Give an expression for the terminal speed of a small spherical object in a homogenous surrounding fluid.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`V_(1)=((2)/(9eta))a^(2)g(p-rho)`
where, `rho`-density of the small spherical object.
`sigma`- density of the surrounding fluid.
`eta`- viscosity of the fluid
a -radius of a spherical object
`v_(t)` - terminal speod of the object.

Draw a ray diagram showing the formation of the image by a point object on the principal axis of a spherical convex surface separating two media of refractive indices n_(1) and n_(2) , when a point source is kept in rarer medium of refractive index n_(1) .
