A rod of length makes an angle with the principal axis of a thin convex lens. The lens has a focal length of and is placed at a distance of from the object as shown in the figure. The height of the image is and the angle made by it with respect to the principal axis is \(\alpha\) rad. The value of is , where is

- A 2
- B 4
- C 6
- D 8
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 6
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In convex lens, when an object is placed in between the centre of curvature and focus, the real image is formed behind the centre of curvature. The size of the image is larger than that of the object. Here, the angle made by inner side of rod with principal axis is .

- A small block is connected to one end of a massless spring of un-stretched length \(4.9 \mathrm{~m}\). The other end of the spring (see the figure) is fixed. The system lies on a horizontal frictionless surface. The block is stretched by \(0.2 \mathrm{~m}\) and released from rest at \(t=0\). It then executes simple harmonic motion with angular frequency \(\omega=\pi / 3 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\). Simultaneously at \(t=0\), a small pebble is projected with speed \(v\) form point \(P\) at an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) as shown in the figure. Point \(P\) is at a horizontal distance of \(10 \mathrm{~m}\) from \(O\). If the pebble hits the block at \(t=1 \mathrm{~s}\), the value of \(v\) is (take \(g\) \(=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\) )

- A particle of mass \(m\) is under the influence of the gravitational field of a body of mass \(M(\gg m)\). The particle is moving in a circular orbit of radius \(r_0\) with time period \(T_0\) around the mass \(M\). Then, the particle is subjected to an additional central force, corresponding to the potential energy \(V_{\mathrm{c}}(r)=m \alpha / r^3\), where \(\alpha\) is a positive constant of suitable dimensions and \(r\) is the distance from the center of the orbit. If the particle moves in the same circular orbit of radius \(r_0\) in the combined gravitational potential due to \(M\) and \(V_{\mathrm{c}}(r)\), but with a new time period \(T_1\), then \(\left(T_1^2-T_0^2\right) / T_1^2\) is given by

- Paragraph:
In hexagonal system of crystals, a frequently encountered arrangement of atoms is described as a hexagonal prism. Here, the top and bottom of the cell are regular hexagons and three atoms are sandwiched in between them. A space-filling model of this structure, called hexagonal close-packed (HCP), is constituted of a sphere on a flat surface surrounded in the same plane by six identical spheres as closely as possible. Three spheres are then placed over the first layer so that they touch each other and represent the second layer. Each one of the three spheres touches three spheres of the bottom layer. Finally, the second layer is covered with a third layer that is identical to the bottom layer in relative position. Assume radius of every sphere to be ' \(r\) '.
