The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we will analyze both statements separately and determine their validity based on the principles of geometrical optics. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Analyze Statement 1** - **Statement**: The formula connecting \( u, v \), and \( f \) for a spherical mirror whose sizes are very small compared to their radii of curvature. - **Explanation**: The formula for spherical mirrors is given by: \[ \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} \] where \( f \) is the focal length, \( v \) is the image distance, and \( u \) is the object distance. This formula is derived under the assumption that the size of the mirror is small compared to its radius of curvature. This approximation allows us to treat the rays as if they are parallel and simplifies the geometry involved in deriving the mirror formula. - **Conclusion**: Statement 1 is **True**. **Step 2: Analyze Statement 2** - **Statement**: Laws of reflection are strictly valid for plane surfaces, but not for large spherical surfaces. - **Explanation**: The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, and this principle applies to all reflective surfaces, including spherical mirrors, regardless of their size. While the approximation used in deriving the mirror formula may break down for very large spherical mirrors, the law of reflection itself remains valid. - **Conclusion**: Statement 2 is **False**. ### Final Conclusion: - **Statement 1** is True. - **Statement 2** is False. Thus, the correct answer is that Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false.

A thin copper rod of uniform cross section A square metres and of length L metres has a spherical metal sphere of radius r metre at tis one end symmetrically attached to the copper rod. The thermal conductivity of copper is K and the emissivity of the spherical surface of the sphere is epsi .The free end of the copper rod is maintained at the temperature T kelving by supplying thermal energy from a P watt source. Steady state conditions are allowed ot be established while the rod is properly insulated aginst heat loss from its lateral surface. Surroundings are at 0^@C Stefan's constant =sigma W//m^(2)K^(4) . If the metal sphere attached at the end of the copper rod is made of brass, whose thermal conductivity is K_b lt K , then which of the following statements is true?

(a) define electrie flux. Write its, S.I unit. " Gauses's law in electrostatis is true for any closed surface, no matter what its shape or size is. Justify this statement with the help of a suitable example. (b) Use Gauss's law to prove that the electric field inside a uniformly charged spherical shell is zero.

When two concentric shells are connected by a thin conducting wire, whole of the charge of inner shell transfers to the outer shell and potential difference between them becomes zero. Surface charge densities of two thin concentric spherical shells are sigma and -sigma respectively. Their radii are R and 2R . Now they are connected by a thin wire. Suppose electric field at a distance r (gt 2R) was E_(1) before connecting the two shells and E_(2) after connecting the two shells, then |E_(2)/E_(1)| is :-
