A roller is mad e by joining together two cones at their vertices \(O\). It is kept on two rails \(AB\) and \(CD\), which are placed asymmetrically (see figure) , with its axis perpendicular to \(CD \) and its centre \(O\) at the centre ofline joining \(AB\) and \(CD\) (see figure) . It is given a light push so that it \(A\) starts rolling with its centre \(O\) moving parallel to \(CD\) in the direction shown. As it moves, the roller will tend to

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) turn left

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As shown in the diagram, the normal reaction of \(AB\) on roller will shift towards \(O\).

This will lead to tending of the system of cones to trun left.

Consider a tank made of glass (refractive index \(1.5\)) with a thick bottom. It is filled with a liquid of refractive index \(\mu \). A student finds that, irrespective of what the incident angle \(I\) (see figure) is for a beam of light entering the liquid, the light reflected from the liquid glass interface is never completely polarized. For this to happen, the minimum value of \(\mu \) is
