Which is more powerful between a magnetic compass needle and a bar magnet ?

A convex lens is placed over a plane mirror. A pin is now positioned so that there is no parallax between the pin and its image formed by this lens-mirror combination. How can this observation be used to find the focal length of the convex lens? Give appropriate reasons in support of your answer.

A convex lens of focal length 15 cm , and a concave mirror of radius of curvature 20 cm are placed co-axially 10 cm apart. An object is placed in front of convex lens so that there is no parallax between the object and its image formed by the combination. Find the position of the object.

In u-v method for finding the focal length of a concave mirror. The mirror is fixed at position A marked 20.0cm on an optical bench and an object needle is placed at position B marked 45.0cm on an optical banch. For no parallax between object needle and image needle the image needle at position C 57.5cm on optical bench. Then percentage error in the measurement of focal length of the mirror is

A ship has to reach a palce which is due est form its present position . Declination at this point is 15^(@) . The direction form compass needle in which it should sail is .

Choose the correct alternative corresponding to the object distance 'u', image distance 'v' and the focal length 'F' of a converging lens from the following. (i) The average speed of the image as the object moves with uniform speed from distance (3F)/(4) to (F)/(2) is greater than the average speed of the image as the object moves with same speed from distance (F)/(2) to (F)/(4) (ii) The minium distance between a real object and its real image in case of a converging lens is 4F where F is its focal length.

To find index error v when the same knitting needle is adjusted between the pole and the image needle the separation between the indices of image needle and mirror was found to be 19.9 cm Index error for v is .

(a) The diagram shows a bar magnet surrounded by four potting compasses. Copy the diagram and mark in it the direction of the compass needle for each of the case B, C and D. (b) Which is the north pole, X or Y ?

In u-v method, we require the distance between object or image from the pole (vertex) of the mirror (actual distance). But practically we measure the distance between the indices A and B . (Observed distance). Which need not exactly co-inside with object and pole, there can be a slight mismatch called index error, which will be constant for every observation. Index error=Observed distance-Actual distance(Just like zero error in screw guage, it is the excess reading). To determine index error, mirror and object needle and placed at arbitary position. For measuring actual distance, a knitting needle is just fitted between the pole of mirror and object needle O . The length of knitting needle will give the actual object distance while the seperation between indices A and B at that instant is the observed distance. So index error is- e= Observed distance-Actual distance = Separation between indices A and B - Length of knitting neddle once we get e , in every observation, we get Actual distance=Observed distance (separation between the indices)- Excess reading(e) There is an another term, Index corraction which is invert of index error. Index correction=-index error To find index error for v , when the same knitting needle is adjusted between the pole and the image needle, the separation between the indices of image needle and mirror was found to be 19.9cm . Index error for v is
