Question
Solve the previous problem if the paperweight is inverted at its place so that the spherical surface touches the paper.
✓
Answer
Thickness of glass $=3\text{cm}, \ \mu_{\text{g}}=1.5$ Image shif $=3\Big(1-\frac{1}{1.5}\Big)$ [Treating it as a simple refraction problem because the upper surface is flat and the spherical surface is in contact with the object]$=3\times\frac{0.5}{1.5}=1\text{cm}.$The image will appear 1 cm above the point P.

The normal activity of living carbon-containing matter is found to be about 15 decays per minute for every gram of carbon. This activity arises from the small proportion of radioactive $ ^{14}_6\text{C}$ present with the stable carbon isotope $^{12}_6\text{C}.$ When the organism is dead, its interaction with the atmosphere (which maintains the above equilibrium activity) ceases and its activity begins to drop. From the known half-life (5730 years) of $^{14}_6\text{C },$ and the measured activity, the age of the specimen can be approximately estimated. This is the principle of $^{14}_6\text{C}$ datingused in archaeology. Suppose a specimen from Mohenjodaro gives an activity of 9 decays per minute per gram of carbon. Estimate the approximate age of the Indus-Valley civilisation.
