A person has `D` cm wide face and his two eyes are separated by d cm. The minimum width of a mirror required for the person to view his complete face is

A

`(D+d)/(2)`

B

`(D-d)/(4)`

C

`(D+d)/(4)`

D

`(D-d)/(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
According to ray diagram:
` H_(1)M'_(1) = (H_(1)E_(2))/(2)` & `H_(2)M'_(2) = (H_(2)E_(1))/(2)`
`H_(1)E_(2) = D - (1)/(2) (D-d) = (D+d)/(2) = H_(2)E_(1)`
`M'_(1)M'_(2) = D-H_(1)M'_(1) - H_(2)M'_(2) = D - ((D+d)/(2))`
=`(D-d)/(2)`

A person has a defect of eye vision. His near point is 40 cm. It means …

An eye can distinguish between two points of an object if they are separated by more than 0.22 mm when the object is placed at 25 cm from the eye. The object is now seen by a compound microscope having a 20 D objective and 10 D eyepiece separated by a distance of 20 cm. The final image is formed at 25 cm from the eye. What is the minimum separation between two points of the object which can now be distinguished?

Scientists are working hard to develop nuclear fusion reactor Nuclei of heavy hydrogen, _(1)^(2)H , known as deuteron and denoted by D , can be thought of as a candidate for fusion rector . The D-D reaction is _(1)^(2) H + _(1)^(2) H rarr _(2)^(1) He + n+ energy. In the core of fusion reactor, a gas of heavy hydrogen of _(1)^(2) H is fully ionized into deuteron nuclei and electrons. This collection of _1^2H nuclei and electrons is known as plasma . The nuclei move randomly in the reactor core and occasionally come close enough for nuclear fusion to take place. Usually , the temperature in the reactor core are too high and no material will can be used to confine the to plasma for a time t_(0) before the particles fly away from the core. If n is the density (number volume ) of deuterons , the product nt_(0) is called Lawson number. In one of the criteria , a reactor is termed successful if Lawson number is greater then 5 xx 10^(14) s//cm^(2) it may be helpfull to use the following boltzmann constant lambda = 8.6 xx 10^(-5)eV//k, (e^(2))/(4 pi s_(0)) = 1.44 xx 10^(-9) eVm Assume that two deuteron nuclei in the core of fusion reactor at temperature energy T are moving toward each other, each with kinectic energy 1.5 kT , when the seperation between them is large enough to neglect coulomb potential energy . Also neglate any interaction from other particle in the core . The minimum temperature T required for them to reach a separation of 4 xx 10^(-15) m is in the range

A person walking in a straight line, covers half of the distance to be travelled with a speed of v_(0). For half of the time, required to complete the remaining distance, he walks with a speed of v_(1) and for the remaining half time his speed is v_(2) What is the person's average speed during this complete walk ?

A wooden bookshelf has external dimensions as follows : Height = 110 cm, Depth = 25 cm, Breadth = 85 cm (see the given figure). The thickness of the plank is 5 cm everywhere. The external faces are to be polished and the inner faces are to be painted. If the rate of polishing is 20 paise per cm^(2) and the rate of painting is 10 paise per cm^(2) , find the total expenses required for polishing and painting the surface of the bookshelf.

The ciliary muscles of eye control the curvature of the lens in the eye and hence can alter the effective focal length of the system. When the muscles are fully relaxed, the focal length is maximum. When the muscles are strained, the curvature of lens increases. That means radius of curvature decreases and focal length decreases. For a clear vision, the image must be on the retina. The image distance is therefore fixed for clear vision and it equals the distance of retina from eye lens. It is about 2.5cm for a grown up person. A perosn can theoretically have clear vision of an object situated at any large distance from the eye. The smallest distance at which a person can clearly see is related to minimum possible focal length. The ciliary muscles are most strained in this position. For an average grown up person, minimum distance of the object should be around 25cm. A person suffering from eye defects uses spectacles (eye glass). The function of lens of spectacles is to form the image of the objects within the range in which the person can see clearly. The image o the spectacle lens becomes object for the eye lens and whose image is formed on the retina. The number of spectacle lens used for th eremedy of eye defect is decided by the power fo the lens required and the number of spectacle lens is equal to the numerical value of the power of lens with sign. For example, if power of the lens required is +3D (converging lens of focal length 100//3cm ), then number of lens will be +3 . For all the calculations required, you can use the lens formula and lensmaker's formula. Assume that the eye lens is equiconvex lens. Neglect the distance between the eye lens and the spectacle lens. Q. Maximum focal length of a eye lens of a normal person is
