Verified by Experts
The correct Answer is:
A, B, D
In the given Fizeau's apparatus
`D=12 km=12xx10^-3m`
n=180
`c=3xx10^8m/sec`
We know c=(2Dnomega)/pi`
`rarr w=(pc)/(2Dm)rad/sec`
`=(pc)/(2Dm)xx180/pdeg/s`
`rarr w=180xx3xx10^8/(24xx10^3)xx180`
`=1.25xx10^4deg/sec`
`D=12 km=12xx10^-3m`
n=180
`c=3xx10^8m/sec`
We know c=(2Dnomega)/pi`
`rarr w=(pc)/(2Dm)rad/sec`
`=(pc)/(2Dm)xx180/pdeg/s`
`rarr w=180xx3xx10^8/(24xx10^3)xx180`
`=1.25xx10^4deg/sec`

In a Michelson experiment for measuring speed of light, the distance travelled by light between two reflections from the rotating mirror is 4.8 km. The rotating mirror has a shape of a regular octagon. At what minimum angular speed of the mirror (other than zero) the image is formed at the position where a non rotating mirror forms it ?
In an experiment with Foucault's apparatus, the various distances used are as follows : Distance between the rotating and the fixed mirror = 16 m Distance between the lens and the rotating mirror = 6 m, Distance between the source and the lens = 2 m. When the mirror is rotated at a speed of 356 revolutions per second, the image shifts by 0.7 mm. Calculate the speed of light from these data.

Two concave mirrors of equal radii of curvature R are fixed on a stand facing opposite directions. The whole system has a mass m and is kept on a frictionless horizonal table. Two blocks A and B, each of mass m, are placed on the two side of the stand. At t=0, the separation between A and the mirrors is 2R and also the separation between B and the mirrors is 2R. The block B moves towards the mirror at a speed v. All collisions which take place are elastic. Taking the original position of the mirrors stand system to be x=0 and X -axis along AB, find the position of the image of A and B at t= a.) R/(upsilon) , b.) (3R)/(upsilon) c.) (5R)/(upsilon)
