A man standing on a moving escalator, completes a certain distance in time t_(1) . If the escalator does not move then man covers this distance in time t_(2) by walking. (i) How much time will he take to cover the same distance if he move on the moving escalator in the same direction ? (ii) How much time will he take to cover the same distance if he move on the moving escalator in the opposite direction ?

On a long horizontally moving belt, a child runs to an fro with a speed 9 kmh^(-1) ( with respect to the belt) between his father and mother located 50m a part on the moving belt. The belt moves with a speed of 4 kmh^(-1) . For an observer on a stationery platform outside, what is the (i) speed of the child running in the direction of motion of the belt, (ii) speed of the child running opposited to the direction of motion of the belt , and (iii) time taken by child in (i) and (ii) ? which of the answers alter if motion is viewed by one of the parents?

Internal micrometer is a measuring intrument used to measure internal diameter (ID) of a large cylinder bore with high accuracy. Construction is shown in figure. There is one fixed rod B (to the right in figure) and one moved rod A (to the left in figure). It is based on the particle of advancement of a screw when it is rotated in a nut with internal threads. Main scale reading can be directly seen on the hub which is fixed with respect to rod B. When the cap is rotated rod A moves in or cut depending on direction of rotation. The circular scale reading is seen by checking which division of circular scale coincide with the references line This is to be multiplied by LC to get circular scale reading. Least count = value of 1 circular scale division = ("pitch")/("number of division on circular scale") Length of rod A is chosen to match the ID(PQ) to be measured. Zero error is checked by taking reading between standard blocks fixed at normal value of ID to be measured. Zero error is positive if cap end is one the right of the main scale and negative it is on the left side. During zero setting of the above instrument, the end of the cap is on left side of the zero of main scale (i.e. zero of main scale is not visible) and 41^(th) division of circular scale coincides with the reference line, the zero error is -

Huygen was the figure scientist who proposed the idea of wave theory of light he said that the light propagates in form of wavelengths. A wavefront is a imaginary surface of every point of which waves are in the same. phase. For example the wavefront for a point source of light is collection of concentric spheres which have centre at the origin w_(1) is a wavefront w_(2) is another wavefront. The radius of the wavefront at time 't' is 'ct' in thic case where 'c' is the speed of light the direction of propagation of light is perpendicular to the surface of the wavelength. the wavefronts are plane wavefronts in case of a parallel beam of light. Huygen also said that every point of the wavefront acts as the source of secondary wavelets. The tangent drawn to all secondary wavelets at a time is the new wavefront at that time. The wavelets are to be considered only in the forward direction (i.e., the direction of propagation of light) and not in the reverse direction if a wavefront w_(1) and draw spheres of radius 'cDeltat' they are called secondary wavelets. Draw a surface w_(2) which is tangential to all these secondary wavelets w_(2) is the wavefront at time t+Deltat Huygen proved the laws of reflection and laws of refraction using concept of wavefront. Q. A point source of light is placed at origin, in air. the equation of wavefront of the wave at time t, emitted by source at t=0 is (take refractive index of air as 1)
