Question

How will an air bubble behave like a lens in water?

✓

Answer

Both the surfaces of the air bubble are convex. Hence this behaves like a convex lens. But the refractive index of water is greater than the refractive index of air. Therefore, due to the change in the nature of the air bubble present in the water tank, it will act like a concave lens.

A hydrogen atom contains one proton and one electron. It may be assumed that the electron revolves in a circle of radius 0.53 angstrom (1 angstrom = 10^-10m and is abbreviated as A) with the proton at the centre. The hydrogen atom is said to be in the ground state in this case. Find the magnitude of the electric force between the proton and the electron of a hydrogen atom in its ground state.
