Photograph of the ground are taken form ...

Photograph of the ground are taken form an air-craft ,flying at an altitude of 2000 m by a camera with a lens of focal length `50 cm`. The size of the film in the camera is `18xx18cm`.What area of the ground can be photography by this camera at any one time.

As here `u =-2000"m" "f", =0.50 "m"` , so from lens formula `(1)/(v) - (1)/(u) = (1)/(f)`,
we have `(1)/(v) - (1)/((-2000)) = (1)/(0.5) implies (1)/(v) = (1)/(0.5) - (1)/(2000)~=(1)/(0.5) ["as" (1)/(0.5)gt gt(1)/(2000)] implies v=0.5"m" = 50"cm" = f`
Now as in case of a lens , `m = (v)/(u) = (0.5)/(-2000) = -(1)/(4)xx 10^(-3)` So `I_(1)` = (ma)(mb) = `m^(2)A` `[because A= "ab"]`
`A = (I_(1))/(m^(2)) = (18"cm" xx 18"cm")/([(1//4) xx 10^(-3)]^(2)) = (720"m" xx 720"m")`

Consider a concave mirror and a convex lens (refractive index 1.5) of focal length 10 cm each separated by a distance of 50 cm in air (refractive index = 1) as shown in the Fig. An object is placed at a distance of 15 cm from the mirror. Its erect image formed by this combination has magnification M_1 . When this set up is kept in a medium of refractive index 7//6 , the magnification becomes M_2 . The magnitude ((M_2)/(M_1)) is : .

It is a common observation that rain clouds can be at about a kilometer altitude above the ground. (a) If a rain drop falls from such a height freely under gravity, what will be its speed? Also calculate in km/h (g = 10 m//s^(2) ). (b) A typical rain drop is about 4 mm diameter. Momentum is mass x speed in magnitude. Estimate its momentum when it hits ground. (c) Estimate the time required to flatten the drop. (d) Rate of change of momentum is force. Estimate how much force such a drop would exert on you. (e) Estimate the order of magnitude force on umbrella. Typical lateral separation between two rain drops is 5 cm. (Assume that umbrella is circular and has a diameter of 1 m and cloth is not pierced through.)
