 2 } } =\frac { 1 }{ f } -\frac { 1 }{ \upsilon _{ 2 } } =\frac { 1 }{ 60 } +\frac { 3 }{ u_{ 2 } } \)
or \(\frac { 1 }{ u_{ 2 } } -\frac { 3 }{ u_{ 2 } } =\frac { 1 }{ 60 } ,\ u_{ 2 }=-120 \ cm\)
9.
Let \(\mu \) be refractive index of the transparent surface. If \({ i }_{ p }\)is polarising angle r is the angle of refraction as shown in Fig. then from Snell law, we have
\( \mu =\frac { \sin { { i }_{ p } } }{ \sin { { r } } } ....(1)\)
\(From \ Breester' \ law, \ we \ have\)
\(\mu =\tan { { i }_{ p } } =\frac { \sin { { i }_{ p } } }{ \sin { { i }_{ p } } } ....(2)\)
\(From \ Eqs.\ (1)\ (2), \ we \ have\)
\(\frac { \sin { { i }_{ p } } }{ \sin { r } } =\frac { \sin { { i }_{ p } } }{ { \cos { { i }_{ p } } } }\)
\(or \ \sin { r } =\cos { { i }_{ p } } \)
\(or \ \sin { r } =\sin { ({ 90 }^{ \circ } } -{ i }_{ p })\)
\(or \ r ={ 90 }^{ \circ }-{ i }_{ p }\)
\( or \ { i }_{ p }+r={ 90 }^{ \circ }\)
i.e. the reflected and refracted beams of light at polarising angle are perpendicular to each other.
