Let A = The set of all natural numbers less than 8, B = The set of all prime numbers less than 8, C = The set of even prime number. Verify that (i) (A ∩ B) x C = (A x c) ∩ (B x C) (ii) A x (B – C) = (A x B) – (A x C)

Answer»

A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} 

B = {2, 3, 5, 7} 

C = {2}

(i) (A ∩ B) x C = (A x C) ∩ (B x C) 

A ∩ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} ∩ {2, 3, 5, 7} 

= {2, 3, 5, 7} 

(A ∩ B) x C = {2, 3, 5, 7} x {2} 

= {(2, 2) (3, 2) (5, 2) (7, 2)} … (1) 

A x C = {1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} x {2} = {(1,2) (2, 2) (3, 2) (4, 2) (5.2) (6, 2) (7, 2)}

= {(1, 2) (2, 2) (3, 2) (4, 2) (5, 2) (6.2) (7,2)} 

(A x B) – (A x C) = {(1, 3) (1, 5) (1, 7) (2, 3) (2, 5) (2, 7) (3, 3) (3, 5) (3, 7) (4, 3) (4, 5) (4, 7) (5, 3) (5, 5) (5, 7) (6, 3) (6, 5) (6, 7) (7, 3) (7, 5) (7, 7)} … (2)

Explain input devices of a computer?

Answer»

Input Devices:

Keyboard :

Keyboard (wired / wireless, virtual) is the most common input device used today. The individual keys for letters, numbers and special characters are collectively known as character keys. This keyboard layout is derived from the keyboard of original typewriter.

Mouse:

Mouse (wired/wireless) is a pointing device used to control the movement of the cursor on the display screen.

Types of Mouses:

1. Mechanical Mouse

2. Optical Mouse.

3. Laser Mouse

Scanner :

Scanners are used to enter the information directly into the computer’s memory. This device works like a Xerox machine. The scanner converts any type of printed or written information including photographs into a digital format, which can be manipulated by the computer.

Track Ball :

Track ball is similar to the upside – down design of the mouse. The user moves the ball directly, while the device itself remains stationary. The user spins the ball in various directions to navigate the screen movements.

Retinal Scanner :

This performs a retinal scan which is a biometric technique that uses unique patterns on a person’s retinal blood vessels.

Light Pen :

A light pen is a pointing device shaped like a pen and is connected to a monitor.

The tip of the light pen contains a light-sensitive element which detects the light from the screen enabling the computer to identify the location of the pen on the screen. Light pens have the advantage of ‘drawing’ directly onto the screen, but this becomes hard to use, and is also not accurate.

Optical Character Reader :

It is a device which detects characters printed or written on a paper with OCR, a user can scan a page from a book. The Computer will recognize the characters in the page as letters and punctuation marks and stores. The Scanned document can be edited using a word processor.

Bar Code / QR Code Reader :

A Bar code is a pattern printed in lines of different thickness. The Bar code reader scans the information on the bar codes transmits to the Computer for further processing. The system gives fast and error free entry of information into the computer.

QR (Quick response) Code :

The QR code is the two dimension bar code which can be read by a camera and processed to interpert the image

Voice Input Systems :

Microphone serves as a voice Input device. It captures the voice data and send it to the Computer. Using the microphone along with speech recognition software can offer a completely new approach to input information into the Computer.

Digital Camera :

It captures images / videos directly in the digital form. It uses a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) electronic chip. When light falls on the chip through the lens, it converts light rays into digital format.

Touch Screen :

A touch screen is a display device that allows the user to interact with a computer by using the finger. It can be quite useful as an alternative to a mouse or keyboard for navigating a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Touch screens are used on a wide variety of devices such as computers, laptops, monitors, smart phones, tablets, cash registers and information kiosks. Some touch screens use a grid of infrared beams to sense the presence of a finger instead of utilizing touch – sensitive input.

Keyer :

A Keyer is a device for signaling by hand, by way of pressing one or more switches. Modem keyers have a large number of switches but not as many as a full size keyboard. Typically, this number is between 4 and 50.

How far should an object be placed from a convex lens of focal length 20 cm to obtain its image at a distance of 30 cm from the lens? What will be the height of the image, if the objects is 6 cm tall?

Answer»

According to the question;

Object distance = u; 

Image distance (v) = 30cm; 

Focal length = 20cm 

By lens formula; 

\(\frac1v\,-\,\frac1u\,=\,\frac1f\)

\(\frac{1}{30}\,-\,\frac1u\,=\,\frac{1}{20}\) 

\(\frac1u\,=\,\frac{1}{30}\,-\,\frac{1}{20}\)

\(\frac1u\,=\,\frac{20\,-\,30}{600}\,=\,\frac{-10}{600}\)

⇒ \(\frac1u\,=\,\frac{-1}{60}\)

u = -60cm.

Therefore object is placed at 60 cm in front of lens.

Now; 

Height of object h1= 6cm; 

Magnification =\(\frac{h_2}{h_1}\) =\(\frac{v}{u}\) 

Putting values of v and u 

Magnification =\(\frac{h_2}{6}\,=\,\frac{30}{-60}\)

⇒ \(\frac{h_2}{6}\,=\,\frac{-1}{2}\)

⇒ h2 = - \(\frac62\) = -3

Height of image is 3 cm. 

Negative sign means image is real and inverted.

27875.

A spherical mirror and a lens have same focal length of - 20 cm. What type of mirror and lens are these?

Answer»

A concave mirror and concave lens have negative focal length. Hence, both mirror and lens are concave.

27876.

A spherical mirror and a thin spherical lens have each a focal length of -15 cm. The mirror and lens are likely to be(a) both concave (b) both convex(c) the mirror is concave and the lens is convex(d) the mirror is convex and the lens is concave

Answer»

Concave mirror and concave lens both have negative focal length, choice (c) is correct

27877.

A spherical mirror has focal length -10 cm. What type of mirror is it likely to be?

Answer»

The mirror is likely to be the concave mirror because the focal length of the concave mirror is negative because the focus is on the left-hand side of the mirror which is taken to be negative according to sign convention. 

Thus the required spherical mirror is a concave mirror of focal length 10 cm.

27878.

An object is placed 80 cm from a converging lens of focal length 25 cm. What is the nature of the image?

Answer»

The image is real, inverted and diminished as the object is placed beyond 2F.

27879.

Image formed by plane mirror is (a) real and erect (b) real an inverted (c) virtual and erect (d) virtual and inverted

Answer»

(c) virtual and erect

27880.

Write true or false for the following statements: A virtual, magnified and erect image can be formed by a concave mirror.

Answer»

True

When an object is kept between the focus and pole of a concave mirror, a virtual, magnified and erect image is obtained behind the mirror.

27881.

State and define the S.I. unit of power of a lens.

Answer»

The S.I unit of power of lens is dioptre denoted by D. 

1 D = \(\frac1{1\,m}=1\,m^{-1}\)

Thus 1 Dioptre is the power of the lens having focal length of 1m.

27882.

Define focal length of a spherical lens.

Answer» Distance between optical center and focus of the lens.
27883.

Explain the following spherical lenses :(i) Optical centre(ii) Centres of curvature(iii) Aperture(iv) Principal focus(v) Focal length

Answer»

(i) Optical center: The centre point of a lens is known as its optical centre. It always lies inside the lens. A light beam passing through the optical centre emerges without any deviation. 

(ii) Centre of curvature: It is defined as the centre of the spheres of which the lens is originally a part of. Because the spherical lens consists of two spherical surfaces, the lens has two centres of curvature. 

(iii) Aperture: This is the length or breadth of the lens through which refraction takes place.

(iv) Principal focus: A light ray parallel to the principal axis of the lens meets at a point on the principal axis. This point is called the principal focus. 

(v) Focal length: The distance of the point from the centre of lens or mirror at which a parallel ray of beam converge (or diverge) is called focal-length and the point is called focus.

27884.

Define power of a lens. Write its SI units.

Answer»

The ability of a lens to converge or diverge light ray is termed as Power of a lens.

Power = 1/ Focal length

SI unit of power is Dioptre.
