When the distance between the object and the screen is more than 4 f . We can obtain image of the object on the screen for the two positions of the lens. If is called displacement method. In one case, the image is magnified and in the other case, it is diminished. If I_(1) and I_(2) be the sized of the two images, then the size of the object is

(A) : When a source moves towards a stationary observer, the speed of source relative to the observer remains unchanged. (R): The apparent change in frequency is due to change in the wavelength brought by the motion of the source.

An object is brought from a far distance towards a concave mirror. How do the nature, position and size of image change?

In displacement method distance of object from convex lens of focal length 20 cm in one position 60 cm. Then

If a body of mass m is raised to height 2 R from the earth s surface, then the change in potential energy of the body is (R is the radius of earth)

A body of mass m is lifted up from the surface of earth to a height three times the radius of the earth R . The change in potential energy of the body is

A par sec is a convenient unit of length on the astronomical scale. It is the distance o an object that will show a parallax of 1 s of arc from opposite ends of a base line equal to the distance from the earth to the sun. How much is a sec in terms of metre?

A satellite of mass m is in an elliptical orbit around the earth. The speed of the satellite at its nearest position is (6GM)//(5r) where r is the perigee (nearest point) distance from the centre of the earth. It is desired to transfer the satellite to the circular orbit of radius equal to its apogee (farthest point) distance from the centre of the earth. The change in orbital speed required for this purpose is

In case of a convex mirror, if object is moved away from the mirror, how do the position, size and nature of image change?

Statement(A): The reflection of sound from an extended object is echo Statement(B): The super position of waves of same frequency is beats Statement(C): The apparent change in frequency of source of sound due to relative motion between source and observer is Doppler effect Statement(D): The super position of wave of slightly differ in frequency is stationary waves
