  • Presence of chiral center is not an essential condition to show optical isomerism. Essential condition is compound should show non-superimposable mirror image. Allenes does not contain chiral center but show optical isomerism when different groups are attached on double bonded carbons. Biphenyls also show optical isomerism when both rings are perpendicular to each other and any ring should not contain plane of symmetry. Which of the following biphenyl compounds is optically active?

    A
    B
    C
    D
    all are correct

    Geometrical isomers are stereo isomers which differ in their positions of atoms or groups in space. Represent geometrical isomer of 1,2-dichloroethene.

    A point source of light S, placed at a distance L in front of the centre of a mirror of width h, hangs vertically on a wall. A man walks in front of the mirror along a line parallel to the mirror at a distance 2L from it as shown The greatest distance over which he can see the image of the light source in the mirror is.

    From a concave mirror of focal length f, image is 2 times larger. Then the object distance from the mirror is:

    A concave mirror forms a real image which is thrice the size of an object. If the object is moved 10 cm towards the pole of the mirror, the image becomes twice the size of the object. The focal length of the mirror
