Question
Light from a point source in air falls on a spherical glass surface (refractive index, $\mu=1.5$ and radius of curvature $=50 \mathrm{~cm}$ ). The image is formed at a distance of 200 cm from the glass surface inside the glass. The magnitude of distance of the light source from the glass surface is __________ m.

Answer

4
Image
$\frac{\mu_{2}}{v}-\frac{\mu_{1}}{\mathrm{u}}=\frac{\mu_{2}-\mu_{1}}{\mathrm{R}}$
$\frac{1.5}{200}-\frac{1}{-\mathrm{x}}=\frac{1.5-1}{50}$
$\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{100}-\frac{3}{400}$
$\mathrm{x}=400 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\mathrm{x}=4 \mathrm{~m}$

One mole of an ideal monoatomic gas undergoes the following four reversible processes:

Step $1$ It is first compressed adiabatically from volume $V_{1}$ to $1 \;m ^{3}$.

Step $2$ Then expanded isothermally to volume $10 \;m ^{3}$.

Step $3$ Then expanded adiabatically to volume $V _{3}$.

Step $4$ Then compressed isothermally to volume $V_{1}$. If the efficiency of the above cycle is $3 / 4$, then $V_{1}$ is ............ $m^3$
