Do we have liquid lenses . what are it uses?

Answer» LIQUID lens technology has a wide range of applications. Because the liquid lens is so small, LIGHT and INEXPENSIVE, it can easily be incorporated into a variety of objects. Soon every laptop might come with a built in webcam made from a liquid lens. One of the few disadvantages of a liquid lens made with water is that it is subject to FREEZING at low TEMPERATURES. If you have a cell phone or camera with a liquid lens, be careful not to expose it to very cold temperatures for long periods of time, or you could damage your liquid lens by freezing the water inside it.

Class XII problemDipole moment - please explain

Answer»

Dipole moment is commonly known as ELECTRIC dipole moment ...We define the electric dipole moment p (also called the electric dipole), which has charges +Q and -q, and with r, the vector from the negative to the positive charge .......Note that since r is a vector with a certain direction, so is p. Simplistically here it points from negative charge to positive charge.......The SI units are Coulomb-meter . This article is limited to static phenomena, and does not describe time-dependent or DYNAMIC POLARIZATION. The magnitude of dipole moment DETERMINES the electric field strength..... Thank you ;)

Class XII problemVariation of electric field and electric potential with distance from a point charge.

Answer»

Electrical force on a point unit CHARGE which is at a distance x, exerted by a point charge q = electric field =
\vec{E}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon}* \frac{q}{x^2}
the direction of electric field is ALONG the line joining the charges.

variation of electric field with distance from the point charge =
\frac{d\vec{E}}{dx}=the\ derivative=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon}\frac{(-2)q}{x^3}}\\\\=-\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon\ x^3}

The electric potential at point P (at distance x from origin) due to the electric point  charge q at the origin = V
     V = energy REQUIRED to move a unit charge q₀ from infinity, against the electric force due to charge q, to the point P at a distance x away from q.

V=U/q_0=\int\limits^x_\infty {\vec{F}.} \, \vec{ds} =\int\limits^x_\infty {F} \, dx\\\\=\int\limits^x_\infty {\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon}\frac{q}{x^2}} \, dx \\\\V=-\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon}*\frac{q}{x}

the variation of electric potential with distance is 
\frac{dV}{dx}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon}\frac{q}{x^2}=\vec{E}

How to derive lens formula step by step any body plzzzz

Answer»

Let SPS' be a convex mirror surface separating a rarer medium of ABSOLUTE refractive index n₁ from a DENSER medium of refractive index n₂.Let P be the centre of curvature of the surface .PC is the radius of curvature R of the surface.Let a point-object O placed on the principal axis PC produced backwards.An INCIDENT ray of light OA,after reflection at the point A on the surface,bends towards the normal CAN and goes along AI in the denser medium.Another incident ray OP falls on the refracting surface normally and goes un-deviated into the denser medium.The 2 refracted rays meet at the principal axis at I which is the real image of O.
Suppose the angle of incidence OAM=i,the angle of refraction IAC=r ,Po=-u,PI=+v and PC=+R.According to the coordinate geometry sign convention,u is -ve while v and R is +ve.Let α,β,γ b the angle made by OA,IA,Ca respect. with proncipal axis.Let H be the height of the normal AM dropped from A on the principal axis.Now,in ΔCOA,
i=α+γ
γ=r+β........[in CIA]
or r=γ-β
by snell's law:
sini/sinr=n2/n1
or n₁ sin i= n₂ sin r
or n₁i=n₂r......................[since the spherical mirror is of small aperture]
subtitute values
n₁(α+β)=n₂(γ-β)
or,n₁+α+n₂+β=(n₂-n₁)
therefore,α=tanα =AM/Mo=Am/Po=h/-u
β=tanβ=Am/Mi=AM/PC=h/v
γ=tanγ=AM/MC=AM/PC=h/r

n₂(h/v)+n₁(h/-u)=(n₂-n₁)h/r
orn₂/v-n₁/u=(n-n₁)/R
therefore the required eq. is
n/v-i/u=(n-1)/R

What is Newton's Laws and Weight, Mass & Gravity?

Answer»

Newton gave three laws.
First LAW -
An object at rest continues to be at rest and an object in motion continues to be in motion till an external force acts on it.
Second law -
The force on an object is directly proportional to the acceleration of the object.
F = ma
Third law -
EVERY action has an EQUAL and opposite reaction.

Weight = The force acting on a body DUE to gravity.
Mass = The proportionality constant of the RELATION force is directly proportional to acceleration.
Gravity = The attractive force exerted by the earth on other objects.

38.

in order to gain velocity of 12 m/s , how long should a force of 30 N be exerted on a body of mass 5 kg ?

Answer»

Force = mass * ACCELERATION   by Newton's law.

acceleration a = 30 N / 5 kg = 6 m/s²

  FINAL velocity = v,      initial velocity = U,        time duration = t
     we know from equations of dynamics/kinematics:  
              v = u + a t
         t = (v - u) / a = 12 / 6 = 2  seconds.

1Which of these gives always a virtual image?a)convex mirror b)plane mirror c)convex lens d)concave lens2.The refractive index of kerosene &benzene are 1.44 & 1.50 . Then speed of light is more in ..........3.The boiling point of water at higher altitudes.a) increases b) decreasesPLZ I need it immediately....

Answer»

1) CONVEX mirror diverges and reflects the rays falling on it, and hence it always GIVES a virtual image.
    Concave lens transmits the light rays to the other side and diverges them. So only a virtual image is formed.

2)
      Speed of light in a medium = speed of light in vacuum / REFRACTIVE index 
 Since refractive index is less in Kerosene, the speed of light is more in kerosene.

3.
  The BOILING point decreases at HIGHER altitudes, as the atmospheric pressure of air is less.

A uniform wire of resistance 100ohms is melted & recast into a wire of half length & double cross sectional area that of the original.What would be the resistance of new wire formed?

Answer»

The VOLUME of the wire REMAINS same when it is recast.
       A₂ = 2 *A₁       and           L₂ = L₁ / 2          
 
 RESISTANCE R = ρ * L / A
      R₂ = ρ L₂ / A₂ = ρ L₁ / (2 2 A₁)  = R₁ / 4   = 100 Ω / 4 = 25 Ω

  HENCE resistance becomes 1/4 th.
 
You can also SAY that, resistance is proportional to the length and inversely proportional to the area of cross section.  Hence, the resistance becomes 1/2 * 1/2 times initial.

.a room with floor measurement 7m by10m air of mass 250kg at a temperature of 34 degree celsius.The air is cooled until the temperature falls to 24 degrees celsius.(i)calculate the height of the room.(ii)quantity of energy extracted to cool the room.(iii)which is higher,the calculate value or actual energy needed to cool the room?give a reason for your answer.(shc of air=1010j/kg/k density of air 1.25kg/m cube)

Answer»

Room floor AREA : 7 m * 10 m
mass of air :  250 kg 
Temperature T₀ = 34⁰ C
T₁ = 24° C

Air density 1.25 kg / m³   - let us TAKE that this is the density at 34⁰ C
Volume of the room  = mass of air / density = 250 / 1.25 = 200 m³
Height of the room = volume / floor area = 200 / 70 = 2.855 m
==================
shc of air : specific heat CAPACITY of air = 1010 J/ kg/ °K 
Heat extracted when air is cooled from 34° to 24°C : ΔQ = m s ΔT
           = 250 * 1010 * (34 - 24) = 2,525 KJ
======
The actual energy needed (to be extracted) to cool the room is more than the calculated value.  One needs to cool the walls also, while cooling the air in the room.  The walls try to heat the room continuously.  The air outside the room also tries to heat the room.  So that additional heat is also to be extracted out.

Calculations on the loss in weight of a solid when fully immersed in a)tap water b)strongly salty waterdisplaced by it by taking at least two different solids.

Answer»

Tap water may have a density of  1000 kg/m³
very dense and STRONG salty water may have a density of  1050 or 1060 kg/m³

Let a solid have a MASS of  M kg and a volume of V m³, and a density of  d kg/m³.
Let the gravity be G = 10 m/sec².

     Loss in weight of the solid in tap water = V * 1000  kg 
     Loss in weight of the solid in salty water = V * 1050 kg

The loss in weight in salty water is  50 kg per m³ volume of the solid,  more than the loss in weight in tap water.

Flash and thunder are produced simultaneously . but thunder id heard a few second after is seen,why how does the speed of sound in air vary with rise in density of the medium?give one ex. Where kinetic energy is transferred from one object to others. Archimedes could find the purity of king's crown using buoyancy. How?How do u define mechanical work ?Name and define SI unit of work.What do you mean positive and negative work ? Give example

Answer»

The LIGHT waves and sound waves travel a few km.  Their speeds are 300,000 km/s and 340 m/sec.  So there is a difference of seconds of time between seeing a flash and hearing a thunder.
The speed of sound increases with the DENSITY of the medium.  The particles vibrate in the medium to transfer sound ENERGY.  If the particles are closer to each other, then the vibration of one particle induces more easily the vibration in the next particle. Then sound energy is transferred quicker. 
When a moving particle collides with a stationary particle, part or full of the kinetic energy of the moving particle is transferred to the stationary particle.

Archimedes immersed the crown in water.  He noted the difference in water levels to find the volume of water displaced.  He measured the weight by a balance.  Then found the density of the crown.  The pure gold crown is denser and weighs more than impure crown as impurities such as silver, copper are lighter than gold.
He calculated the density of pure gold and density of gold in the crown.

Mechanical work = Force acting on an OBJECT * displacement of the object.
                          = torque acting on an object * angle through which object rotates
               = the change in the kinetic energy of the object. (initial - final)
         The SI unit is Joules.

Positive work means the system or the body in context  has done work.  Negative work means some external system or environment has done work on the system or body.
 
 If a body falls from a height then gravity does work on the body.  So the work done by the body is negative.  So its energy increases.
If a moving ball on a floor comes to rest, then the work done by the ball is positive.  So its energy decreases and final kinetic energy is less than the initial.
