MCQ

A passenger in an aeroplane shall:

  • A
    Never see a rainbow.
  • B
    May see a primary and a secondary rainbow as concentric circles.
  • C
    May see a primary and a secondary rainbow as concentric arcs.
  • D
    Shall never see a secondary rainbow.

Answer

  1. May see a primary and a secondary rainbow as concentric circles.

Solution:

As aeroplane is at higher altitude, the passenger in an aeroplane may see a primary and a secondary rainbow like concentric circles.

Key Concept:

  1. If an object move with constant speed (V0) towards a convex lens from infinity to focus, the image will move slower in the beginning and then faster. Also $\text{V}_\text{i}=\Big(\frac{\text{f}}{\text{f}+\text{u}}\Big)^2\text{V}_0$.
  2. If an object approaches the lens, the image moves away from lens with a non-uniform acceleratiion.
