9.11 Focal length of the objective lens, f1 = 2.0 cm

Focal length of the eyepiece, f2 = 6.25 cm

Distance between the objective lens and the eyepiece, d = 15 cm

Least distance of distinct vision, d' = 25 cm

Hence, image distance for the eyepiece, v2 = - 25 cm

Let the object distance for the eyepiece be = u2

According to lens formula, we get

1v2 - 1u2 = 1f2 or 1u2=1v2-1f2 or 1u2=1-25-16.25

u2=-5cm

Image distance for the objective lens, v1 = d + u2 = 15 – 5 = 10 cm

Let the object distance for the eyepiece be = u1

According to lens formula, we get

1v1 - 1u1 = 1f1 or 1u1=1v1-1f1 or 1u1=110-12

u1=-2.5cm

9.10 Focal length of the convex lens,  f1 = 30 cm, focal length of the concave lens,  f2 = -20 cm

Let the focal length of the combined lens be = f

The equivalent focal length of a system of two lenses in combined form is given by

1f = 1f1 + 1f2

1f = 130 - 120 = -160

f = - 60 cm

Hence, the focal length of the combination lenses is 60 cm. The negative sign of lenses acts as a diverging lens.

9.9 Size of the object, h1 = 3 cm

Object distance, u = - 14 cm

Focal length of the concave lens, f = - 21 cm

Image distance = v

According to lens formula

1v - 1u = 1f or 1v - 1-14 = -121

1v = -114-121 or v = -425 = - 8.4 cm

Hence, the image is formed on the other side of the lens, 8.4 cm away from the lens. The negative sign shows that the image is erect and virtual.

The magnification of the image is given as:

m = Imageheight(h2)Objectheight(h1) = vu

h2h1 = -8.4-14 or h2 = 0.6 *3 = 1.8 cm

If the object is moved further away from the lens, then the virtual image will move towards the focus of

9.8 Object distance, u = 12 cm

Focal length of the convex lens, f = 20 cm

Image distance = v

According to lens formula

1v - 1u = 1f or 1v - 112 = 120

1v = 120+112 or v = 608 = 7.5 cm

Hence,theimageisformed7.5cmawayfromthelens,towardsitsright.

Focal length of the concave lens, f = -16 cm

Image distance = v

According to lens formula

1v - 1u = 1f or 1v - 112 = -116

1v = -116+112 or v = 481 = 48 cm

Hence,theimageisformed48cmawayfromthelens,towardsitsright.

9.7 Refractive index of glass, μ = 1.55

Focal length required for the double-convex lenses, f = 20 cm

Let the radius of curvature of one face of the lens be = R1 and the other face be = R2

Let the radius of curvature of the double convex lenses be = R

Then R1=R and R2=-R

The value of R can be calculated as:

1f = ( μ - 1) 1R1-1R2

120 = ( 1.55 - 1) 1R+1R

0.05 = 0.55 *2R

R = 22 cm

Hence, the radius of curvature for double-convex lens is 22 cm.

9.6 The angle of minimum deviation, δm = 40 °

Angle of prism, A = 60 °

Let the refractive index of water, =1.33 , and the refractive index of prism material = μ'

The angle of deviation is related to refractive index μ' is given as

μ'=sin?(A+δm)2sin?A2 = sin?(60°+40°)2sin?60°2 = sin?50°sin?30° = 1.532

So the refractive index of prism material is 1.532

Since the prism is placed in water, let δm' be the new angle of minimum deviation.

The refractive index of glass with respect to water is given by the relation:

μgw = μ'μ = sin?(A+δm')2sin?A2

1.5321.33 = sin?(60°+δm')2sin?60°2

1.152 *sin?30° = sin?(60°+δm')2

(60°+δm')2=sin-1?0.576 = 35.2 °

δm'=2* 35.2 ° - 60 ° = 10.33&nb

Initial kinetic energy of the rocket = 12mv2

Initial potential energy of the rocket = -GMmR

Total initial energy = 12mv2-GMmR

If 20% of initial kinetic energy is lost due to Martian atmosphere resistance, then only 80% of its kinetic energy helps in reaching a height

Total initial energy available = 0.8 *12mv2 -GMmR

Maximum height reached by the rocket = h

At this height, the velocity and hence the kinetic energy of the rocket becomes zero.

Total energy of the rocket at height h = -GMmR+h

Applying the law of conservation of energy for the rocket, we can write:

0.4 *mv2 -GMmR = -GMmR+h

0.4 v2 = GM( 1R -1R+h)

0.4 v2 = GM( R+h-RR(R+h) )

Mass of the spaceship, ms = 1000 kg

Mass of the Sun, M = 2 * 1030 kg

Mass of Mars, mm = 6.4*1023 kg

Orbital radius of Mars, R = 2.28 *108 km = 2.28 *1011 m

Radius of Mars, r = 3395 km = 3.395 *106m

Universal Gravitational constant, G = 6.67*10-11 N m2 kg–2

Potential energy of the spaceship due to the gravitational attraction of the Sun = -GMmsR

Potential energy of the spaceship due to the gravitational attraction of Mars= -Gmsmmr

Since the spaceship is stationed on Mars, its velocity and hence its kinetic energy will be zero

Total energy of the spaceship = -GMmsR --Gmsmmr = -Gms(MR + mmr )

The negative sign indicates that th

Yes, a body gets stuck to the surface of a star if the inward gravitational force is greater than the outward centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the star.

Gravitational force, fg = GMmR2 , where M = mass of the star = 2.5 *2*1030 = 5 *1030 kg

M = mass of the body, R = radius of the star = 12km = 1.2 *104m

fg = 6.67*10-11*5*1030*m(1.2*104)2= 2.31 *1012mN

Centrifugal force fc = mr ω2 where ω= angular speed = 2 πγ and angular frequency γ = 1.2 rev/s

fc= mR( 2πγ)2 = m * (1.2 *104)*2*3.14*1.2*(2*3.14*1.2) = 6.81 *105mN

Since fg>fc , the body will remain stuck to the surface of the star.

Mass of the Earth, M = 6.0 *1024 kg

Radius of the Earth, R = 6400 km = 6.4 *106 m

Height of geostationary satellite from the surface of the Earth, h = 36000 km = 3.6 *107 m

Gravitational potential energy due to Earth's gravity at height h:

-GM (R+h)

-6.67*10-11*6.0*10243.6*107+6.4*106 = -6.67*6.0*10134.24*107 = - 9.44 *106 J/kg
